A cool, simple layer for summer walks
This pull-over summer vest is made for slim, deep-chested sighthounds such as Italian Greyhounds and Whippets. It is cut in a clean, simple style and designed to feel cool on warm days, adding a light layer of sun protection for thin coats and helping keep your dog cleaner on dusty or grassy walks.
It slips on over the head with no fiddly fastenings, so it is quick to put on before a walk. Choose lavender, light grey or olive, in sizes from S to 4XL.

Material and safety
The supplier describes the vest as cool and sun-protective; the exact fabric and UV rating have not been confirmed, so we make no specific UPF claim. Clothing does not replace shade and water on hot days: walk in the cooler parts of the day, watch for signs of overheating, and remove the vest if your dog seems too warm. Always supervise your dog while they wear clothing.

These are the supplier's garment measurements, taken laid flat. Allow a 1–3 cm variation. Chest and neck measurements are circumferences. If your dog's chest or neck is close to the chart measurement, the supplier recommends choosing the next size up. Compare all three measurements; do not choose by breed or weight alone.
How to measure your dog
Measure with a soft tape. Back length: from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Chest: around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Neck: around the base of the neck. Because this vest pulls on over the head, check that the neck opening will pass comfortably over your dog's head. Allow comfortable room for movement and check all measurements when sizing up.
Styling
Lavender is soft and pretty on fawn, white and blue coats, olive gives an outdoorsy look, and light grey suits every coat colour. A clean, simple vest that goes with any lead or harness.
Care
