Not sure about how to clothe your Hound?
When temps reach 15°C (60°F) or below, pop a Tee on your hound. A good rule of thumb is if you feel chilly and need to pop on a long sleeve tee or jumper – chances are your hound does too!
Some hot tips to keep your greyhound warm:
To gauge if your greyhound is cold – feel their ears. A good indicator is if their ears feel cold, or if they are sleeping tightly curled up in a ball or with their snoot tucked under their paw.
In the evenings, we recommend long johns, long sleeve splice tees or snuggle sweaters (these last two are a good option for those hounds who don’t like the feel of back legs).
How do I acclimatise a newly adopted hound to clothes?
Clothes will be a foreign concept – they might not have ever worn a coat. Ease them into it. Start with a Sleeveless Tee, then move onto a Long Sleeve tee and sweaters, and then see if they’ll entertain the feeling of Long Johns.
Remember that every hound is different, so one might bound around the house and another might statue freeze. We hear that treatos, scritches and positive praise works wonders in getting your new hound used to Hound-Tees.
How do I get my hound into Hound-Tees?
Visit the Fitting Room for our instructional video, as a quick guide:
Putting your Hound-Tee on your Hound: First pop it over their head, centre it along the back. Using the stretchy chest panel, gently take their ankle, bring it up and feed the leg through the Hound-Tee. Repeat on other leg.
Taking the Hound-Tee off aka “The Reverse Banana Peel”: Grab the tail of the Tee, pull it all the way up to their chest. Pop their head down, then swiftly peel the tee over their head. Drop it to the ground and then step each leg out. Give them a big scratch for being a good snoot!
Sizing
How to measure your hound
How to Measure:
Chest
Measure your hound around their chest under the front legs. Do this snugly as this is a fitted garment and will stretch to fit your hound neatly.
Length
Measure length from the crook of their neck with their head raised to the start of the tail. Imagine there is an invisible line at their backside and measure to that point.
Tees are made in stretch fabrics so they fit snug. Sweater styles are designed to be a looser fit for layering.
Fitting Tips
Fit based on your doggos chest measurement. If your doggo is bordering on two sizes, size up.
Please note: Sweaters are approximately 2 in / 5 cm larger in the chest. Fleece and sweater styles are designed to be worn looser or over a cotton spandex tee.
My dog seems to be in-between sizes. What do I do?
If you’ve measured once, make sure you measure a second time. If your hound is still in-between sizing, we recommend going with the larger size. If the chest measurement is one size but the back length is another, always go with the chest measurement. If you run into any issues, please shoot us an email.
My dog isn’t a greyhound, will Hound-Tees still fit?
Hound-Tees are made to fit dogs with a deep chest and a slim body shape. We currently offer three breed sizes: Greyhound, Whippet, and Italian Greyhound (Iggy).
We find our garments will fit most sighthound breed dogs and some gundog breeds. If you are unsure, please contact us with your dog’s breed and measurements.
