7 Reasons Your Sighthound Will Love Wearing a T-Shirt

Sighthounds like Whippets, Greyhounds, and Lurchers aren’t just fashion-forward — they

have unique needs that make a well-fitted t-shirt much more than a stylish accessory. At

Pointy Faces, we understand these needs intimately. Here are seven compelling reasons to consider a t-shirt for your hound:

1. Ideal for Transitional Weather

Sighthounds have thin coats and minimal body fat, making them especially sensitive to

changes in temperature. During spring and autumn, when mornings and evenings can be

chilly, a lightweight cotton t-shirt provides just the right amount of warmth without

overheating your dog.

2. Night-time Warmth

Even indoors, sighthounds can get cold at night — especially if they tend to kick off blankets. Dressing them in a t-shirt ensures they stay warm and cosy throughout the night, leading to better sleep for both of you.

3. Perfect for Layering

T-shirts are ideal for layering under coats on colder days. Many dog coats lack chest

coverage, leaving a vulnerable area exposed. A t-shirt underneath provides warmth to the chest and, with long sleeves, to the front legs as well. When you come back inside, simply remove the coat and leave the t-shirt on to keep your hound snug indoors.

4. Visibility

Whether you're jogging with your Whippet or your Lurcher is zooming across the beach, a bright-coloured t-shirt increases visibility. The best choice depends on the weather and

activity level. Choose from High-Visibility Lightweight Vests or bright, patterned cotton

tees to keep your hound safe through increased visibility.

5. Protection from Allergens

If your sighthound loves to frolic in tall grass, they may be prone to skin irritations. A t-shirt

acts as a barrier, shielding their delicate skin from allergens and reducing the risk of rashes and irritations.

6. Comfort During Recovery

A soft, breathable t-shirt can serve as a comfortable alternative to the traditional cone, protecting upper body healing areas while allowing freedom of movement.

7. Style Icon

Let’s face it — life is a catwalk, and sighthounds are the supermodels of the dog world! From al fresco dining to casual park strolls, let your hound strut in one of our fabulous, limited-edition prints. Not only will they turn heads, but you’ll also be adding a collectible piece to their wardrobe, making them a true fashionista.

much. Long sleeves offer warmth for the chest and front legs — perfect for day or

night.
