How to put on greyhound clothing

If you’ve ever tried to wrestle a skinny, long-legged greyhound into a dog jumper, you know it’s not always smooth sailing. With their deep chests, narrow heads, and delicate limbs, greyhounds need clothes that fit differently – and go on differently – than your average pup.

That’s exactly why we created Greyt Life: stylish, functional greyhound clothes that are as easy to wear as they are to look at. Our sweaters are designed with thoughtful details to make dressing your greyhound quick and comfortable — for both of you.

Here’s how to put on greyhound clothing the Greyt Life way:

Step 1: Start with the neck

Our wide neck opening is made specifically for greyhounds' unique head shape — wide enough to comfortably slip over the head, but not so loose that it loses shape. Simply guide your dog’s head through the opening with minimal resistance. No bunching, no tugging.

Step 2: Stretchy armholes make it easy

Once the neck is on, you’ll see the large, stretchy armholes sit naturally where they should. Get one ready, gently ask for your dog's paw, and slide the leg through. Then repeat on the other side. The flexible fabric helps guide each leg without pulling or twisting.

Step 3: Adjust and you’re done

The sleeveless design means there’s nothing to bunch at the elbows or catch under the chest. Just a smooth, sleek fit made for greyhound comfort and freedom of movement. And when it’s time to take it off? It’s just as easy.

Considerations when dressing your greyhound

Not all greyhounds are the same — and that’s part of what makes them so special. While some may slip into clothing with ease, others might be experiencing it for the first time. Many greyhounds have never worn a jumper that needs to go over their head or have their legs gently guided through armholes. We recommend keeping the experience positive and calm. Take your time, offer plenty of reassurance (and treats if needed!), and always listen to your hound. Their comfort and trust come first — the sweater will follow.
