Knitted dog coats
We are fortunate that Erin Hounds Sighthound Rescue are supported by a band of very talented knitters. They donate not only their skills and time, but also the yarns, wools and all the resources used to make these beautiful coats.
Lily the greyhound was a very reluctant model for us (Lily doesn't 'do enthusiasm') and has helped provide a brief sizing and fitting guide for the knitted dog coats which can be found at the bottom of this page.

A guide to getting the right size knitted coat for your dog . . .
With regards to the sizing of knitted dog coats our advice is to buy bigger than your dog's actual measurements.
We measure the coats (measured flat) from the base of the neck to the end of the coat, but we can't factor in the girth of your dog.
Example: Lily here measures 28 inches from the base of her neck to the top of her tail and is a larger (sorry Lily - longer) than the average greyhound lady. She's modelling a knitted dog coat that measures 38 inches when it's laid flat.
This coat is a little too long for Lily, it could do with being about 3 inches shorter, but she needs a coat that covers her bottom and won't keep riding up - so buy big with the knitted dog coats.
