WHICH SUIT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR Italian Greyhound?

Spaghetti Legs Hound Wear make Italian Greyhound Fashion garments and our styles even fit some other breeds. But how do you know which style is right for your pampered pooch?

The main factors to consider when choosing a Spaghetti Legs Hound Wear are:

• Temperature 

• Activity 

• Your dog's preferences

• Sizing

Let's break down each factor!

TEMPERATURE

Warmth factors are graded from Light through to XWarm.

Warmth rating - Light

Warmth rating - Medium

Warmth rating - Warm

Warmth rating - XWarm

The golden rule is if you're cold, your hound is probably already cold. Dress them to the level of comfort you would dress for each temperature or weather condition, and when unsure, err on the side of warmer. Their thin skin, short fur and lean bods make it really hard for iggys to keep themselves warm. The exception to this is if you're taking them to stretch their spaghetti legs and do an activity like sprinting that could cause them to overheat if in a garment too heavy. That brings us to our next point.

ACTIVITY

if your Iggy is saying good night, settling in for a nap, or planning a full day of lounging and hogging the couch, then it's usually safe to opt for a Medium or Warm garment (unless it's a particularly sweltering Aussie day!). 

The trickiest part is dressing your hound for outdoor activity on a cooler day. Let your Hound walk up a bit of body heat, and then remove their Italian Greyhound clothing before a sprint. Then dress them back up for the walk home – again, pretty much how you would dress yourself!

YOUR HOUND'S PREFERENCE

If your hound is new to clothes – maybe you're their first foster home – it could be a foreign feeling for them. Try easing them into it with a classic sleeveless or Frontleg suit at first – this is the least fabric to work with, and it's possibly the easiest garment to get your hound in and out of. A lot of hounds, especially new-to-the-family hounds, won't enjoy their paws being touched, so a Full Suit option is usually something to try when they're more comfortable.

SIZING

Sizing involves the least guess work! Simply compare your hound’s measurements to our size chart. If they're between sizes, go bigger rather than smaller.
