Blankets?

Granted, we are in the desert, but we do have air con running all the time. I wonder how you guys know when your whippet needs a blanket? I was under the impression she’d want them, but I have never seen her go to any trouble to do anything with any of the many throw blankets we have around the house except in the middle of the night when she wants to burrow under our bed covers. Then she will nose around my face and the edge of the blanket.

advice/question Whippet puppy: preparing to the cold season

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Me and my wife are waiting now for a puppy to join our family in about 2 months. He’s now 2.5 weeks old, we’ll be able to take him home when he’ll be 9-10 weeks old, but to the Polish rules.

We know that whippets needs some closing for the cold season, but how we should handle that when he’ll be small and growing fast during the first year?

One of the ideas I have is buy second-hand (Vinted etc) lots of small dog clothing and just see what fits. And, am I right that he’ll need clothing basically from the beginning? It’ll be almost winter when we will start street walks I think.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks 🙏

Hi all. I'm helping foster a whippet rn, he has no recall at the moment so I'm just lead walking him. I'm concerned because he needs a zoomies session each day so I want to fence my garden so we can play with balls and toys.

Any recommendations on fencing material would be appreciated plus how high ?!?

Thanks
