Padded Whippet Collar
From £37.00
Handmade padded leather Whippet collar with custom colour options, tailored fit, and durable stainless steel hardware.
Give your Whippet comfort and style with a collar shaped for their slender neck and padded for gentle support. This handmade leather collar is designed with Whippets in mind, offering a secure yet comfortable fit for daily walks while protecting delicate skin.
Each collar is crafted to order in our Northumberland workshop using premium Italian calf leather. You can choose one colour for the outer layer and another for the lining, creating a bespoke combination to suit your dog’s personality. Hidden beneath the soft leather is a discreet layer of padding, making it an excellent choice for Whippets who need extra comfort.
Measuring 1.75″ at its widest point and tapering to a slim ¾” strap, this collar balances support and lightness. It’s finished with a stainless steel buckle and D-ring for durability without unnecessary weight. Pair it with a matching leather lead or explore our Whippet collars collection for more designs.

FAQs
What size collar should I choose for my Whippet?
Measure your dog’s neck at the narrowest point, just behind the ears and under the chin. This ensures a snug fit that won’t slip over the head but still allows free movement. Check our Whippet collar size guide before ordering to ensure a tailor-made fit for your dog.
Do Whippets need a special collar?
Yes. Their slender necks and sensitive skin mean they benefit from wider collars that spread pressure evenly. A padded leather Whippet collar reduces rubbing, offers more support, and is the style most recommended by Whippet owners and breeders.
What is the best material for a Whippet collar?
Soft, high-quality leather is a top choice for Whippets. It’s gentle on the skin, strong enough for regular walks, and moulds naturally to the dog’s neck over time. Unlike many synthetic materials, leather won’t fray or develop sharp edges.
Can my Whippet wear this collar all day?
This collar is designed for use on walks rather than as an all-day accessory. While the padding makes it comfortable, wide, walking collars are bulkier than a house collar and may not be as comfortable for lounging or sleeping. Most Whippet owners switch to a lightweight house collar when indoors — these are slimmer, less restrictive, and designed to hold an ID tag without bulk. This approach ensures your dog is always carrying identification while keeping their walking collar ready for when it’s needed.
How to measure for a Whippet collar
Use a soft tape measure and follow these steps:
- Place the tape around the top of your dog’s neck—just behind the ears and under the chin.
- Keep the tape snug, but not tight.
- Note the measurement in inches or centimetres.
This is the narrowest part of your dog’s head, and measuring here helps reduce the risk of your Whippet slipping out of their collar.
Tip: Choose a size where your dog’s neck measurement is closest to the smallest hole in the size range. This gives you a bit of room for adjustment.
How to measure an existing collar
If you have an existing collar that's a perfect fit, then follow the guide below:
Take a look at our size chart below and choose a size where the measurement you have taken from your existing collar falls as close to the middle of the range.
For example, if the length of your existing collar from the end of the leather to the hole you use is 12", then you'd choose a size 11" - 13". This will give you room to tighten or slacken the collar.
If you're at all unsure, please do get in touch. We'd rather you receive the perfect fit for your dog first time.
