How to measure for a Whippet collar
- Wrap a soft tape measure around the top of your dog’s neck—just behind the ears and under the chin.
- Note the measurement in inches — this is your dog's neck measurement.
- Choose the size where that measurement falls within the range, ideally towards the smaller end to allow for adjustment.
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.
Example:
If your dog's measurement is 12", choose the 11" to 13" size. This means the collar adjusts between 11 and 13 inches — it does not mean the total length of the collar is 13".
If measuring from an existing collar, measure from the end of the leather to the hole you use — not the total length of the collar. The total length will result in a collar that's too big.
If you're unsure which size is right for your dog, please get in touch — we're happy to help.

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.
Perfect for breeds such as: Medium Breed, Sighthound, Basenji, Ibizan Hound, Lurcher, Sloughi, Whippet

FAQs
How long will my order take?
All collars and leads are made to order. We typically dispatch within 3–7 working days, with Royal Mail Tracked 48 adding 2–3 further working days in the UK. Most orders arrive within 5–10 working days. A dispatch notification is sent by email. If you need a collar by a specific date, contact us before ordering.
Can I exchange my collar if it doesn't fit?
Yes. If the collar doesn't fit when it arrives, you can exchange it for a different size. The most common reason for a poor fit is measuring the total length of an existing collar rather than the dog's neck directly. Full details are on our returns and exchanges page at petiquettecollars.co.uk/returns.
What type of collar is best for a Whippet?
Whippets have slim necks and heads that are narrower than their necks, which makes it easy for a normal flat collar to slip off. A Whippet collar has a wider section at the front, often called a fishtail shape, which spreads pressure evenly and keeps your dog safe without discomfort. The tapered ends sit neatly behind the ears so the collar stays in place. You can learn more in our guide to Whippet collars.
How do I clean a leather dog collar?
A wipe with a damp cloth after muddy walks is usually enough to keep our leather collars looking good. For more stubborn stains, perhaps your dog has been rolling in fox poo, add a small amount of washing up liquid to the damp cloth and gently wipe the affected area. If your dog has been swimming, particularly in the sea, give the collar a wipe with a damp cloth afterwards to remove any residue or salt from the leather.
What leather colours can my collar be made in?
Your leather collar can be made in 28 Italian leather colours: Acorn, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Black, Bottle Green, Candyfloss, Chianti, Daffodil, Dove, Dusky Pink, Easter Rose, Jaffa, Lime, Madeira Blue, Mushroom, Olive, Peanut Butter, Purple Velvet, Royal Purple, Ruby, School Grey, Shamrock, Signal Blue, Spearmint, Teal, Thistle, White, and Willow.
