⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:

"The harness allows lots of adjustment so it fits perfectly and comfortably, without the risk of him escaping."

Escape Proof: This whippet harness / greyhound harness has a third strap that tucks behind the chest, preventing any chances of escape and giving you peace of mind.

Perfect Fit for Sighthounds: Designed for their unique body shape and deep chest with six points of adjustment for a completely customisable fit.

Unparalleled Comfort: This sighthound harness is completely padded for comfort, including belly straps and chest piece.

Slim Chest Piece for Unrestricted Movement & No Rubbing: The slim profile doesn't get in the way, ensuring your dog can walk, run and play with absolute freedom. Our design leaves plenty of room between and around the front legs, so there's no risk of rubbing, a common problem with other harnesses.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:

"Knowing my dog is safe and secure, means I can enjoy my outdoor time too 😊"

More reasons this is the best greyhound harness, whippet harness and lurcher harness:

Used and recommended by multiple UK dog trainers and sighthound rescue charities such as Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare, Clarks Farm Rescue Centre, Home Run Hounds, Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary, and more.
Features buckles on both sides so that your dog doesn't have to step in to the harness which is great for those that don't like their paws being touched. Quick release buckles make it easy to get on and off - we've also covered these to prevent rubbing.
Made using breathable perforated fabric which is gentle on your dog's skin - keeps them cool on warm days whilst still providing insulation on chilly days.
Safer than a collar as it distributes force across the chest instead of the neck, reducing the risk of injury.
Two multi function handles for complete control, navigating obstacles, and providing additional support for those that need it.
Made with high quality materials so it will stand the test of time.
Reflective detailing for night time visibility - can be paired with one of our LED lights for extra visibility.
Showerproof for a dry dog - quick drying and machine washable.
Easy to use - it's as simple as putting the harness on to get all of these benefits immediately.
Suitable for use as a car harness with our dog car seat belts.
10% of profits from your order will be donated to sighthound charities in the UK.

Although this sighthound harness was designed with sighthounds in mind, it is also suitable for non-sighthound breeds.

We also now have this harness available with a front ring in all sizes and most colours which is available on request - click here to find out more.

Why I Needed This Harness

Blondie, my Saluki mix and the original Snootiful Hound, had a talent for escaping any harness we put her in. Maybe you can relate to this too.

One day walking home from the park, she got loose on a main road and decided that was a good place for zoomies. As you can imagine, the 5 minutes it took to get her back felt like an eternity.

That was the final straw and so I set out to make an escape proof harness to stop Blondie's escape act, and I'm pleased to say that she hasn't come close to escaping since.

Immediately our walks were fun and stress free again, and our bond has never been better.

But I didn't stop there. I wanted to make the perfect harness for the perfect dog(s), so every feature has been designed with our sighthound's unique needs in mind.

So whether you have an escape artist or not, I really believe this is the best harness for sighthounds available.

How The Whippet Harness / Greyhound Harness Works

Traditional harnesses do not account for the unique shape of a sighthound or their knack for escaping harnesses.

Our escape proof harness has a third strap which tucks behind the chest which has a smaller measurement, so it physically cannot slide forwards.

Harness and lead

Very good quality and fit.

Exactly what we needed

My recently rescued hound very quickly escaped her harness, then her collar. Snootiful enables a perfect custom fit, she looks great in it too but wow!! what a difference it makes to walkies. Comfortable and secure allowing better control, what a load off. Helping greyhounds a bonus, money well spent.

Harness for Alice.

We recently purchased a harness never used one before so took time in finding the right one. Wasn't disappointed,gives you more control over Alice especially when cats and foxes are involved. She had slipped her collar previously. Greyhounds are very quick so the harness has given us more confidence when walking her. Made of good quality,highly recommend. Also brought a ID tag collar again made at a good standard. Did have to return though because a little tight which was our fault. Was replaced with a larger size which was no problem with the exchange. Would use again.

No more harness slip heart attacks!

We've been struggling to get a harness to fit our lurcher properly for ages but this one is a snug fit and does slip of when he's determined to go the other way on a walk! Couldn't recommend enough!

Snootiful Beautiful

Fabulous harness with fabulous service.

FAQs

Does this harness have clips / buckles on both sides?

Yes this harness opens on both sides so your dog doesn't have to step in.

This is perfect for dogs that are paw shy / don't like their paws being touched.

Does the harness have a front ring on the chest?

This is something we are in the process of phasing in and we now have it available in most colours / sizes.

It is the default option already for the following variations so you don't need to request it if ordering the following:

Small - Red, Green, or Grey

Large - Black or Green

If you want to order a different size / colour with a front ring, then you will need to contact us before ordering so I can arrange this for you.

We also have double ended leads available to pair with this.

How do I choose the right size for my sighthound?

Measure around the widest part of their chest to get their measurement and then choose the corresponding size.

XS - 43-56cm / 17-22" - Recommended for Italian Greyhounds, small Whippets, puppies

S - 53-69cm / 21-27" - Recommended for Whippets and Adolescent dogs

M - 66-81cm / 26-32" - Recommended for Greyhounds, Lurchers, Salukis, Galgos

L - 79-107cm / 31-42" - Recommended for large greyhounds, large lurchers and other large sighthound breeds

Is this harness suitable for cross breeds and non-sighthound breeds?

Absolutely! The harness is really adjustable so you'll be able to get a perfect fit for cross breeds and non-sighthound breeds too!

In fact, we've had professional dog trainers recommend our harness for non-sighthound breeds as well, so you can be assured that it will work for you.

If you order it and feel that it's not quite right, you can return it for a full refund under our Satisfaction Guarantee.

Why are there no belly measurements?

You only need to measure your dogs chest for the perfect fit.

This harness is made specifically for sighthounds and we're confident in our measurements.

As long as you order the right chest size, you will be able to adjust the belly strap to fit perfectly.

My dog is between sizes, what do I do?

We recommend buying the larger size as our harness can be adjusted to below the recommended sizes. It will allow any growing room and make sure it isn't too tight and you can adjust it down to the right fit.

If you're really unsure, you can order both sizes and return one. Take care when handling the products and try on the one you think is right first. Our normal returns policy applies.

Which size do you recommend for each breed?

This is not an exhaustive list, and every dog is different, so we would still recommend measuring to make sure you order the right size, however, the below recommendations can be a good guide:

Whippet Harness - Small, or XS for smaller whippets

Greyhound Harness - Medium, or Large for bigger greyhounds

Lurcher Harness - Small, Medium or Large, lurchers really do come in all shapes and sizes :)

Italian Greyhound Harness - XS

Saluki Harness - Medium, or large for bigger salukis

Puppies - Likely an XS or Small, but we recommend measuring and being aware of how much they're likely to grow. If they're close to the next size up it may be worth ordering the larger size so that they can grow into it.

Can this sighthound harness be used with a coat?

Absolutely! Many owners choose to put the harness on over the coat and that works great and looks very trendy.

If you'd prefer it to go under the coat, you'll need to make sure that your coat has a harness hole in the right position. We're happy to recommend some!

Can my sighthound escape from this harness?

It is virtually impossible. Our sighthound escape proof harness features a unique three-strap design, including a secure third strap.

This third strap tucks behind the chest so that it physically cannot slide forward which makes it escape proof, perfect for houdini dogs.

Is this harness comfortable for extended wear?

Absolutely! The padded design, including the chest piece and belly straps, ensures optimal comfort, making it suitable for both short walks and longer adventures.

The perforated material helps keep your dog cool in summer months.

I'm worried my sighthound won't like wearing a harness?

That's understandable, especially if your sighthound hasn't worn a harness before, but let's put your mind at ease.

So far this hasn't been an issue with any of our customers.

Most are happy right from the get go, but some sighthounds can take a minute to warm up if it's different to what they're used to, but the harness is really comfortable and they'll soon forget that it's even on!

In the unlikely event that your dog is taking longer to adjust, we have this handy blog post to help out :)

How adjustable is this harness?

Our harness offers six points of adjustment, allowing you to customise the fit for your sighthound's unique body shape, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Does the harness restrict movement?

Not at all! The slim chest piece design allows for unrestricted movement, providing your sighthound with the freedom to walk, run, and play comfortably.

Will this harness rub my sighthound?

No, we've taken measures to ensure it won't rub your dog.

The chest piece is slim and the strap that goes underneath leaves plenty of room between the pits / arms. The chest strap is far enough back that this also won't rub the pits / arms, and you can adjust how far back this goes to ensure a comfortable fit.

We've also covered the buckles and padded the straps so these won't rub either.

Is it easy to put on and take off?

Absolutely! The harness is equipped with quick-release buckles, making it quick and effortless to put on and take off your sighthound.

Is this harness lightweight?

Yes! Despite being made from durable materials, the harness is still lightweight.

XS - 160g

Small - 215g

Medium - 296g

Large - 335g

Can I wash the harness?

Yes, the harness is machine washable for easy cleaning.

Can I use this harness in a car?

Yes you can, it is a perfect greyhound car harness, whippet car harness, and is also great for any other sighthound or non-sighthound breed.

We have dog car seat belts available here to use with this harness.

Are the handles durable?

Yes, the multi-function handles are designed to withstand regular use and provide you with optimal control during walks, no matter the situation.

What makes this harness safer than a collar?

Unlike collars that put strain on the neck, our harness distributes any force across the chest, reducing the risk of injury and providing a safer walking experience for your sighthound.

Is this harness suitable for a puppy?

Yes, it will make a great whippet puppy harness or greyhound puppy harness, or any other breed for that matter. It is really adjustable so it should allow plenty of growing room for your puppy too!

What sighthound breeds is this harness suitable for?

Our harness isn't just a trendy whippet harness, or just for greyhounds, is suitable for all sighthound breeds, including but not limited to, greyhounds, whippets, lurchers, italian greyhounds, salukis, galgos, podencos, wolfhounds, deerhounds, borzois, afghan hounds, cross breeds and more.

What is a 3 strap harness?

A 3 strap harness, also called a 3 point harness, is a harness with 3 'connection' points.

With a connection point on the front of the chest, around the chest and around the belly, ours is a 3 point harness, designed just for sighthounds.

The 3 strap design is considered to be a no escape harness, or an escape proof dog harness.

Is this an escape proof dog harness?

Yes, this is an escape proof dog harness. Thanks to the third strap, it is almost impossible for the harness to slip forwards, making it an anti escape harness / no escape harness / non slip dog harness / anti slip dog harness.

We also like to call it a houdini dog harness because it stops even the best escape artists in their tracks!
