Lightweight Greyhound Fleece Coat in Irish Check
Greyhounds have very little body fat and a thin coat, so they feel the cold far quicker than most dogs – especially during an Irish autumn or winter. Our Irish Check Greyhound Fleece Coat is a simple, lightweight layer that keeps your hound warm and comfortable without the bulk of a heavy walkout coat.
At just €15 it’s one of the best-value coats in our greyhound coats and fleeces range – which is why trainers and multi-dog owners often buy one for every dog in the kennel.
Why Owners Choose This Fleece
- Lightweight warmth – takes the edge off cold mornings and draughty kennels without overheating.
- Stitched neck – a sewn, closed neck that slips easily over your greyhound’s head and stays in place.
- Adjustable Velcro strap – fastens under the belly so the coat sits snugly on deep-chested breeds.
- Classic Irish check pattern – a traditional tartan look in warm yellow, brown and red tones.
- Great value – an affordable everyday or spare coat at €15 inc. Vat.
When to Use It
This fleece works well as a kennel coat for overnight warmth, a cosy layer around the house, or a cover-up before and after exercise or racing. For wet and windy walks, choose one of our waterproof walkout coats such as the Waterproof Red Wine Walkout Coat. For extra warmth, step up to the Double Padded Fleece.
Greyhound Coat Size Guide
Measure along your dog’s back from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail, then choose the nearest size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my greyhound for a coat?
Measure from the base of the neck, where the collar sits, along the spine to the base of the tail. That length in inches is your coat size.
Is this coat waterproof?
No – this is a fleece coat for warmth, not rain. For wet weather, choose one of our waterproof walkout coats.
Can a greyhound wear a fleece in the kennel overnight?
Yes. A lightweight fleece is a popular kennel coat for cold nights, as long as it fits well and your dog is checked regularly.
Will it fit a lurcher?
Larger lurchers usually suit the 26″ or 28″ size. Measure your dog’s back length to be sure, or send us a WhatsApp for advice.
How do I wash it?
Fleece is easy to care for – a gentle machine wash and air dry keeps it soft. Always check the care label first.
Do you deliver to the UK?
Yes. As a smaller item, this coat can be delivered across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK.
