Italian Greyhounds, or "Iggys," may have the elegance of a supermodel, but their thin coats and sensitive skin make them especially vulnerable to the sun. That’s why UV-blocking tops aren’t just stylish—they’re essential.
Italian Greyhounds have minimal fur and light-colored, sensitive skin. Just like humans, too much sun can lead to painful sunburns. Our UPF-rated fabrics block over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, giving your Iggy full-body protection during walks, beach days, or lounging in the yard.
UV exposure adds up over time. Prolonged sun can increase the risk of skin conditions and even skin cancer in dogs. Consistently using UV-protective clothing is one of the easiest ways to reduce that risk, especially for hairless or short-haired breeds like Iggys.
Our UV tops are made with lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking materials that help regulate body temperature. So while your pup stays covered, they’re also staying cool—unlike heavy or hot garments that might cause overheating.
Finally, measure the leg length This is particularly important for sleeved tops and full-body outfits. Start just at the top of the back between the shoulder blades and measure down to the ankle.
Let’s face it—Italian Greyhounds look fabulous in fitted fashion. Our UV tops come in a variety of colors and designs that elevate your dog’s summer wardrobe. Whether you’re going for glam, minimalist, or playful, there’s a UV look for every pup personality.
