Whippet – Recommended Dog Pod SizeUpdated 2 days ago

Size Category: Medium
Weight Range: 11–15 kg
Build/Body Type: Slim, long-limbed, fine-boned, with a naturally curled resting posture. Sensitive to cold; prefers enclosed, cushioned spaces.


Many Whippets comfortably use the Original Travel Dog Pod, especially for car journeys.
Their slim frame and natural curled-up posture make the Original a supportive and secure option that meets their instinctive need for warmth and enclosure.

That said, if your Whippet is a larger male, stretches out often, or prefers room to shift positions, the XL Pet Pod may be a better overall fit — particularly for longer drives or dual-purpose use at home.


🐶 Multi-Dog Capacity

Whippets should not share a Pod.
Their long legs and curved spine require full individual space to remain comfortable and avoid feeling crowded.

Each Pod includes two built-in safety leashes, which is helpful if you’re ever traveling with a second small dog.


👀 Breed-Specific Tips

Whippets are sensitive travelers who love warmth, structure, and soft cushioning.
The Pod’s enclosed shape and padded interior help them settle quickly and feel secure while the vehicle is in motion.

Adding a light blanket is especially helpful for Whippets, who tend to get cold easily.


💡 Alternative Options

  • Original Pod: Best for small-to-average Whippets who curl tightly.

  • XL Pet Pod: Best for larger Whippets, sprawlers, or those using the Pod for extended periods.
