Best Dog Collars for Whippets
Here are our reviews for the best dog collars for whippets.
1. Max and Neo Nylon Martingale Collar
Martingale collars are designed differently from other collars; they will tighten up as a dog pulls on the leash, rather than the dog putting forward force on his neck. Martingale collars are also great for using during training, as dogs will correct themselves quicker than with a regular collar. Some dog rescues will only use Martingale-style collars exclusively.
- For every collar sold, they donate one to a dog rescue in the U.S.A.
- Reflective stitching
- Locking buckle prevents accidental release
2. Real Leather Extra Wide Padded Tapered Dog Collar
The extra wide collar from Dogs My Love is great for breeds such as the whippet, and other breeds with similar head and neck shapes as it prevents neck damage due to the shape. In addition to preventing neck damage, the shape of this collar also prevents your dog from choking if they decide to take off at a run. The 100% genuine leather veneer is soft and comfortable against your dogs’ skin.
- Available in 6 sizes and 5 colors
- Solid nickel-plated hardware
- Perfect for everyday use

Whippet Dog Collar Buyer’s Guide
Our buying guide reviews the best dog collars for your whippet.
Materials
The main material in collars are usually made of polyester, nylon, or leather. The main difference for materials comes in the hardware, such as the buckles, rings, and sliders. Here we have seen steel, plastic, and aluminum as differences. In addition to the main components, some collars will have reflective stitching.
Types
There are several different collar types, many we didn’t even look at here, for different behavioral problems, training or just due to the breed being extremely large or extremely small. We showcased everyday collars which would be good for whippets and their unique head and neck shape. Whippets are known to take off after small animals, so having a collar that will prevent them from choking, or escaping, is essential.
Sizing
Each collar comes in different sizes, and each one of those sizes are adjustable to help with the perfect fit. The biggest size difference is in the width, especially with whippets. Puppies generally need a smaller, lightweight collar, as the standard 1” tends to be too big and too heavy for them.
