8. Whippets have a short, smooth coat that needs an occasional bath. With their short coat, the Whippet is a somewhat frequent shedder that could definitely use a regular weekly brushing. Be careful of wearing dress slacks or suit jackets while petting these friendly companions — you'll need a lint brush!

For the most part Whippets need minimal grooming. Since they're short haired and single coated, shedding isn't as big a deal as it is for some dogs. A few minutes of gentle grooming each week is normally sufficient to reduce the amount of fur your Whippet sheds and should help keep its coat in tip-top condition.

Why is my Whippet shedding?
Whippets do shed, though not nearly as much as heavier coated dogs. They'll shed lightly during the year and undergo two seasonal sheds as well – once in the spring to lose the winter coat and a lighter shed in the fall to shed the summer coat. Compared to some other breeds, Whippets are super easy to care for.
