About Us
The Smart Dog Company Owner Kim & her Whippets

The Smart Dog Company is a small business based in Yorkshire.
My business came about when I adopted a rescue whippet who had been very badly treated.
I needed to make him a coat and something to keep him warm at night and as a very keen dress maker and crafts person I set to work.

I adopted my first rescue whippet Tommy over 12 years ago and then my second whippet Archie 8 years ago. Poor Tommy had come from a bad situation and so needed lots of TLC which he had from day one and he was such a beautiful boy. I put one of my old fleece jackets on him when he was a little cold and that is how I started my company by making him a coat and the business has just grown.

I have to say I have the best job in the world and whippets are my passion through and through. I have since lost both Tommy and Archie and both missed so very much.

I now have Ronnie who I have had from a pup and Wills, Ronnie’s daddy who came to live with us last year 2022 and he has settled well. So my career continues along with my whippets.

I design and provide handmade high quality coats for all seasons, house and martingale collars, Leather hound collars & leads, fleece jumpers and Pj’s – Onesies & hand knitted Aran Jumpers.

I pride myself on the quality of my products and my customer service.
