The Whippet, much like his big brother, the Greyhound is a calm and mild-mannered dog breed with a reasonably lazy attitude towards life, interspersed with moments of utter energy.
A medium-sized pooch, the Whippet is the fastest dog breed of his size, able to run at speeds of up to thirty-five miles per hour, but most of the time he’d far rather be hanging out with his human.

5. Milliard Memory Foam
Features
- Comfort- The Milliard 4" Dog Bed offers the perfect combination of support and luxe comfort by combining a sturdy foam base with a luxe memory foam layer.
- Quality- Made from durable materials and superior workmanship for a longer lasting bed.
- Convenience- The washable cover zips off and goes in the washing machine for easy care.
- Tested- The rubber grips on the underside of the cover are non-slip, and all our foam is certified by CertiPUR to be low VOC and free of heavy metals.
- Size- The medium dog bed measures 34in.x22in.x4in.
This Milliard dog bed is perfect for use in crates, or simply if you want a more classic dog bed that doesn’t take up a bunch of room.
The cover is made from antimicrobial waterproof fabric and is also machine washable, having said that – when washing the non-slip dots on the base of the bed, of which there seem to be hundreds of the tiny little things, come loose and get absolutely everywhere.
Relieve your Whippets aching joints after a long hike, or a fun-filled day of playing fetch at the park with this orthopedic memory foam bed!
The cover is hailed as being waterproof thanks to a super-duper TPU coating, however, I’d say it’s more water-resistant.
Either that or the waterproof effect wears away a touch with washing.
The Milliard comes in multiple sizes, with small, medium, large, and extra-large – we’d recommend the medium size for the average-sized Whippet!
Pros
- Antimicrobial waterproof cover
- Non-slip base
- Machine-wash safe
- Great support with memory foam base
- Perfect for use in a crate
Cons
- Anti-slip dots fall off over time
- The cover isn’t the strongest fabric
- Mattress breaks apart with use
- More water-resistant than waterproof
- Zipper isn’t strong enough
