A one-stop shop for sighthounds bringing together a range of practical products for hounds that love Bella sadly passed away in 2019. Meg & Olive 🐾🐾
(1)
Bella my beautiful greyhound cross whippet, was found as a stray and covered in kennel sores when I adopted her. Unfortunately, her bald, raw tail needed to be partially amputated within days of taking her home. Whilst Bella was at the vets, the search for sighthound specific products and products to help improve her condition and support her health began; a wide collar, a slim fit coat, memory be
dding, gentle grooming products, supplements, the list went on. With some quality ingredients and a little TLC Bella’s sores healed in no time. By the following summer, her new sleek, soft coat had improved so much she snapped up 1st place in the 'best condition' class at our local fun dog show. With my faithful friend by my side, the idea of Pointy Faces was born; a shop where essential sighthound specific products could be purchased in one place. Together, Bella and I tried and tested hundreds of products to carefully curate Pointy Faces range. This means our customers can purchase with the reassurance that they've been sourced, tried and tested with quality and practicality in mind. Pointy Faces aim is simple, to bring together a range of practical products for hounds that love their comfort. With space on the sofa and love to give, Olive was in need of a forever home. Olive had never lived in a house before and was a rather nervous little lurcher. With some time and reassurance, she quickly became the most affectionate and playful pup. She’s taken to the role of chief treat taster and office dog with heart-warming enthusiasm and flair. Olive and I continue to source and bring our customers products that we enjoy, not only from a place of personal experience but also of love for hounds. Thank you for visiting our page.

Customers often ask us to point them in the direction of a lightweight raincoat for those warmer wet days, as we are experiencing this summer.
The Sighthound Basic Raincoat LIGHT is the most lightweight of our coats with a breathable mesh lining. In fact, it is the most lightweight raincoat we have ever trialled! They are the perfect blend of functionality and style, providing your dog with protection during warmer rainy days.
The Sighthound Basic Raincoat LIGHT is now available in two new colours Caribbean Blue and Mocha as well as the classics Camel and Black.

Our Story
Bella my beautiful greyhound cross whippet, was found as a stray and covered in kennel sores when I first adopted her. Unfortunately, her bald, raw tail needed to be partially amputated within the first week of taking her home. Whilst Bella was at the vets the search for sighthound specific products began; soft, thermal bedding, a wide collar, a slim fit coat, natural and nutritious treats. The list went on.
I found it particularly difficult to find products for her sore skin and was worried about washing her with conventional dog shampoo. Having worked at an organic skin care company, I decided to set about making my own. With some quality ingredients, memory bedding and a little TLC her sores healed in no time.
Friends and family soon started to comment on Bella’s new sleek, soft fur and to my delight began using my handmade products on their own dogs. By the following summer Bella had improved so much that she snapped up 1st place in the 'best condition' class at our local fun dog show.
Starting with a range of organic dog grooming products, I soon decided it would be great to be able to purchase all the essentials in one place with the reassurance that they've been sourced, made, tried and tested with quality and practicality in mind. I am also delighted that a large amount of my products are handmade in the UK, organic, natural and eco-friendly. All of which have been specially selected to help keep your pointy faced friend happy and healthy.
Bella sadly passed away in March 2019. With space on the sofa and love to give, Olive was in need of a forever home. Olive had never lived in a house before and was a rather nervous little lurcher. With some time and reassurance, she quickly become the most affectionate and playful pup. She’s taken to the role of chief treat taster and office dog with heart-warming enthusiasm and flair.
