Caring
for
Greyhounds |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
How old are retired racing greyhounds? The age of greyhounds seeking adoption will vary, with the majority being between 2 to 6 yrs of age. Younger dogs generally were not suitable for racing and older dogs may have been recently retired because they are no longer competitive. Do Greyhounds Require A Lot Of Exercise? Greyhounds always enjoy going out for a walk and having the chance to explore new places, but they do not require daily exercise. Once you own a greyhound of your own you will realize that they spend most of the day ‘napping’ and actually require less exercise than most breeds of dogs. Therefore, a large yard is not a requirement for owning a greyhound. Do Greyhounds Need A Special Diet? Whilst racing, greyhounds are fed a high-energy diet that helps them
perform at their peak. As a house pet a greyhound can be fed as per
any large breed dog and do not have any special diet requirements.
Do Greyhounds Have Any Special Medical Needs? Greyhounds have a low level of body fat and high muscle mass, therefore
they are sensitive to anesthesia. Be certain that your chosen Veterinarian
is familiar with greyhounds before you visit. We have a list of Veterinarians
with greyhound experience if you so require. Other than this there
is no difference between a greyhounds veterinary needs to that of another
breed of dog. |
