Greyhound requires 1.5 to 2 cups of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. This will depend on your dog's size, weight, age, metabolism, and activity level. Consult your veterinarian or a dog nutritionist to determine the proper nutritional balance for your pet at each stage of its life. Always provide them with clean, fresh water at all times.
Greyhounds have a short and thin coat that sheds minimally. However, because of their fine hair, they are also very easy to groom.
Brush them once a day to keep shedding to a minimum. They will enjoy being massaged with a hound mitt, also known as a rubber curry brush. Weekly brushing helps reduce the amount of hair in your home, and it keeps their plush coat healthy.
Grooming them would only take you a few minutes each week. Brush them weekly with a rubber grooming mitt or a brush with short, natural bristles.
A fine-toothed flea comb helps remove loose or dead hair. Their undercoat may come out in little thuds. Regular brushing will help keep shedding under control. With regular brushing, they shouldn?t need a bath more than every month or two.
Ears are an important area to check when you are grooming them, so if you smell an odour or see wax, clean the inner ear with a cotton ball, using a cleanser recommended by your veterinarian.
Your careful weekly assessment will help you recognise potential health problems shortly.
Greyhounds require at least one hour of exercise each day. Although backyard exercise is fine, daily walks provide them more mental and physical stimulation for your dog and aid in the development of a trusting relationship between you and your new pet. They will happily go on walks with their owner and also performs well in a number of canine sports, but they are just as glad to stay on the sofa all day.
Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout all life stages. In these annual visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature and check their heartbeat, among other things.
Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.
Greyhounds are gentle, low-key, and affectionate creatures. They make wonderful house pets. Greyhounds are intelligent, sweet, calm, gentle, and loving when it comes to children and adults.
Like most breeds, they will need proper and early socialization training because some have little to no experience with children. However, their cool temperament makes them attractive and fun for the family.
Greyhounds are a sensitive breed that does not tolerate punishment well. They do not respond well to traditional obedience training and, if not respected, will prefer instincts to train. Strong words and harsh treatment will only make them disregard their handlers. They are highly intelligent dogs, and they learn quickly. Avoid repeating things they already know.
Greyhounds have spent their entire lives with other dogs, so they enjoy the company of other dogs. Like all sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase.
But they can get along well with other pets as long as enough time is spent on socialization and training. Because they are gentle and docile by nature, they do well in homes with other non-aggressive pets.
