Caring for a Greyhound

Health

Greyhounds are notably sensitive to anesthesia given their very low body fat — important to discuss with a vet before any surgery. The breed is also prone to bone cancer (osteosarcoma) and dental disease, and — as a deep-chested breed — carries bloat risk.

Nutrition

A quality diet in measured portions; the breed's naturally lean build (visible ribs and waist) is normal, not a sign of underfeeding.

Grooming

The short coat needs minimal brushing — a genuinely low-maintenance coat.

Training

Gentle and easy to live with; despite their racing reputation, most Greyhounds need only moderate daily exercise and enjoy long naps.

About the breed

An ancient sighthound built for exceptional speed, historically used for coursing game and, more recently, competitive racing.

Despite the athletic build, Greyhounds are famously gentle, calm housedogs — often described as 40-mph couch potatoes.
