To give the coat an added gleam, the owner can rub it with a chamois cloth from time to time. Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, loyal, and brave animals. They are very obedient, are good with children, and make good watchdogs. Their hunting background has instilled a strong desire to chase things however and it is wise to keep them on a leash when in a public place. These dogs are fairly easy to train if a gentle approach is used.
Greyhounds form strong bonds with their owners and make wonderful family pets.
These dogs do well living in urban environments but do require moderate exercise on a regular basis. They are basically in active indoors but enjoy walking and running outside. Greyhounds may be prone to bloating and sensitivity to drugs and insecticides. They have thin skin that is very sensitive and tears easily so you may want to check with a veterinarian before using flea-killing products on your pet. They may also be allergic to certain anesthetics.
