Some greyhounds have a keen prey drive and will chase small animals, including cats. Some greyhounds are afraid of cats. After a period of educating and adjusting, the vast majority of greyhounds live peaceably with cats and even sleep with them. Most organizations offers advice on helping your greyhound adjust to your small pets. I have a toddler.
Greyhounds are much larger than infants, and even some youngsters up to the age of five.
As with any larger dog, small children must be supervised when with a large dog. In general, greyhounds are very tolerant, if the child is good with the greyhound, the greyhound will be good with the child. In most cases, yes, this work will be done before you take your dog home. It is far more cost-effective for you if the medical work is done with one of the recommended veterinarians before you adopt or immediately after you adopt. Always feel free to call your local Greyhound Adoption representative if you have any questions or comments.
