This is usually a gain of 5 to 7 pounds. Initially, you will want to feed you greyhound 6 to 8 cups daily- half at breakfast, and half at dinner. We recommend using a dry food covered with water, as canned foods are too rich for a greyhound. As your dog begins to add weight and eats less 4 to 6 cups daily should do for weight maintenace. For general checkups and shots, your family vet will need to know some important things about greyhounds.
Greyhounds have a sensitivity to certain types of anesthesia and internal flea medications.
It is important that your vet check with your Greyhound Pets representative if they need further information. Greyhounds are not plagued by confimation diseases such as hip displasia. If given good care, your greyhound can live 12 - 15 years, a delightfully long life for you and your family. You must have a fully fenced in yard for your greyhound. Greyhounds can never be trusted off leash.
