A greyhound appreciates a brisk walk every day. They also enjoy a good run in a fenced area a couple of times a week. We recommend a fenced yard for your home but is not required. Weight ranges from fifty to ninety pounds, although most females are in the 55 to 65 pound range while males generally weigh between 65 and 75 pounds. The dogs stand 23 to 29 inches tall.
Many males are smaller, and many females are larger.
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 maintenance. This is not a problem if the proper procedures and recommended chemicals are used, particularly flea and tick remedies.
