Northumberland Greyhound Rescue - Health & Maintenance

http://northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk/health.html

Greyhounds do make wonderful pets, but it's important to bear a few simple ideas in mind. Most Greyhounds that leave our kennels are usually already neutered but occasionally this operation has to be carried out at a later date. However, if you receive one directly from a trainer, or another source that has not been neutered, we strongly recommend this be done as soon as possible so as to prevent future unwanted pregnancies/unwanted mating. This also prevents problems in later life. Check your Greyhounds...

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue - Heat & Cold

http://northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk/heatandcold.html

Greyhounds are particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures, as they only carry a small portion of fat on their bodies. This may be more obvious in the cold weather, but not so obvious in the heat. In the colder weather pop a coat on them to keep them warm. They could develop pneumonia should they become too cold. Coats should be big enough to cover from the neck to over the tail. It is best to feed earlier/later. If they don't eat much -. Don't worry unless there are other symptoms of illness. Sympt...

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue - Getting older

http://northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk/aging.html

Ageing is a genetic process and your dog ages at a much faster rate than you do. Dogs are classed as mature at 18 months. The life expectancy of a dog ranges from 8 to 16 years and varies according to state of health. There are some notable differences in the nutritional requirements of the older dog. Senior life stage diets take into account altered life styles, levels of activity and declining organ function. Your vet will be able to give you advice when changing from an adult to a senior diet. As acti...

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue - Babies & Children

http://northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk/children.html

It is essential that when introducing a canine into a home where babies and small children are present, special care is taken. There is no exception with a greyhound. Children and babies should never be left unattended with the dog. Children must be educated to be calm and gentle with the dog and have respect for its needs and its bed. An escape place is an excellent idea, so when the dog has had enough, it can retreat to its own space.

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue - Training

http://northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk/training.html

We can't guarantee a house-. Trained dog but most Greyhounds are clean in their kennels, and once they know where you want them to empty, they will be happy to stick with that routine. House training should begin as soon as your dog arrives home. Take them straight into the garden, wait until they relieve themselves and then reward them with a small piece of cheese or a dog biscuit. Mark over that spot. Take them to the toilet immediately after food, when they get up and before they go to bed and, of cou...
