...About Greyhound Medical Issues

Greyhounds, as a breed, are healthy. As more greyhounds get adopted, greyhound lovers, and their vets, continue to learn about them. Those of us loving greyhounds, learn and share information with each other and our vets. I've learned to get information from other greyhound lovers, (Greyhound List is one place. Greytalk is another) and from the internet, and present that information to my vets. Yes, I have more than one vet. I have one wonderful holistic vet, and two or three traditional vets. Between them all we've solved most of my greyhound's issues. In my opinion, the more opinions you have, the more chance at finding the right answer.

Now don't let this list daunt you. Certainly, most greyhounds don't have these issues. However, many vets are not that familiar with greyhounds, so this information is here, just in case. We offer a booklet of Dr. Stack's most excellent articles - Dr. Stack the Deck for Greyt Health to bring to your vet. It's only $4.

...About Greyhound Behavioral Issues

They are perfect dogs, and so have very little issues. Greyhound Gang has a booklet, "Why Does my Hound do THAT?" for only $2 that addresses some of the idiosyncratic behaviors are loved hounds display. If you love greyhounds, you'll find this information and entertaining. I'll be talking about this at Sandy Paws in March, and Kanab in May.

Some 'only' hounds show: Separation Anxiety

Through genetics, and poor handling, some hounds are: SHY
Greyhound Gang also has a booklet - "Shy Greyhounds Steal Your Heart" for only $1
