Care Guide

Greyhound Care Requirements

Understanding your gentle athlete's unique needs

Exercise Needs

Moderate

20-30 minute walks daily, occasional sprints in secure areas

Minimal

Weekly brushing, occasional baths, regular nail trims

Training Difficulty

Moderate

Sensitive nature requires positive reinforcement, independent thinkers

Preventive Care

  • Find sighthound-experienced veterinarian
