Special Nutritional Needs For The Greyhound
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.


Eager to please, not subject to boredom when the owner is away,
the Greyhound is a gentle giant can make the perfect pet.


It's coat and skin need little work except for
daily brushing and a well balanced diet with
good quality protein.


Brewers yeast treats can help ensure adequate protein
for strong muscle development and a healthy skin and
coat.


Carrots, celery, and other vegetables are other
treats of choice to keep your greyhound fashionably
trim.


Because of it's large size, bloat, cardiomyopathy, and
arthritis are the major diseases to look for and avoid.


The advantage of fresh meat, torula yeast, or wheat
germ is a heart saver, since they contain high quantities
of L-carnitine and taurine. Antioxidants are a must
for all greyhounds over 2 years of age to help
prevent or decrease pain and stiffness.
