When bringing your newly adopted greyhound home, remember that they have unique physical builds with very little body fat so they will appreciate a soft plush bed and a cozy sweater during chilly weather.

Vet-Authored Tip
A
By Dr. Sarah Jenkins, DVM

Adopting an ex racing greyhound is a wonderfully rewarding experience, but it is important to understand their unique physiological traits. Greyhounds have very low body fat and thin skin, making them exceptionally sensitive to cold temperatures and anesthesia. As your veterinarian, I always recommend scheduling a comprehensive wellness exam shortly after adoption to establish a baseline health profile, discuss parasite prevention, and evaluate their dental health.
