Clever tips for a happy hound
Want to make life with your greyhound even smoother? Here are some clever tips to keep your hound happy!
The Double Bed Trick
Greyhounds LOVE to stretch out! If your hound is ignoring their bed, try placing two side by side for ultimate lounging luxury.
Sunbathing Safely
Greyhounds adore sunbaking, but their thin coats mean they can get sunburnt! A shady retreat and pet-safe sunscreen on exposed areas (like pink noses!) keep them comfy.
Toothbrushing Cheat Code
Not all greyhounds love a toothbrush! Try gauze wrapped around your finger with dog-safe toothpaste—it’s a gentle and effective alternative.
“Statue Mode” on Walks?
Some greyhounds freeze on walks—it’s their way of processing new sights! Instead of pulling, try turning in a small circle or using a happy voice to encourage movement.
“Slow Down, Buddy!”
If your greyhound eats too fast, pop a tennis ball in their bowl. It slows them down and makes mealtime more engaging!

Harris
Talk about a big softie! This lovely boy is such a sweetheart, he leans into you pats and looks up to you with his big eyes. He can be a little shy in new environments but soon bounces back to his joyful self! We think he may suit many households as long as there is a nice yard for him to relax and explore in.
Bobby
Bobby is a lovely young man, just look at his beautiful light-coloured eyes, they seem to stare into your soul. Bobby is a social, friendly and affectionate boy who is keen to move into his furever home. He may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10years and older.

Shiny
Meet Shiny, the sparkling gem of a greyhound who's sure to brighten up your life! This quiet and gentle soul is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves people and adores treats. Shiny's a laid-back companion who'll fit right into your daily routine, bringing joy and calm to your home. Shiny may be suited to a household with kids aged 5+ and for a home with either no other dogs or a male canine companion that gets along with her gentle nature. She also might be a great fit for elderly owners or apartment living,as she's low-maintenance and doesn't require a lot of space. And, surprisingly, Shiny might even live harmoniously with a cat! If you're ready for a loving and gentle companion, Shiny might be the perfect fit for your family.
Trixie
Trixie is full of tricks! Well not yet but we know she is a smart cookie that will pick up on things very quickly, maybe even get up to some mischief if she catches you napping on the job of Greyhound Servant! We think this beautiful, affectionate and sweet little girl may be ok for families with children 10 and over and another male canine companion of any size, she may even suit living with a feline friend! Go Trixie!
Ravioli
This delicious girl has her eyeliner on and is ready to hit the streets and show off her glamourous looks! Maybe even stopping for a bite to eat at your favourite Italian spot! Miss Ravioli is not only beautiful, she is sweet, kind and affectionate. She can be a little reserved at first but soon warms up and leans in for a cuddle. We think she may suit living with children10 and over and maybe even another medium or larger male canine for company. We also think she would be best off in a home that has a yard as she is still only young and can take her time to adjust to new environments.
Shell
This sweet little girl is Shell, and she is one that will need to come out of her “shell” a little when she goes into her forever home. But she will blossom as a sweet, puppyish girl that is excitable and bubbly when she is comfortable. We think she may suit living as an only dog or with another medium to large male canine companion and somewhere
