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!
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Lee

How handsome is this young chap! Mr Lee here is a stunning, sleek, shiny boy that is just as sweet as he is handsome. Lee is still a young one getting to know the ropes so he can be a bit silly and on the go but he does sometimes step back and take it all in. He can be a little shy in new situations but soon forgets what he was worried about and is back to his usual playful self. We think Lee may suit living with children 10+ and maybe another medium or larger companion. He has requested a backyard though please as he wants to show you his epic zoomies and play till its nap time!
