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!

Sniper ARP
Sniper is very handsome with kind eyes. He doesn’t understand how big he is sometimes and can be strong on lead. He is excitable and enthusiastic when you first meet him then calms down and is very sweet and friendly. Sniper may suit living with or without a robust canine friend that’s medium size or larger and children in their teenage years. He will likely do best in a home with a backyard so he can run and play in.
