Your Greyhound Needs To be Fed A Quality Pet Food

If you own or are considering owning a greyhound you need to be aware that they have very specific dietary requirements.It is believed that over 50% of behavioural problems with dogs is attributed to the additives in their food, the same as is often said of children.Greyhounds can be particularly affected by chemicals contained within their food, but this can go undetected by their owners.

Retired and rescued greyhounds should be fed a low protein complete Greyhound Food mix that is specially designed for retired and non-working dogs.Unless your greyhound is overweight, it does no harm to feed them as much as they want to eat at first.

Fish oils are good for the brain, skin, hair and joints and will produce a nice glossy coat and help to maintain bones in later years.If you think your dog’s food is lacking in oil you could try adding a spoonful of cod liver oil once per day to a bowl of food, or you can introduce fish into the diet as a snack.As with all pet food, if you feed a dry food product you need to also provide a dish of fresh water.

As dogs in the wild would have been forced to catch their food their bodies are good at digesting raw meat.Do not feed your dog poultry or pork.Please also remember dogs are omnivores and not carnivores. Feeding meat alone will cause malnutrition as will feeding vegetables and cereals alone.

By buying a specialist greyhound food you will be sure that your pet is getting the balanced diet he needs.
