Hi folks! My partner and I are looking to start trimming Westleyās nails at home. As he gets older, he seems to handle things best when itās us doing them with lots of ācookiesā on handāand since weāre considering getting him a friend in the future, we thought it would be more cost effective to learn to trim them ourselves. Does anyone have recommendations for tools or tips on nail care for greys? Thanks a million! Pic of my guy Westley enjoying the spring weather included!!
My neighbor gave me a bag of ābeef collagen sticksā for Reese. Are these just another name for rawhide? If not, do we think they are greyhound safe?
I searched this subreddit and some greyhound fb groups Iām in and couldnāt find similar treats addressed in any of them, so thanks in advance for your wisdom!

Dipper got his own tag today and Brutus' tag (š otrb 6 months ago, tag temporarily on Dippers collar) made its way onto my keychain.
There's over 40 years of doggo rego traveling around with me everyday. A nice way to keep the memories together.
Hoping it's many years before I add another one....
This little girl has worked SO hard in the last two years; getting used to house living, supporting her big brother, learning to seek out her dad for hearing protection when Scary Noises happen, leaving the kitty be... We are so proud of her. We love you, Sitabel.
Hi all,
Looking for some advice about my 10 year old girl.
Last week, her left third eyelid was showing. It progressed to squinting. And something else was just... off. I couldn't put my finger on it.
I took her to the vet on Monday. They did bloods, the tear test and a test for corneal scratches. All came up negative (low thyroid but she's a grey so possibly normal). She has colouring to the whites of her eyes a la pannus, however she has had this for years and it's not progressed. The vet thinks she has a sensitive abdomen so she's been in a bland diet since then (rice and boiled chicken). Decreased appetite but still eating a bit. Ok poo with 1 x diarrhoea yesterday.
We left with antibacterial eye cream, twice daily (I'm at work and can't remember the name). I think her eye is slowly improving. But she herself isn't.
Her lethargy is now really obvious. Add to that she will just stand still. For minutes. The past two nights she has been restless. She'll bark for me to come downstairs (we all sleep in my bedroom upstairs) but when I go downstairs she just stands still. Last night she jumped on the bed to sleep with me but stood there for about 10 minutes not moving.
Yesterday in our walk she was the slowest I've seen. I made it a short walk. She did have a couple occasional skips/mini runs which confused me even more.
Doesn't seem to be in pain or have any other symptoms.
I'm leaving work early to take her to the vet for a follow up. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to what it might be?
Plants himself on the opposite end of the couch, then whines because I'm too far away and he's not getting cuddles.
My previous dogs have never liked water so it didn't occur to me that Ginger would. She beelines for any puddles at the dog park and will wade around. She's never been in water deep enough to swim but I'm super curious if she'd try. We got her a small pool for the backyard and she just stands in it. š This girl is always surprising us.
Hi all, I posted on here yesterday concerned about my boy Maverick (8m). I have a pretty promising update. After some coaxing he ate all of his dinner last night and ate his whole breakfast this morning. Iām guessing he just had a bug or something and heās finally starting to feel better. Thanks to all who replied to my original post :)
They "organised" my carrier bags.
Sadly I won't be getting a return credit on these.. haha
Hello following up on my previous post yesterday.. Firstly Iād like to apologise to anyone I have upset. Secondly I have done a lot of work in the past with others on the issue of miss treated dogs when it comes to racing. This is not all about the love of betting or watching animals race. In fact I donāt even ask people to pay for the tips I give them. Anyway to do with the post yesterday if anyone in Ireland or uk has any greyhound or abused dog from these types of things (racing fighting or anything else please message me with details so I could follow up on it and hopefully make a difference. Iām relation to the racing I can name and shake the tracks that are involved in this type of behaviour but there would not be enough of evidence to prove it. I donāt tip for these tracks and stay well away from them. There is very limited countries through out the world now that do greyhound racing and thankfully that is the case. There is not enough trainers with good knowledge of dogs and the ones that donāt then get theyr license and wing it. I was interested in setting up a course years ago in showing the correct handling and care of these dogs when it comes to this type of work but there wasnāt enough people interested. Hopefully ye can get some kind of understanding from yesterdays post that some of us are not only in it for money. If any of ye have any questions then please message Iām only happy to answer and didnāt mean to set anyone off.
