A while ago I asked for advice for our greyhound, Jet, as she is a strong chewer but gives up on chew treats when she doesn't make immediate progress.

After trialling a few, thought I'd do a review in case it helps others.

Best: Good Boy Large Chewy Braid - Jet got an early win by breaking a piece off so she kept going. The chew lasted over an hour and she seemed to entertain herself by breaking it into its different colours.

Runner up: Good Boy Mega Chicken Twist Dog Treat - lasted 30 mins, excellent runner up.

Too difficult: Hollings Smoked Shank - Jet chose this one herself at the pet store, no interest once home.

Interested but doesn't chew: Good Boy Large Knotted Bone Beef - Jet likes it enough that she keeps it. Only gave it a minor nibble. I partly cut it to show her it was edible. Interest was renewed but not as a chew toy.

Zero interest: Canophera Dog Chew Stick Coffee Wood - Jet doesn't even know it's a chew.

Maybe for other dogs: Yakers Dog Chew (original) - Jet showed no interest. We tried microwaving it as per the instructions. She hated the smell. Might try another flavour.

Too easy: Pedigree DentaStix Daily Dental Chews Large - lasts less than five minutes.

Bonus Jet photo where she didn't get people food but wasn't going to totally give up.

.5 camera + greyhounds is a hilarious mix 😂

Just noticed this little bubble on my hound’s torso. She is behaving fine and the bubble is not bothering her at all. She is a healthy 9 year old. What’s y’all’s opinion on this?

When you’re a star and the paparazzi just won’t quit 😏

Hello, I need some advice/suggestions from some more experienced greyhound owners.

I have an 11 year old large male - long body, was 37kg when he was younger - with arthritis in his back and hips. Still loving life, is getting great medical care, and still wants to come out on walks with his family. But getting him in and out of the car is becoming a problem. I need to look at portable steps or a ramp. Had anyone got some suggestions for a dog this size?

He has never been good with stairs due to his length, we even had to alter the steps at the back door when we got him as they were too steep for him. We can’t pick him up, he will warn you to back off if you try. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

We are in UK.

My darling baby has crossed the rainbow bridge. 3 weeks ago Maggie passed away and I just don't know how to cope. It was only 3 weeks after we 'foster failed'. We knew she was sick but had no idea we would have such little time left. I am traumatised and riddled with guilt. I can't help but thinking of all the things I could have done to magically fix everything and save her. The day she passed away we gave her an early birthday. She had such a beautiful day, spent time at her favourite park, opened presents, played with new toys, had a special birthday cookie and had steak for dinner. She did a zoomie outside which she hadn't done in a long time. She had the perfect day. And then everything went down hill and I just can't stop replaying it in my mind. I want my baby back. This pain is just horrifying and I would give anything to have her back.

Dave (pictured) has been with us for two weeks, became attached to us all very quickly (and us to him) and our only issue has been separation anxiety. The days are improving with some gradual increases in absence - we’re at 2.5 hours now and he’s doing great - but at night we still have an issue I’m not sure how to solve. He spent the first couple of nights in our bedroom for comfort. We moved his bed in at night from its usual spot in the adjacent living room. Now we leave the bed where it is, and he eventually goes back to it himself after we are asleep, but he won’t let us say goodnight and shut the door, preferring to sleep on the floor until for whatever reason he decides it’s time to return to his, far more comfortable, bed. If we ask him to ‘stay’ and shut the door he follows as soon as it’s shut starts crying and banging (it’s a loosely hung sliding door in the wall cavity - very bangable) and will keep this up, working himself up into a terrible state so we crack and let him in before he hurts himself. Longest we’ve held out has been about 45 minutes before caving. My partner is low level allergic to pet dander and so Dave’s not allowed on the bed and we hoped to keep our bedroom ‘Dave-free’. He can sleep on my sons bed, my armchair… it’s all up for grabs except for one couch and our bed so my partner has a couple of relatively dander-free zones. Currently, after a last trip to the backyard, I’m trying leaving a radio on, giving him something to nibble and chew, covering him in a blanket and rubbing his ears a little until he’s snoozy and then saying goodnight and asking him to stay but he’s coming after me as soon as the door is shutting. I’ve tried a coldly detached departure and also tried sneaking away once he’s snoring but the banging and crying starts soon after. I know it’s early days and but does anyone have any ideas how I can best help him adjust to solitary bedtime?

Hi everyone, we have two lovely hounds, and we're expecting a baby in March. We'd love to hear stories and advice from folks who introduced a baby.

We'll take advice about anything, big or small, about sleeping arrangements, additional training, anything.

To add to the mix, we're told our boy, who we've had for two years, was previously reactive to baby crying. We've played tapes of crying babies for him and have gotten no reaction, and he's always been lovely with kids, but if there's anything else we could be doing now, I'm all ears. (Edit: Just to clarify, he was apparently more scared or upset to the sound of crying, not prey driven).

Thanks folks.

Troop Troop is ready for the chilly weather! It’s so hard to find clothes that will fit his big hulk shoulders 😂

We recently moved to a location where our greyhound can finally run his heart out on some grassy fields, but he's been tracking a lot of mud into the house when he does. We have been cleaning his paws with pet-safe wetwipes. Fortunately, he's very tolerant but the waste is getting a bit ridiculous - sometimes we need one or two wetwipes for each paw. We tried an old towel but it just doesnt get the dirt off.

Any handy / cheaper-in-the-long-run tips for this?

When moving is too much effort but you need some fuss.

What medications does anyone recommend for a Greyhound’s seasonal allergies?

Hi everyone! I’ve had greyhounds at my family home for about 10 years, we currently have three and a whippet. We’ve always been leaving them alone for around 4 hours max but I’m moving out soon and want to get a greyhound myself. I work around 8 hours 5 days a week. 5pm-midnight wed-Sat then 11am-5pm on Sundays. Does anyone have experience leaving their dogs at home for this length of time? I don’t want to stress a pup out! Thank you and here is my old man as a thank you :)
