Looking for feed recommendations in UK

Help needed please. My greyhound is 8, male, ex-racer, healthy but does disgusting poops that I gag when I have to pick up. (I live in a town so can't not pick it up and bin it) And the doggy flatulence is noxious! Does anyone have a recommendation for dog food brand / type in the UK that settles the sensitive greyhound stomach? I've used Harringtons and bakers superfoods because of the price, and I've tried raw frozen feed but the smell of that whilst I was preparing it was worse than his noxious wind !! It would be lovely if I could pick up a solid poop when on walks rather than the gross ice cream consistency. HELP haha

I recommend the canine creations bed from Costco

My 75 lbs greyhound has plenty of room in it and it's even comfy for humans too !

How to cook a noodle?

So my question is how all you cooking your noodles, and how long ?

My my method : He came on the bed , looking at the cover at least 3 minutes , trying to decide how he cook . Then he decides to crawl under the cover, then he just cooks until he feels ready … 😂😂😂

Adopted vs Raised from pups

Hello, going on 2 years dog-sitting my son's amazing rescue greyhound. Wow, what a dog! My wife and I are so completely hooked! We want to get our own greyhound, hopefully it would be just like this retired racer. But if I could change one thing, it would be to train the dog from early on so he/she minds better. Our adoptee obeys zero commands. Does anyone have any insight into whether or not greyhounds are more trainable if starting from puppy-hood? Someone told me that greyhound puppies are a problem. Any comments? Thanks!

Do you let your grey off leash?

I love the idea of my doggos frolicking on the beach or splashing along the shore of a lake, but I have always been told by my vet and rescue to never off leash them in an unfenced location.

I see so many happy videos and pictures of greys and whippets off leash at the ocean or in unfenced dog parks. They look so happy to be running and playing free, uninhibited. It makes me wonder:

  1. how many dog parents do this IRL?
  2. how they overcame the fear to try it?
  3. how they taught their dogs recall during a dash?
  4. what could I learn to make this a safe experience for my dogs?

Rescues Yorkshire

Hi! Me and my girlfriend are looking to adopt a retired racer within the next year and we were just wondering if there was anyone that could weigh in with their experiences with different organisations around England! We live in Leeds but don’t mind travelling within England for our baby but we are aware most rescues won’t rehome within a certain distance due to home checks. We’re currently looking at Makants and Sheffield Retired Greyhounds right now but wondered if anyone has any suggestions or could share their experience with their rescues!

Thank you, Olivia 🩷

On the naughty list. Regrets nothing.

Raising greyhound puppies is not for the weak. Poppy is the second GH pup we’ve raised, and the ninth pup total. We volunteer raise service dogs so nearly always have a puppy in our homes and Poppy is the one who will send us to an early grave. I’m the one who begged for her last February.
