Buying Specialist Greyhound Food

If you own or are considering owning a greyhound you need to be aware that they have very specific dietary requirements.Presevatives and additives are added to many mass market dog foods, and just like we see in children, these “hidden extras” can have a negative effect on any dog’s behaviour.Greyhounds can be particularly affected by chemicals contained within their food, but this can go undetected by their owners.

If your dog is a retired or rescued greyhound then you should try and feed it a specialist, quality Greyhound Food.Greyhounds are not greedy by nature, so if you feed your dog a specialist food you don’t need to be too worried about excessive feeding.

Bear in mind that ingredients such as fish oils are great for helping to maintain healthy skin, bones and eyes. Look out for such ingredients when you are next shopping for your greyhound’s food.If the dog food you have purchased does not include fish oils why not try adding a tea spoon of cod liver oil to one of your greyhounds meals. Sardines are also packed full of healthy oils and providing they do not contain bones are a great snack for your dog.As with all pet food, if you feed a dry food product you need to also provide a dish of fresh water.

A dog’s digestive system can cope with raw meat easily, it is what they would eat if they had to catch their own dinner.You should avoid feeding raw pork or poultry as these meats can contain bacteria.As dogs are not carnivores (they are actually omnivores) you need to ensure that you feed a good mix of carbs, proteins and fats.

Ideally, stick to a quality, specialist pet food as this will contain all the meat your greyhound requires.
