🐾 Breed Spotlight: The Greyhound 🐾
Sleek, sweet, and surprisingly snuggly! 💨💙
Known for their lightning speed, Greyhounds are gentle, intelligent, and calm companions who love lounging just as much as running.
✨ Fast Facts:
📏 Height: 27–30 inches
⚖️ Weight: 60–70 lbs
⏳ Lifespan: 10–14 years
💤 Nickname: "The 45-mph Couch Potato"
💡 Did You Know?
Despite their athletic build, Greyhounds are one of the least active large breeds. They enjoy short bursts of exercise and then long naps on the couch. 🛋️
🩺 Health Notes:
Greyhounds have very little body fat and thin skin, making them sensitive to cold and certain medications. A cozy bed (and maybe a sweater!) goes a long way.
🏡 Perfect For:
Quiet homes, gentle kids, and anyone who enjoys a calm, affectionate pet with a regal presence.
💚 Thinking about adopting? Many retired racing Greyhounds are looking for loving forever homes!
Interesting fact: Our Dr Alex Sadoski loves this breed and would love to see your Greyhounds here at Westview!
