You might also try probiotics. I use Culturelle. It is dairy free. Also, he eats Dick Van Patton's Bison and Sweet Potato. The only treat I give him is Sams Yams from the Front Porch. It is 100% sweet potato..no additives.
-
I use Confortis for fleas and Adams (water base) for biting flies and sand gnats.

On walks I have to carry a spray water bottle for my grey. He is very protective of me especially with men, including ones he sees in the neighborhood all of the time. He is 82 lbs and only been off the track for 5 months so is in great shape and could do some really bad damage.

Put a large t-shirt on the dog. May have to cut the neck opening down into the chest for size. Also, Foster and Smith make an "Ultra Calming" tablet. I give my dog (82 lbs.) two of them.

My grey also bent the crate. They have powerful jaws!!! I just leave him out and close all bedroom and bathroom doors. He has never bothered anything except his raised feeder..He has about destroyed it. I also take his collar off of him because I do not want him getting it tangled on something and choking himself. Good luck.

I have read really good things about Greyhound/Corn and Callus Cream. Here is the web site: www.MurrayAvenueRx.com

Storm Defender cape did not work for my grey. T-shirt worked much better. I had to cut it from the neck to the middle of the chest to get it large enough for him..Not pretty, but who cares? I also use the "Ultra Calm" pills from Foster and Smith...Dee told me about all of this..

Yep, totally normal, at least it is for my hound. I vac. and mop everyday, but there is always a bunch of hair on the floor.

When I first got him, he would only sleep in his crate, his idea. After a few weeks he would only sleep in my room, his idea (with baby gate). After a while I removed the baby gate. He has since moved to the living room, his idea. Sometimes he will wonder from the living room to my room. He leaves everything alone, so I really do not care where he sleeps. I have since removed the crate and will put it in the atic when the weather stops being 100F.

Sorry folks, this topic probably does not belong here, but did not know where else to put it. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with the dog septic tanks like they sell at Foster and Smith? Thanks so much.

My dog appears to have hookworms about every month. He is on Heartguard Plus and I think that knocks them down, but I need to know what I can put in the yard (grass) to kill them. I pick up after him, but there is always a residue left in the grass. The computer is no help for anything that will kill the eggs or larva.
-
Is it OK to use those little cooling bands with the pellets in them around the dog's neck? If so, do you wet then and freeze them before using them? I used them when I p;ayed golf and they seemed to work about 2 minutes, but I do not know what the little pellets are made from.
-
Is it normal for greyhounds to have fluid (water?) dripping from their noses just about all of the time? He is under no stress that I know of.

My vet said to give one Culturelle probiotic per day. I bought it at Publix for about $20 for 30 days. It is for human use, but she said to give it to him. I just started about 6 days ago.
-
I have been using Confortis since I adopted him from Fla. He was on it there also. I have not had any problems with fleas. I give him Confortis one day and his Heartguard Plus the next. Confortis costs $73.99 at Foster and Smith and my vet said she would match their price. He weights 82 lbs and that price is for his weight group.
-
Adams Flea spray-water base..you can get it at Walmart. I don't need it everyday as it stays on their coats..It also fights gnats and flies.
-
Do try changing his food as there may be something wrong with his current bag of kibble that only he would know.
-
Thanks Dee and everyone else. I ordered booties from The Voyagers and hopefully will get them this week. It really makes me mad as the owner told me that being a greyhound he should have tough paws..Told her that he had raced on sand and that his feet were about as tough as a baby's bottom...Guess I will need to find another boarding place. Thanks os much for the information!!
-
I picked up Da Vid from a new pet lodge today and he is limping. It looks like they let him run for a long time on a "agility mat"..what ever that is and his paw pad is really messed up. Half of it is gone.. it is not bleeding right now. I have Bag Balm, pads and vet tape. Should I just leave it alone or doctor it up for tonight?? What about for walks tomorrow? Thanks so much for the information.

My dog hates the pill pockets, but loves cheese..I just take a Kraft single and put the pill in the middle of it and smush the cheese around it..He does not chew it at all, just swallows whole!
-
My dog came from the adoption group with VERY loose stools. Took him to the vet and spent way too much money to find nothing wrong. Switched his food to Dick Van Pattens Bison and Potato..his stomach problems cleared up in days..His stomach also growled like he was hungry, but it was all of that meal and by-products fermenting from his substandard food..Your vet will probably try to put him on Science Diet,. just remember they helped pay his way through vet school and he must stock their food.
-
I have somewhat of the same problem. My adoption kennel said to use a squirt bottle of water, rolled up newspaper and muzzell (I am a terrible speller).
-
I am also very sorry for the death of your greyhound. This is why I will never allow mine on a lure course.

Thank you so much for the information. Where do I buy Gentian?
Allergy Wipes

My grey is allergic to grass and pollen. The vet said to wash his feet twice a day with soap/water. I am trying to find an easier way to do this so I ordered Earth Bath Grooming Wipes from the Natural Dog Shop. Does anyone know anything about allergy wipes? Do they work as well as soap/water? Thanks, Nan in Georgia
