    As Remolacha said, I assume you are thinking of using it with your new pup. Most greyhound adoption groups do not recommend them for greys. Greys can get up to speed so quickly & it's too easy to cause harm to their neck when they, quite literally, reach the end of their rope. They also do not provide a secure grip (IMHO). If the dog were to be spooked & rips the end out of your hands, the dog is now running and being "chased" by a flopping, flailing noisy piece of plastic. A very dangerous situation for any dog. Personally, I can't stand them. Wish they would be outlawed. Most people I've encountered with them are not paying attention to their dog. Again, like Remolacha said, not saying "you" would do any of this.

    How Do You Serve Your Greys' Kibble?

    Does anyone add coconut oil? What do you do with it? (Do you melt it, mix it in?)

     

    In the summer months I keep mine in the garage, so it's always in a liquid state (it melts at 76 degrees, I believe). Drizzle a tablespoon over the kibble, stir it up & add water. In the winter, I mash it up with a tablespoon of canned food or I'll put a tablespoon in their bowl & then float the bowl in some hot water in the sink to melt it while I take them for their morning walk. Add water, kibble, stir & serve.

     

    They also get a tablespoon of goat yogurt.
