Thanks, this is great advice and I won’t buy a fancy bed at this stage, just provide lots of options and follow the greyhound’s lead. The kennels we are getting him from are very supportive and we have someone we can contact with any questions - even in the middle of the night she said! Hoping we won’t have to do that. We’re sticking with the same food as the kennels for our initial month’s trial, but will check out the greyhound trust link - it looks like a great idea. I can’t quite believe you say “a year or more”! But it’s good to know how long it takes for a retired greyhound to truly settle to being a pet. And it reminds me of when my first daughter was about four weeks old and someone said to me “don’t worry, the first 21 years are the hardest”!!! Haha! We didn’t kill the kids, so hopefully we’ll manage and enjoy the greyhound too 🤞
