Training My dog

If you own or are considering owning a greyhound you need to be aware that they have very specific dietary requirements.Just like we see in children, a dogs behaviour can be adversely affected by all the preservatives and additives packed in their food.Behavioural problems with greyhounds also generally lie within what they are fed so a good quality food with no artificial flavourings or preservatives and no genetically modified ingredients is essential.

If your dog is a retired or rescued greyhound then you should try and feed it a specialist, quality Greyhound Food.Greyhounds are generally active dogs, even if they are no longer racing. Do not worry so much about overfeeding unless your vet has advised that your greyhound is overweight.

Fish oils are good for the brain, skin, hair and joints and will produce a nice glossy coat and help to maintain bones in later years.To increase your greyhound’s oil levels you can always add a teaspoon of cod liver oil to one of their feeds. Or perhaps as a treat you could feed them an oily fish such as sardines or tuna (just check for bones first).Just remember that if you are feeding a dry pet food to any animal it should be served with a bowl of fresh water.

Dogs are able to digest raw meat easily, but don’t encourage it.If you are feeding raw meat make sure you never feed poultry or pork.Dogs need a balanced diet as they are not carnivorous. They need a mixture of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

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

Dr. Frick said that both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners have been putting out reminders that many viruses have the ability to pass between people and animals.

She always encourage to keep an eye on your pet’s health and communicate with your veterinarian if you suspect anything to be of concern. Nipping something in the bud rather than letting it progress and risk your pet being uncomfortable or even suffering is always the best thing to do.

Though canine influenza is more common in dogs than H1N1, it bears much serious threat. Canine influenza passes directly from one dog to another and has the unfortunate ability to spread quickly through anywhere there is a population of dogs like rescue organizations, kennels, or greyhound racing facilities.

Sometimes pneumonia is a fatal complication of canine influenza. Actually, it has been reported that its mortality is approximately 10%.

So far, H1N1 does not seem to be capable of passing among animals, however authorities are telling us that H1N1 can infect cats and maybe dogs. I am glad that I have had Bogie and Bacall under Dr. Frick’s care for several years and that we do everything possible to boost their immune systems through stress relief with Alpha-Stim treatment, and by providing them with multi-vitamins and a healthy diet.
