Do you understand that greyhounds have differing medical requirements for anesthesia and medication dosing than other breeds. It is important to make sure that your vet has prior greyhound experience, especially when putting a dog under anesthesia.

If your current vet is not greyhound savvy, we can help you find one near your home that is. 

Do you understand that during the average year of a large dog’s life, the cost could be upwards of $1000 for general preventative care, food, treats, toys, shots and dentals. This is not including any emergencies or unforeseen expenses.
