Greyhound’s athleticism and agility comes with their smooth, muscular body. Its short coat makes it easier to maintain than other breeds. However, since they carry almost no body fat, they have an increased risk of blood pressure and circulation problems. For this reason, it is important that owners provide their greyhounds with soft beds and resting areas.
Short-haired greyhounds are particularly more sensitive to the cold. Owners must pay careful attention to their greyhound's body temperature and ensure that they do not have drastic drops during winter or fluctuating temperatures in Autumn and Spring. In the colder months, it is essential for greyhounds to wear clothes during walks and outdoor activities. However, the unique shape of their bodies makes finding clothing for greyhounds difficult.
So, what should we look out for before dressing greyhounds?
There are 3 key measurements to take note of - chest-size, back-length, and neck-length. Due to their body shape, it can be very uncomfortable for greyhounds to wear clothes that don't fit their measurements. Therefore, we highly suggest that you carefully measure the required sizes before purchasing their outdoor wear. We also recommend using soft and flexible materials. Not only does this provide more comfort but it also supports their athletic and energetic lifestyle.
