Is your ex-racing greyhound hiding pain?
Download the greyhound signs of pain checklist and learn what to look out for.
We hear about the broken hocks, missing toes and tripaws. But muscle injuries are even more common on the racetrack, and largely invisible once healed.
Greyhounds are good at being stoic, and zoomies don’t mean pain-free. The adrenaline of chasing and playing can mask pain, so the signs are easy to miss.
That’s why I’ve created this handy checklist for you. Pop it up on the fridge (or wherever you put important bits of paper) and tick off signs as you notice them.
