A Howell Dog Book of Distinction: Since the release of its first edition, this revolutionary book has encouraged tens of thousands to adopt ex-racing Greyhounds. These affectionate, endearing dogs come with unique physical and emotional requirements, and no other resource provides a more comprehensive or authoritative guide to the responsibilities of Greyhound ownership than Adopting the Racing Greyhound.
This up-to-date edition features exclusive veterinary insights backed by meticulous research from some of the nation’s top authorities. Esteemed Greyhound expert, Cynthia Branigan—who has facilitated the adoption of over 4,000 ex-racers through her organization—provides updated cost estimates for adoption as well as fresh health information, including safe new options for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, Greyhound-specific anesthesia protocols, and advice on veterinary insurance.
Branigan expertly guides potential adopters in deciding if a Greyhound is the right fit for them—key to successful adoption—covering everything from feeding and grooming to training, and even enhancing the dog’s lifespan. She equips readers with the knowledge to prepare a Greyhound for a new baby’s arrival; decide whether to introduce a Greyhound to an already dog-filled household; determine when it might be necessary to return an adopted dog; and locate adoption agencies globally.
Additionally, Branigan offers an abundance of updated information on medical conditions prevalent in Greyhounds, complete with the latest testing and treatment options.
