GREYBY-SITTING PROFESSIONAL GREYHOUND SITTING SERVICE A trip to the kennel can be a stressful situation for many dogs. If you have to travel, but do not want to cause your fur baby any unnecessary stress, then a vacation at our home may be a Greyt answer. Your beloved Grey would share the couch with my Greyhound and Whippet, and would be loved by our family. All Greyt Guests must be cat safe, because our cat shares the couch too. Please call me anytime at 859-5858 for more inFURmation and to check availability. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION |
A number of you have expressed concern because of the huge amount of fleas inhabiting your yards and infesting your Greys this year. Because the Greys are so very sensitive to so many over the counter products, and even prescription remedies such as FRONTLINE, which has caused seizures in many Greys, we recommend that you use "ORIGINAL BLUE DAWN DISH DETERGENT" for the immediate control of fleas on your Greyhound. DAWN is 100% safe for the dog and it kills fleas on contact. You can bathe your Greyhound as often as necessary, without fear of harming the dog in any way. Simply use "DAWN" like a regular shampoo and watch the fleas die on contact !! Many users report that DAWN works when even the most popular flea shampoos fail!

Beginning in May 2007 Forever Home will begin Micro-Chipping all of our available Greyhounds. We feel it is an important and valuable tool to insure their safety. We will also be offering low cost chipping to all of our clients who currently own Forever Home Greyhounds. The Micro Chipping will be by appointment or at specified adoption events. (call Paula for details)
The cost to our current adoptive clients will be a very reasonable $10.00 per Greyhound which is less than 1/2 what your Vet is able to offer it for. Please call Paula at 518-261-7025 for info and arrangements. 30 Days of ShelterCare Pet Insurace is availiable for free, with the implantation of the Micro Chip. See Below for more information. |

It is a nationwide group, to be used for posting alerts for missing dogs throughout the USA, similar to the way Amber Alerts are used to help find missing or abducted children. Incidents will be typical of, but not limited to: dogs escaped or suspected of being taken from, backyards, dog shows, caretakers, etc. Photos can be uploaded to the list. |
Behavior problems account for the leading cause of owner relinquishment of pets and in some cases resulting euthanasia - we all know it and numerous studies confirm it. Often pet parents just need some help in dealing with the issues they are facing. PetVideo.com can help.

Choosing a Vet to Care for Your Retired Racer
Vet Care Your choice of veterinarian is an important decision. Try to locate a vet who has worked with greyhounds. Greyhounds require only one fifth of the anesthesia that would be used on another dog of the same size. This is because they are lacking certain enzymes which break down anesthetic in their systems. It is very important that your vet knows this, as an overdose can be fatal. If you are unsure, ASK your Vet, or call Paula 518 261 7025 for a referral to a Greyhound safe Veterinarian ! For a list of Forever Home Approved Veterinarians, visit our Care Sheet. Your greyhound should have a complete booster shot, heartworm test, rabies shot and physical once a year. Heartworm preventive medication should be used regularly. |
