While the inital costs of buying a greyhound is much cheaper than ordering a designer puppy, ($250 compared to $10,000) we want everyone to understand their responsiblities and costs of looking after your greyhound over time.
Each dog breed has specific neesds and while a larger dog is not necessarily more expensive to care for than a smaller dog, your greyhound will have costs beyond food and these will increase as the hound ages. This is true for all dogs, who cost the most in the last years of life as they need more veterinary care.
We'd like to know what you spend on your greyhound to give potential adopters an idea of what to expect to budget. Consider the following costs of ongoing care:
► Council registration fees
► Cost of bedding - as your hound ages you may need orthopedic bedding; or cheap bedding wore out and requires replacement
► Cost of clothing - greyhounds need clothing
► Medical costs (yearly check up; vaccination; nail care, worming, illness, old age related costs)
► Pet Insurance
► enrichment activities - as simple as toys, as complex as day care while you are at work
► Holiday or dog sitting/ dog boarding cost when you are away for work or holidays
