While Italian Greyhounds are small and low-maintenance in the grooming stakes, they’re high maintenance in almost all other respects!
Here’s a handy list of the essential kit that you will need for your Italian Greyhound.
- Water Bowl
- Raised Feeding Bowl
- A complete food – dry / wet / raw or freeze-dried
- Dog Treats
- A soft Dog Bed
- A soft Dog Blanket
- Dog Crate (preferably a plastic Vari-Kennel style) with a suitable mattress inside – the safest way to travel your Italian Greyhound in a car
- Pet Insurance Policy – check the clauses relating to orthopedic surgery in particular!
- A Vet – register asap even if there is nothing wrong with your dog!
- ID Tag (engraved with your name, address & mobile phone number)
- Sighthound Collar or Harness
- Dog Lead
- Poop bags – either recycle plastic carrier bags or value nappy sacks work well and are generally economical
- Waterproof Rain Coat
- Fleece Jumper / Body Warmer for cold weather (ideally this should fit under the Rain Coat)
- Toys
- Canine nail clippers
- Small Canine Toothbrush or Child’s Toothbrush
- Canine Toothpaste
