I'm very fortunate to have a wonderful groomer just around the corner from me. She and my greyhound adore each other and every time we go past the salon she pulls to go in. I took her to be washed about 3 months after she moved in with me. She was very dirty. She's been once more, after jumping into a dirty canal and going for a swim. The smell clung to her for ages and the only way to get rid of it was for her to have a bath. Normally she smells like warm fur, and no wet dog smell after getting caught in the rain. That alone is a compelling reason to get a greyhound! I do look forward to your videos each week and I learn a lot from them. Keep them coming!
I have found a large hand towel works great. And having a detachable wand showers head also helps on medium temperature with the most delicate spray detached and hanging into the tub. Also, start it before getting the dog in.
Brushing - Daily or weekly, obviously more in spring! Teeth - Daily Ears - Weekly Nails - Weekly or as needed Bath - As needed, can be only once or twice a year!
HAHAHAHA Just love your videos Jill ! The hounds are hilarious ! I was not aware that Greyhounds do not smell , until my girl Bonnie decided that she loved to sit in any lake or river that she could gain access to . She just sits there and surveys her kingdom , like the queen she is . I was really surprised , and delighted , when I realised there was no smell . ( There is nothing worse than the smell of a wet dog - phew . ) I brush her regularily to keep her black coat clean and shiny , and she finds that very soothing = sometimes dropping off to sleep . Thanks for everything ! Kind regards - Judi - Australia 😊🐾🐾🌻
When we moved into our new house, we specifically built a walk-in shower with hand-shower attachment to bath the dogs. They don't need it often, but the older girl does get a bit stinky and needs a bath every six months or so. And she finds it less stressful than wet wipes, for some reason. And yes, greyhounds smell amazing, I also creepy-smell my dogs.
After a walk in the rain, my hound loves having her head and neck immersed in a soft towel and being gently rubbed dry. She makes a snorting noise when being fussed and it makes me smile every time :D
Hi Jill….thank you again for such a great video!! And, my Striker only gets bathed once a year….and probably no more baths for him at 13 years!! ❤from Jean. Ps. I love watching all your hounds mill about!
I used to have a Jack Russell who absolutely loved rolling in fox pee, cow pats and just about anything else that stank, so I can fully relate to the tales of your Westie lol! I am delighted that my greyhound does not enjoy such "pleasures" and smells just like Gandalf :D lol!
I have a very clear memory of sitting in the back seat of our car, aged maybe 7 or 8, with a Westie covered in cow poo on the way back from a day out. Not something I would choose to repeat
@@jwcaninecare Thats the kind of childhood memory that you really dont want to have repeating! Ironically, my dog rolled in fox scat on Friday, and I had the dubious pleasure of giving him a bath - he is 35kg and my bathroom is from the 1960s, so it was rather like a scene from a Carry On film lol!
Yes, very helpful! As an Italian, I miss some words, but on the whole, I understand pretty well. We still have few Rescue-Greyhounds in Italy, (mostly Galgos from Spain), so I have to browse the internet to know more about them. Even vets, unfortunately, need to be informed too and that's is a huge issue.
I loved the smell of my Lurcher and little Bichon, they smelt sort of sweet and like home. How I miss them both🌹🌹.. so much to miss...🐾💕🐾 Re: your gang, I'd definitely bury my snout haha in them anyday!!😂 🤣 as they are just lovely ❤ I pretty much adore the gang...❤ they've made me smile when it was hard for me, given me that gift and completely lifted my heart on the dark days, totally unaware ofcourse of how much good they do by just existing. 🙏🏻We are so lucky to see them and I thank you so much Jill for sharing them all.🙏🏻 💝🐾💗💖😊xx
Had to bathe my recently acquired greyhound because of her skin condition ( twice a week) first time was an experience but by the forth time she accepted her fate though was a major operation.. thankfully I have a wet room so was manageable just. She loves a rub down with a towel though. Thanks for your videos always appreciated.
My greyhound foster liked to wee on his feet, so he often got a foot bath after a walk! I loved to brush him with a soft brush and he really enjoyed it too. Like a horsey 😌
Ankther very helpful video about a very common greyhound problem! That's interesting about bone meal, I haven't come across that when I've researched firming up their poos. I know psyllium is often recommended as it absorbs some of the water in the bowel, but it's good to know about another option. I've always found with mine that terrible smelling wind is down to food that doesn't agree with them, and Chappie kibble and mass market supermarket treats have been the absolute worst thing. I avoid chicken based kibbles, along with wheat, as I've found they often don't agree with greyhounds, and cause loose poo. Using a kibble that suits them - Skinners lamb/duck or salmon and rice, and Dr John's lamb and rice, have suited my greyhounds well - completely gets rid of the wind problem, that's caused by gut irritation from food they're sensitive to.
Definitely, and often a case of trial and error unfortunately. I try to avoid chicken as it can be problematic. The gas is due to poor digestion and the 'wrong' microbes in the gut, if the food is unsuitable for them
My Hattie had her 1st shower last week at week 8 since adoption. We did quite a bit of reward training before I got her in it, with breaks for treatos as we went. She was so good and as for the towel down....oh boy yes Mom. 😊 I groom her daily with a mitt, which she adores and a light sponge down, as and when. Hats had a lot of surgery in Dec and April to repair cartilage damage....her coat was looking rather sad when I adopted her, but a beautiful shiny new coat is through and she is thriving. We love your uploads and watch them 2g. ) I used to own Westies....wow....I hear you ref their grooming and bath requirements )
I love to sniff my greyhounds, kiss & cuddle them daily! Ha! ❤❤I'm a foster mum. We just got a 3 yr old boy recently, he stunk a bit, from a long journey from W. Virginia to FL. We bathed him, & he smells lovely. We have someone interested in adopting him but they have a small dog. He'll be tested soon. ❤🤟❤
Thankyou. He's chewing stuff, plastic things like our rv remote, my Tupperware containers from my kitchen, & the end of the wooden table. I've caught him, & immediately give a firm, "No!" We've given him a chew bone, but then he got greyhound stinky gas, haha. Any tips for chewing? He's 3 yrs so still young. He's very sweet, & listens well, & a tiny bit stubborn at times. Overall he's 99.9% greyt. That 1 % naughty boy, with chewing behavior. ❤️🤟❤️
@@ravishingrose1 I have a video on using 'No!' and also one on chewing. I would suggest its more likely stress/anxiety/overexcitement than being naughty. he is unlikely to have lived anywhere where stuff he can reach is not for him...
I love how my greyhound smells. Earthy, fresh, like autumn leaves after the rain.

Another classic piece of editing by Mr J. !

Aww that is so cute - some of mine won't even walk through a puddle!
That was lovely. Mine like a good rub with the towel if we get caught in the rain. Thank you. XxX
Thank you! a towel down makes a rainy walk worthwhile :-)
I never met a Grey that didn't love a good rubdown with a towel.
they do love that part :-)

That's very dedicated 😍
Parts of Gandalf don’t smell of roses and summer mornings I wager, more like what you put on roses 😉
He is very particular about personal hygiene 😉
I love the smell of the top of my greyounds' heads. Just so lovely! And their feet smell of popcorn. I can't say the same for their breath though!!!
😍 Definitely agree with you about the breath! Maybe more teeth brushing?
very helpfull again jill,i havent bathed my 2 yet and they still smell nice ..lol..
That's great! Thank you 😍

one of my phrases I say to my dog is "you smell so delicious!" I love a good sniff :)

Aww Hattie was very brave! I hope she is better now
@jwcaninecare Hattie is adorable, so loving and has settled into her new life quickly. 💕
Love your videos, that's what I miss the most from our Eddie, I used to love to smooch and sniff the top of his head❤😢💔💙🌈
If only we could bottle that smell
I remember someone saying the smell reminded them of popcorn so try that 😁

Typo* our TV remote (plastic.) He's chewing anything he sees, grabs, goes to his bed, & chews away. Naughty naughty.
@@ravishingrose1 I have a video on using 'No!' and also one on chewing. I would suggest its more likely stress/anxiety/overexcitement than being naughty. he is unlikely to have lived anywhere where stuff he can reach is not for him...
@jwcaninecare yes, that's good advice. He doesn't seem anxious, he's sweet, & well behaved. He loves anything to chew. We're working on it. ❤️❤️
I’m sorry, but they totally smell ‘doggy’, they totally need baths, not as much, but have that doggy oil.
I guess I must just be a bit odd... I quite like it 😉
@@jwcaninecare - we’re probably all biased towards our own dogs 😄
