Once the local authority has been informed, surely Daybreaks can legally rehome Suzy after 7 days with the previous owners losing any rights to her? Good luck little one xxx

Words fail me, it sounds horribly as though they didn't want her and either allowed her to get out, or even worse dumped her...... It makes my blood boil, all they had to do is contact the kennels for help!

Thank you, that does help a lot. I'm keen to make sure they're comfortable as when you're out in the day it's hard to judge how the temperature falls in the house. Checking the ears is a great idea which I didn't know about. I've just had a feel and all the ears are nice and warm at the moment so I guess the two girls are alright....:) Thank you again x

I have been given a message through Bark Inn Kennels that the owners of Suzy do not want her back. However, until I hear directly from them, we are unable to make her available for rehoming. Sadly she is back at the kennels tonight.......

hi cinders, generally the rule is if you need a coat then they need a coat. I have been using my waterproof fleece coats lately as the days are quite cold now. If your house is cold during the day, putting on their light fleeces is fine, a good indication as to wether they are cold are their ears, if their ears are cold then so are they. Hope this helps.

Hi, we were wondering about keeping the dogs warm as the winter approaches? I always put them in their light fleeces now although I stil see a couple of greyhounds out without one on so I hope I'm not putting them on too early so they won't feel the benefit in deep winter - I haven't used the think fleeces yet. What about when it's really cold in real winter? Should we leave some kind of heating on for them in the house or put them in their coats during the day then? We usually, like most people, have heating on in the evening and morning but it goes off in the day, but now this is our first winter with the girls I'm thinking they are going to be lying around in a cold house not moving so what sort of allowances should we make for this?I've googled some of these self-heating pads you can buy, but I don't quite see how they work and some of them actually need plugging in and I don't lke that idea just in case something goes wrong! What sort of temperature in the house would you all consider too cold for a greyhound before you'd consider leaving heating on or putting her in a fleece while we're out? How would we actually know if they're feeling cold? I've never seen them shiver and actually, even when I think it's a bit chilly in the house at the moment they're always sprawled flat out rather than curled up, so I assume that at the moment that means they're comfortable? Thank you 🙂

Harry has come back to Daybreaks today. He has got emotional issues and I advised the best thing would be for him to be returned. He is a lovely boy but very very nervous which can often result in aggression towards others. He will come home with me until he feels a little more confident with life. He would need a home with an experienced owner who could help him with his training.
