Warning!! Extreme heat and greyhounds do not mix well!! The high heats we are experiencing are very dangerous for all dogs but especially greyhounds with their lack of fur and thin skin. Their tender feet are a risk too - on the dark hot top or even on lighter colored sidewalks. Always test the surface with the back of your hand and keep them off the pavement as much as possible. If walking your grey this time of year it should only be in the early morning or maybe later at night or get them a "cool coat". I know that REI has them and theirs are made by Ruff Wear but you can also get them on the net.
