Product Description

The first edition of this book was responsible for inspiring tens of thousands of people to adopt ex-racers. Now, this fully updated edition features groundbreaking veterinary information not available anywhere else. Greyhound authority Cynthia Branigan–who has placed over 4,000 Greyhounds through her organization–offers updated statistics on the costs involved with adopting as well as new health information, such as warnings about tick-borne diseases and suggestions on buying veterinary insurance. Branigan carefully explains how to care for a Greyhound–everything from feeding and grooming to training–and how to extend the dog’s life span. Readers will also find a wealth of updated information on medical conditions in Greyhounds and the latest in tests and treatment.


From the Back Cover

"Greyhound adopters have made Adopting the Racing Greyhound their Bible and for good reason. Written from experience and also from the heart. A gem."
–Carol Lea Benjamin, award-winning author of Mother Knows Best

"The book that has had the single biggest impact on Greyhound adoption."
–Joan Belle Isle, The Greyhound Project

Since the first edition of this groundbreaking book was published, tens of thousands of people have been inspired to adopt ex-racing Greyhounds. These gentle, lovable dogs have special physical and emotional needs, and no other guide is more authoritative or complete in preparing potential Greyhound owners for the responsibilities involved than Adopting the Racing Greyhound.

This fully updated edition features veterinary information not available elsewhere, backed up by painstaking research by some of the country’s leading authorities. Respected greyhound authority Cynthia Branigan–who has helped place more than 4,000 ex-racers through her organization–provides updated statistics on the costs of adoption as well as new health information, such as safe new flea, tick and heartworm preventives, anesthesia protocols for Greyhounds and suggestions on purchasing veterinary insurance.

Branigan carefully explains how potential adopters can decide whether a Greyhound is the right dog for them–a critical issue in successful adoptions–and covers everything from feeding and grooming to training to extending the dog’s life span. She helps readers prepare a Greyhound for the arrival of a new baby; decide whether or not to add a Greyhound to an existing pack of dogs; determine when to return an adopted dog; and locate adoption agencies throughout the world. Branigan also offers a wealth of updated information on medical conditions in Greyhounds and the latest in tests and treatments.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent book!, Oct. 13 2009
Par L. Town (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
As I wanted to research the upcoming adoption of our greyhound, I purchased this and several other books on the subject. The book had very useful and pertinent information, but it was also very enjoyable to read! I read it in only a few days as it was so well written. I would most certainly buy any other books she has written!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Adopting the racing Greyhound, Janv. 20 2004
The book Adopting the racing Greyhound was recommended to me and so I went to Amazon to buy it. Based on customer reviews, it looked like the book was out of print. Then I saw the word edition and clicked on that. Am I glad I did, as there is a new third edition of the book out that just came out this past summer. It is great. It answered all of my questions about my dog and then some. So, don't give up! The new book is available, but Amazon just has it listed in a hard to find way.

5.0étoiles sur 5 THIS BOOK SAVED MY GREYHOUND'S LIFE, Janv. 19 2004
Par Un client
I had adopted a very shy Greyhound and the adoption group I got him from recommended putting him on thyroid medication. They told me it wasn't necessary to even test him for an underactive thyroid--his shyness alone was proof of the disorder. Well, they gave me the thyroid supplements and I assumed they knew best. What a mistake! Within a week he was pacing and panting. Within two weeks he was agitated and becoming very aggressive.
Thank God I happened across the book Adopting The Racing Greyhound. In it I read all about the myth that most Greyhounds have an underactive thyroid gland. I took my Greyhound to the vet right away and he, too, assured me that what the group recommended was very dangerous and could have lead to my dog having a heart attack. We did a proper thyroid test (it came back normal), and we weaned my dog off the supplements. I took him for some basic obedience training to get him socialized, and I am giving him more time, and more love, to get him over his shyness. Guess what? It is working!
Thanks to Ms. Branigan's book, my Greyhound and I are really enjoying each other's company.
