Living with your Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound, like the Whippet and Greyhound, are one of the easiest breeds to groom. Like motst short-coated dogs, the Italian Greyhound does not require much time to grooming. Although the Italian Greyhound will shed, the amount will be minimal if the coat is kept in good condition. The grooming tools and supplies required to keep your Italian Greyhound clean, trim, and neat are easily obtainable.

The grooming table is on of the most important tools in the grooming process. It becomes a safe place to cut your dog´s nails and whiskers, brush his teeth, and clean his ears. Many show enthusiasts can use the table both indoors and outdoors as a convenient place to prepare their dogs for the show ring.
Whether you´re preparing your dog for a show, an obedience trial, or for company, a thorough grooming always starts with brushing.

A regular soft brush or a gentle rubdown with your fingers will do the trick in removing loose, dead skin and hair. My Italian Greyhounds, Lisa and Selma, seem to really enjoy the brushing and it lends a lustrous shine to their coats as well.
