Do Greyhounds need much grooming or bathing? Do they shed much?
Very little, on both counts. Because Greyhounds have little oil in their skin, they have no “doggy odor,” and stay sweet smelling for long periods between baths. Their coats are short and sleek, making Greyhounds very low maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming. While we wouldn’t go so far as to characterize Greyhounds as hypoallergenic, many Greyhound adopters who have previously had allergic reactions to other breeds of dogs report that they have no trouble with a Greyhound in their home.
