One key ingredient is a quality greyhound food will be oil, and commonly fish oil. Fish oils offer a multitude of health benefits and will help to keep your dog’s skin healthy, coat glossy and eyes bright.You could also consider adding a teaspoon of cod liver oil into the breakfast feed or perhaps tinned pilchards, sardines or tuna (no brine) should be given two or three times a week.Just remember that if you are feeding a dry pet food to any animal it should be served with a bowl of fresh water.
