Greyhound
Italian greyhound (also known as the Italian Greyhound) is a miniature version of the Greyhound, whose roots go far back to the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. In ancient burial places still find images of small Greyhounds, very reminiscent of Italian greyhounds. Italian greyhound is a lively, fast and very smart dog. In addition, Italian greyhounds are very affectionate and gentle, if kept in a calm and loving environment. Representatives of this breed, of course, are family dogs who adore being in the company of people. Flocking life is unusual for them, Italian greyhounds are small individualists, courageous and decisive. But at the same time, do not forget that they are very sensitive: a raised voice, a rude word from the owner deeply hurt the feelings of the dog. Sometimes Italian greyhound may experience the patience of the owner, so it is necessary to seriously engage in its upbringing from childhood. Although this breed is notable for good health, they need a warm basket with a soft blanket, which they love to wrap up even in hot weather.
Feeding
Each owner wants to see his dog healthy, active and cheerful.
And, as you know, the basis of health is a proper, complete and balanced diet. Even if you purchase the freshest and highest-quality products, buy vitamins and mineral supplements, without a biochemical laboratory you cannot determine the exact nutritional value of the food you cook at home. That’s why PEDIGREE® has developed a special app that helps you evaluate how your pet’s diet meets its needs.
Proper nutrition in the first year of a puppy’s life largely determines how healthy and joyful your puppy will be in the future. Caring for the health of your pet, PEDIGREE® recommends a combination of dry and wet rations, which allows you to fully utilize the benefits of both. You can read more about this in the article.
