Surprisingly enough, an Italian Greyhound’s teeth are the most important element to maintain. Requiring brushing is required almost daily, and they also need a yearly cleaning by a veterinarian. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health. They also need to have their nails trimmed on a regular basis, which is best done with an electric trimmer. Luckily, Italian Greyhound coats are short and require minimal care. A bath is only needed when a simple brushing won’t remove any dirt or debris.

Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
