As these nutrients are essential for day to day bodily functions, dogs require a ready supply for normal growth & optimum health. Rehydration / Electrolytes Common greyhound diets may not contain sufficient electrolytes (body salts) to meet the needs of racing greyhounds. Training, travelling & panting deplete electrolytes, particularly in the hot weather. An electrolyte supplement can help prevent dehydration, cramping & nervousness. Blood Building Supplements Worms, fleas, stress and hard exercise can increase a dog's demand for iron. Inadequate intake can result in fatigue, reduced stamina and poor performance. Bone Building Supplements Meat based diets are often low or imbalanced in calcium & phosphorus. Adequate calcium is vital to maintain the strength & maturation rate of bone in a racing greyhound. Muscle Strength and Stamina During intensive training and hard exercise harmful "free radicals" can build up in the muscle and tissue cells, which decrease oxygen levels, utilisation of energy and affect muscle strength and power. Vitamin E acts as a natural anti-oxidant to prevent this build up. Exercise & Stress Recovery During exercise, lactic acid and free radicals build up in the muscles, and if not neutralised and removed can lead to cramping, stiffness, fatigue and slow recovery. Post race tonics and supplements increase alertness, well being & aid recovery after exercise. Sprains, Strains & General Injuries Greyhounds being the athletes they are, are likely at some stage in their racing career to over exert themselves and suffer from a sprain, strain or paw problem.

When considering supplements for greyhounds, use only products designed for use in this species. If you ignore this advice, results could be disappointing, at least – disastrous at most. For example, horse electrolyte products contain high levels of sodium. Horses are herbivores (eat plant material) and they sweat. Greyhounds are carnivores (meat eaters) and they don’t sweat and so they do not require the same high sodium levels as the horse. Trainers should consider and electrolyte such as Beta-Cel specifically made for greyhounds, which has a low sodium content but higher levels of potassium, which are needed by the breed.
