Whoever said that beggars can't be choosers never had to clean up after 32 greyhounds every day!!! Dog food is one of the major expenses at the kennel.  We appreciate either monetary donations with which we can buy dog food, or if you wish, you can donate dog food directly to the kennel.  Many supporters who drop by the kennel for a visit like to bring a 40 lb. bag of dog food with them.  If you do, we ask that you restrict your donations to certains brands and types of food.  Greyhounds have sensitive digestive systems, and many types and brands of dog food cause gastric distress and diarrhea.

Greyhounds do best on lamb and rice dry dog chow (not canned or semi-moist).   The brands which seem most digestible, and cause the least distress are (in no particular order): Proplan, Purina One, Iams, Eukanuba, and Exceed.

The cheaper brands sold in supermarkets - even the lamb and rice - do not seem to work as well.  If you had to clean up after 32 greyhounds several times a day, wouldn't you want your dogs to have healthy digestive systems!!  When the dogs' digestive systems are healthy, it also means that the dogs are able to absorb the most nutrients from their food.  We don't mean to be fussy, but we do want what is best for the dogs and for the kennel.  Thank you for your understanding.
