Greyhounds are particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures, obvious in the cold weather, but not so obvious in the heat. Like all dogs they get very hot on warm days, they will pant, possibly be grumpy (like us really) and try to find cool places to lie. Leave them in peace as much as you can, remind children to cuddle a lot less, if at all. Help  to keep them cool with damp flannels on their bodies, and protect them from the sun, with cream if they decide to lie outside. This might sound crazy but if there is a breeze in the garden it might seem to be the coolest place but dogs don't know about UV rays and can get badly burnt. Please remember to take care to only walk them before it heats up in the morning or at night when it has cooled down. If they are reluctant to go for a walk then just give them the opportunity to toilet in the garden and let them lie.

Feed earlier/later, if they don't eat much don't worry, unless there are other symptoms of illness.

Never leave a dog in a hot room or car - they can die within ten minutes.

Symptoms are distress, severe panting and collapse.

Cool the dog as fast as possible, with cold water or ice applied to the heat and back, if there isn't an immediate improvement get veterinary help.
