Next thing to consider is Pet Insurance. We strongly recommend you take
out insurance as a trip to the vets can quickly get expensive. I’m often
asked who is good but there are so many companies out there and their
policies change so I can only suggest that you take time to do some
research. If you haven’t used pet insurance before maybe ask pet owning
family or friends of their experiences and of course reading reviews
online can help and although they won’t recommend anyone you may be able
to get some information from your local vet practice. As with all insurance
the costs and cover vary greatly so it’s really important to read the detail
and really understand exactly what is covered and what isn’t.

If you’re making online comparisons look for Galgo Espanol, Spanish
Greyhound, Spanish Galgo or Spanish Hunting Dog on their breed lists
when getting quotes. Although you won’t know the exact details of your
new dog yet it’s worth doing the research now so that you can get the
insurance set up as soon as you’ve adopted. Most of them have a 14 day
period before they offer full cover.

One final job to do, especially if a first time dog owner, is to hop online and
check out the list of foods that are toxic to dogs. They include common
things like Onions, Chocolate, Artificial Sweetener (Xylitol),
Grapes and Raisins. There’s also lots of common plants that grow in the
garden that can be dangerous for dogs so please do check your garden.
Better safe than sorry.

More information about Adoption is available on the GIN website or you
can email me at homing@greyhoundsinneed.co.uk and I’ll do my best to
help.

P.S Don’t forget to stock up on poo bags!
