Why do greyhounds wear muzzles?
Greyhounds wear muzzles while racing to identify themselves so racing officials can determine the outcome of a photo finish race. It also protects them from injuring themselves or one another during the excitement of the chase, since they have light coats and thin skin. They do not need to be muzzled in a home environment, since they are gentle and docile by nature. We will send along a muzzle to new adopters in homes with cats, for the introduction to the cat and settling in period.
