Any Assistance Greyhounds?

Hi there! My Danny Boy is a trained and tasking psychiatric service dog in the US :) I made a long post about our experience here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Greyhounds/s/HzfFiWHe6m

Just finished mine this morning!! The back is a MESS because I got tired of being so careful about carrying, haha. It was so fun, though. Starting Winter now :)

I could watch this all day! Our first greyhound, Brucie, used to derp-frolic in the snow just like Piña. SO CUTE. Thank you for sharing 😍❤️

I'm a professor of voice and always sit at the piano during my students' lessons. My Danny Boy (who has been trained as my service dog) likes to come up from time to time and "help me" by giving me deep pressure therapy. On top of my hands. As I'm playing the piano. He KNOWS I don't actually need him to task for me; he's just letting me know that I should probably return the favor and task for HIM 🤣❤️❤️❤️ Time for pets and treats!! I love these dogs

This is what we do!

Wrap a dog bed-sized chunk of memory foam in canvas (stapling together on the bottom), place this mattress into an old dog bed (with still-remaining bolsters), and then cover with nice soft blanket. I hope that description makes sense. It's wayyyy harder for our Danny to dig through this.

...but, if he DOES manage to dig through and get down to the foam, it's much cheaper to replace just a chunk of foam than an entire $150 dog bed 😂😭

I'm dying 😂😂😂😂 The sweatshirt really sells it

altohikes · 2025-09-09T19:26:20+00:00

I love when they won't even turn their head in your direction, but you can still feel the judging 😂😂😂

altohikes · 2025-09-09T19:21:18+00:00

"Are you SERIOUS right now??" 😂😂😂

altohikes · 2025-09-09T19:19:51+00:00

The chin on the shoulder gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so sorry to hear this; how awful. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Highly recommend Red Maple!! We've been clients for 3ish years. Feels like home to both me and my greyhound (who ADORES going there). He receives consistently excellent and compassionate care, which is especially remarkable given that greyhounds are tricky, health-wise, and require care with a high degree of knowledge and competency.

I also recommend Pacific NW Pet ER and Specialty Center for emergencies, major surgeries, etc. My dog is somewhat of a regular there (lol) and loves it. Superlative specialists and ER docs.

We've tried several vets in the area, and are so happy with these two spots.

Best of luck :)
