Care
Polish Greyhounds have relatively low-maintenance coats. Weekly brushing is all that’s needed to keep them looking their best. Nail trims, ear cleanings, and regular dental care—including at-home teeth brushing and professional cleanings—should also be part of their grooming routines.
These are just a few ways you can help prevent this life-threatening condition. Consult your veterinarian about other ways—including surgical options—to prevent bloat.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
