23rd Annual GPALV
Picnic in the Park Planning Committee
Our October picnic takes a lot of planning and preparation and we could use your help. Please
send an email to [email protected] if you would like to join the Planning Committee and
put your skills to work for the dogs.
Meet and Greet Coordinators Needed Meets and Greets are such an important function to introduce retired Greyhounds to pet lovers. We would like to add another meet and greet to our schedule and need a coordinator who is willing to coordinate a Saturday meet and greet for 4 hours monthly. Everything you need will be provided for set up. Please email [email protected] if you would like to be our newest Meet and Greet Coordinator. Adoption Price Increases to $350 As you all know, there is no longer any racing in Arizona. Caliente, Mexico continues to run however the retirees from there are released for transport to California, Oregon and Washington. The closest racing state is now Texas. Our costs have continued to increase while we have held the line on our adoption fee for about 8 years. The Board of Directors felt that an increase of only $25 would not discourage anyone from adopting and it would help us with our costs. Where else can you get a purebred athlete for that price?

Adorable Adoptable
Jules Still Needs An Angel Foster
Sweet little Jules (Hashtag Jubilee) is available as a Permanent Foster. This beautiful 3 year old girl came to us from another group that was having difficulty finding a placement for her. Jules is a 'special needs' dog, needing a daily dose of medications to address pain from a bulging disk. She has a gorgeous intense red coat, wears eye make up for a look than can break your heart and weighs 65lbs. Jules is a very happy, playful girl who loves stuffies despite her injury. She is very affectionate and loves people. As a permanent foster, Jules will need a quiet home, a family to love her and to accept her as a member of the family. GPALV will provide the medications and vet care for Jules and will retain medical decision making. What Jules Can Do: What Jules Cannot Do: Love Jump Play Wag Her Tail Run Needs Experienced Greyhound Home Ideally a low energy, laid back environment with someone home most of the time and without small critters. Tile flooring is best since Jules’ injury resulted in her inability to control her bladder or defecation. Her current foster home uses doggie diapers with great success. Are you the right one to love Jules?
Ideal Weight for Greyhounds?
Like some people, your greyhound could gain weight on the wrong diet or an excessive diet. The rule of thumb is that you should be able to see the outline of the last 3 ribs, the tips of the hip bones, and a bit of the spine. Usually the ideal pet weight is about 3-5 pounds heavier than the racing weight. When your greyhound is viewed sideways, there should be a nice curve (“tuck up”) between the end of the ribs and the thighs. Allowing your Greyhound to become heavier puts undue strain on the heart and on tendons, ligaments, and joints, which can lead to more problems with arthritis. However, unless your Greyhound has a tendency to gain weight, older Greyhounds do not need to be put on a senior diet. In most cases, the trick is keeping weight ON the old dogs, not taking it off! Low protein diets can also lead to muscle loss and wasting.
Introduce Your Hounds at Meet and Greets
We need your help to spread the word about Greyhound adoption. Most of the public is still unaware of the availability of ex-racing greyhounds as pets. The public is introduced to retirees at Meet & Greets held on weekends at PetSmart and PETCO. Please check out the Events Calendar at www.GPALV.Com to see where we will be. Come on by with your greyhounds! It’s an excellent way to meet new friends, socialize your dogs and help the hounds.
Spring is a Joyful and Hopeful Time to Foster!
Beautiful Spring weather allows for us to really enjoy our foster dogs and help them adjust to retirement. We can more easily walk them, bring them to events, let them explore the yard with the door cracked open, and watch them run, romp and play outside, It is overall a very relaxing, hopeful time on renewal.
We take care of all of their medical needs and will provide you training, support, guidance and supplies. Please give it a try…it will be a rewarding experience and is critical for homeless hounds in need.
If you can help, please contact your adoption representative, a current foster parent or Judy at [email protected] or leave a message at 702.392.5822.
At The Rainbow Bridge
We send out our sincere condolences to those families whose dogs have passed away and deeply
apologize if your hound is not named. Please let us know about your loss so we can honor your dog and
keep our database complete.

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives

Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,

Compulsive Paw Chewing
Picture in your head a really itchy dog. Got it?
Now what did you see? Chances are, you
envisioned a dog scratching away at his ears or
belly, or maybe rubbing his rear end on the
corner of your couch. And while all of this is
indeed very common for itchy dogs, we often
tend to overlook one of most frequent symptoms
of allergic disease … paw chewing.
If you were to request a referral to a veterinary
allergist, I would send you to a dermatologist. I
know that’s odd compared to people, but we do
that because in dogs, most allergic diseases
manifest in the skin. Referred to as “pruritus” by
veterinarians, the type of itchiness that we are
talking about with allergic disease isn’t the minor
irritation of a flea bite but the unrelenting, keep-
you-up-all-night, horrifying discomfort that we
humans associate with conditions like chicken pox
or poison ivy. Yes, it’s bad for these little guys.
Well-meaning pet parents try to dissuade their
dogs from biting and licking by using e-collars or
putting socks on their feet, but none of that
addresses the underlying itchiness. As soon as
the physical barrier is removed, they’re right to
the back destructive reaction.
Oftentimes a dog begins by licking very gingerly
at their paws. Being a good pet parent, you check
their toes and pads for causes of the irritation,
such as burrs, ticks or cuts, but – alas – find
nothing. As the irritation worsens, the dog begins
to chew instead of licking, plucking fur out and
gnawing at their toes like they were little
rawhide chews. After a while, the skin becomes
weakened (or worse, broken) by the constant
chewing, which almost invariably develops into
secondary bacterial and/or yeast infections.
Sometimes by the time the pet arrives at the
vet, their poor little toes look like ground beef.
What are the types of allergic disease?
What causes this infernal itchiness? Chances are,
it’s allergies. Dogs suffer from three main
categories of allergic disease: fleas,
environmental allergies (referred to as “atopy”)
and food allergies. So, which one is your dog
experiencing?
Flea allergies are the most common allergic
disease in dogs. However, flea allergies result in
itchiness primarily on the hindquarters and at the
base of the tail. Atopy is the second most
common form of allergic disease. Dogs react to
the same environmental allergens that humans
do … things like trees, grasses and pollens, molds,
dander, perfume, dust mites, even cats and
people! Depending on the cause, these allergies
may be seasonal.
And, so, what remains are food allergies. Food
allergies are the least commonly diagnosed form
of allergic disease, although it may be
underdiagnosed in canines. In our post "The
Scoop on Grain-Free Pet Foods", we discussed the
prevalence of food allergies:
Food allergies or adverse food reactions are abnormal reactions to ingredients found in everyday foods. Recent estimates indicate that less than 5% of skin diseases in dogs and cats are accurately diagnosed as being caused by a food allergy. Even though the incidence of adverse food reactions remains unclear, a lot of pet parents believe that grains are prime suspects. However, the most commonly identified food allergens among dogs and cats are proteins in beef, dairy, chicken, soy and corn. Food allergies can cause itchy skin alone or even gastrointestinal problems as well.
How are allergies diagnosed?
Truthfully, it takes a good bit of medical
detective work. Flea allergies are the simplest …
if you find fleas on an itchy dog, mystery solved!
Atopy is diagnosed by ruling everything else out
first since there is no one specific test for it.
When it comes to food allergies, it takes a good
bit more effort and time. Blood tests, even
though they are available on the market, are
somewhat unreliable. The only way to truly know
if your dog is allergic to food is to perform a
strict 8-12 week elimination trial with a
hypoallergenic diet and see if the condition
improves.
What does this mean for you? Many times, when
a pet is experiencing unrelenting itching and paw
chewing, we start treatment before arriving at a
specific diagnosis to try and get the pet some
immediate relief. Regardless of the actual cause
of the allergies, eliminating potential allergens
across the board can push them below the
“allergen threshold” and help them feel better.
When it comes to compulsive paw chewing, here’s
what I recommend:
1. Start with a trip to your vet. Your
veterinarian will help you sort out the
problem sooner rather than later; a
detailed history will give her clues as to
what type of allergy your dog may be
experiencing. She can run tests, prescribe
medications and determine whether your
pup has secondary bacterial or yeast
infections that require treatment.
2. Check those toes! Contact dermatitis can
occur when the skin comes in direct
contact with an allergen such as grass. It’s
always a good idea to give the paws a good
rubdown with a damp cloth when your dog
comes indoors after playing outside. Witch
hazel is a gentle cleaner that can help with
mild irritation.
Whatever you do, avoid products that
contain alcohol … ouch!
3. Investigate your dog’s diet. Even for pet
kids who don’t have food allergies, a high
quality diet with a new protein source can
reduce the immune burden. Omega-3 fish
oils can help the skin remain an effective
barrier against the environment.
4. Consider other causes. If nothing else
changes, don’t forget that itching is not
the only reason pet kids chew on their
feet. Pain from arthritis and anxiety are
often culprits. Like allergies, arthritis pain
and anxiety don’t simply go away on their
own.
The take-home message here is, paw chewing is
uncomfortable but treatable! While there are
plenty of things you can do at home to help the
symptoms, addressing the underlying cause is key
to nipping those problems in the bud. With some
attention and love, your dog can be back on his
non-itchy feet in no time.
The Complexity of Canine Memory
12 December 2016 by Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM
Have you ever sat staring deeply into your dog’s
eyes, wondering “I wonder what you’re thinking?”
Sure, they give us clues here and there, but as
whole, the workings of your dog’s mind remains a
mystery.
But there’s mounting evidence that we may have
underestimated their mental capacities. I know
when I was going through school and we would use
words describing the emotions the pets seemed
to feeling - love, anxiety, fear - we were often
shut down with a stern, “Don’t
anthropomorphize!” It was assumed that only
humans were capable of such human-like
emotions.
As we’ve studied more the amazing bonds that
exist between humans and dogs, we’ve gotten
better insight into the inner workings of their
doggie brains. And while it’s true that we can’t
say with 100% certainty what a dog thinks and
feels (because you’d actually need to be able to
talk to a dog in order for him to tell you that), I
can tell you that the more we learn about their
inner workings, the gap between people and dogs
is narrowing. Each new study offers amazing
insight into how smart, individual, and yes –
emotional – they really are.
One of the most common tropes we hear about
dogs is, “They live in the moment,” which assumes
they don’t spend too much time thinking about
the past. But all of us who share our lives with
dogs have seen them react to something in a way
that indicates they sure do remember things,
thank you very much! As a veterinarian, “white
coat syndrome”, the fearful reaction of a dog to
a veterinarian in a white lab coat, is so well-
documented that many of us just stopped wearing
the jackets entirely. And now science is finally
showing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that dogs
remember much more than we previously thought
possible.
A recent study of 17 dogs in Current Biology explored the idea of episodic memory in
dogs. They began by training the dogs to “Do as I
do”, i.e., to imitate their trainer’s behavior. In
this case, the dogs were aware they were
receiving a cue, a signal to say “pay attention to
what I’m doing.”
Then the researchers repeated the experiment,
but without giving the “Do as I do” cue
beforehand. Regardless of what the person was
doing, the dog was instructed to lie down.
Afterwards, trainers gave the dogs the command
to repeat what they had just observed. This
forced the dogs to recall what they had observed
using episodic memory. This form of memory
centers around the ability to recall a specific
event from the past, but you didn’t know you were
supposed to remember it at the time it happened.
Despite showing signs of surprise, the dogs were
able to recall what they had seen and imitate the
person’s actions.
By demonstrating this ability to mimic, the study
designers showed that dogs are watching and
storing what they see all around them. Like
people, they appear to be dumping all of that
input into a short term memory bank, and if the
information isn’t needed, it gets tossed out. Much
the same way I can tell you what I had for dinner
last night but not last month, a dog’s brain is
quite capable of assessing memories and storing
those considered pertinent for survival. As a
social species whose evolution is closely tied to
ours, it makes sense that they actually think in
many of the same ways.
So, the next time you do something embarrassing
around your pup, don’t be so quick to think they
won’t remember it. At least we know for certain
they won’t be spilling our secrets via speech,
right?
