Which greyhounds need a safety harness

• Fearful greyhounds from animal welfare: The invisible scars
  Some sighthounds, such as Galgos, Podencos, or Greyhounds, carry invisible scars that bear witness to their past or their innate fears. These special dogs have special needs because they are more sensitive to their environment. Everyday situations that we take for granted can trigger unimaginable stress and panic in them.
  
  

• Escape behavior and the unstoppable hunting instinct
  Greyhounds are known for their breathtaking speed and, in some cases, their strong prey drive. However, these very traits can lead to dangerous situations, especially when the dog is stressed or around wildlife. A conventional safety harness may not provide enough security and control to counteract these instincts.

The advantages of safety harnesses for greyhounds: safety and control in perfection

• Escape security :
  The key feature of an escape-proof safety harness is its ability to withstand greyhounds' escape behavior. The special fit, the double bar on the belly, and the double closure around the back make it impossible for the dog to escape from the harness. This minimizes the risk of accidents or loss of the dog and greatly increases safety.
  
  

• Additional control for more certainty :
  An escape-proof safety harness offers dog owners better control over their dog. This is especially important if the dog is anxious, easily distracted, or prone to chasing behavior. The harness's many attachment options provide the peace of mind of maintaining control over your four-legged friend at all times. No more unexpected escape attempts or uncontrolled chases – you are the captain of the leash.
  
  

• Ideal for hiking and outdoor activities :
  A safety harness is also ideal for hiking and other outdoor activities with your dog. With improved control and double security, you can guide your dog safely, even in unfamiliar terrain or near wildlife. This minimizes unexpected incidents, allowing you to fully enjoy your adventures together. Safety harnesses give you the freedom to travel without worry and allow your greyhound to have a safe and exciting outdoor experience.

The limitations of conventional safety harnesses for greyhounds: Why they are often not sufficient

The vast majority of conventional safety harnesses are not specifically designed for the body type of greyhounds and therefore do not meet the required safety standards. Due to their cut and construction, they often do not provide sufficient escape protection and can easily fail on greyhounds with a strong flight behavior or hunting instinct. These harnesses usually slip significantly, even when the dog is relaxed. It is important to recognize that not all safety harnesses are equally suitable for greyhounds.
