Vickie has a huge passion for retired Greyhounds, so much so she is a trustee for a wonderful charity Norfolk Greyhound Rescue. Vickie does lots of charitable work with retired Greyhounds, improving their musculoskeletal health and supporting their mobility when in new homes to help ensure they live a long and happy life free of discomfort.

Greyhounds are athletes and start their racing careers very early and 50% of Greyhounds are retired as a result of an injury. As a consequence they can develop conditions like Osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal issues quite early in life. In 2022 I decided to conduct a project to explore this further and surveyed 250 owners of retired Greyhounds to see what issues their dogs faced in retirement. The findings of this were incredible and have been given to the Greyhound Board Of Great Britain so they can improve welfare of the track greyhounds and prevent these long term issues. I have also devised the below leaflet for owners of retired Greyhounds to assist them care for their Greyhound in retirement too. Please take a look and I hope you find it useful.

If you need any support with your retired Greyhounds musculoskeletal health please don't hesitate to contact me.
