When you have a racing kennel that contains around 80 greyhounds it is essential that their welfare is paramount at all times.
At Alnwick kennels the personalised interaction, walks, paddocks, water, feeding and grooming create an environment which should enable the greyhounds to perform to the best of their ability.
However these magnificent athletes always perform to the maximum of their ability each time they run and like all athletes pick up injuries. All injuries are quantified as to severity but unless detected early even the most minor sprain can develop into or cause a more serious injury.
At Alnwick Kennels all greyhounds are checked after they race using a Computerised Thermal Imaging System designed to detect most types of injury.
Once the injury is detected and confirmed with “hands on” the kennel can then use the Magnetic and Ultrasound Equipment which along with massage and rest will correct the injuries keeping the greyhounds racing at their best.
