Nutrition
The nutrition of the Spanish Greyhound must be designed to maintain its **lean constitution and energy level**. It is crucial to choose a **high-quality food**, preferably with a high content of animal proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Due to their fast metabolism, they may require two meals a day to maintain stable energy levels and avoid a prolonged empty stomach. It's important to **control portions** to prevent malnutrition or excess weight, although Galgos usually stay thin. Some Galgos can be picky eaters; if so, try different textures or flavors. They often have **sensitive stomachs**, so diet changes should be gradual. It is advisable to consult the veterinarian to establish a nutritional plan appropriate for their age, activity level, and health status, and to consider supplements like joint protectors if there are signs of joint problems.
