Ensuring welfare stays at the heart of our sport

Following a meeting today of the GBGB Board, it has been announced that all greyhound racing at GBGB licensed racecourses will be put on hold in order to meet the updated guidance from the government on social distancing. This comes after yesterday’s interim announcement to temporarily pause the racing calendar until further advice could be sought.

GBGB has published advice for vets and trainers during the temporary suspension of racing on the continued care and welfare of greyhounds. It includes advice on feeding, exercise and medication, as well as important information regarding vaccination.

Our new Code of Practice brings together guidelines on greyhound welfare from across the sport for the very first time

We have released a new short film to promote what fantastic pets greyhounds make in their retirement.

We want to ensure that after their racing careers, all GBGB licensed greyhounds enjoy a long and happy retirement.
