Injury and Retirement

Our injury rates are the lowest independently verified figures in the world. Through our Greyhound Commitment, we are determined to reduce these still further.



Independent Veterinary Surgeons are present at all GBGB licensed tracks to check the health and wellbeing of every greyhound both before and after racing, and to provide emergency care in the event that any dog needs it.
