Are you supposed to see a greyhounds' spine?

Question

My friend has a pet greyhound, and you can see his spine through his fur. I know you're supposed to see their ribs, but their spine???

He's 5-years-old, and he apparently doesn't eat much. He's from an animal shelter.

If you had any advice, that would be helpful.

Answer 1

yes the points of the spine should show.

Answer 2

It is common for a grey hound to have his/her spine showing.

BUT has to have obvious meat on the body.

When you pet or feel the dog does it feel bony through out the body???

or like a normal dog with some meat content?

If not then the dog may be underfeed may have worms,poor food quality etc...and needs to see a vet.

If so then the dog is perfectly fine and should have nothing to worry about.

Good Luck.
