This dog has Italian Greyhound blood, and although its disease resistance is relatively strong, it must be ensured that it gets enough exercise every day so that it can grow up healthily.

The Whippet has short coat, so grooming is not burdensome; you can brush it once every other day, but after each brushing, wipe it with a soft dry towel to remove dust and dirt from its body. It should be bathed regularly; in summer when the weather is hot, the number of baths should be appropriately increased. Every 3-5 days, clean out its earwax and dental tartar. Also regularly wash its eyes with warm boiled water to prevent eye inflammation.

Tableware such as food bowls and mixing utensils should be cleaned thoroughly every day. Food left over from the previous meal must not be fed again at the next meal, and strict attention must be paid to cleanliness and hygiene. The dog kennel should be chosen in a clean, hidden and dry place, cleaned once every 1-2 days, and disinfected regularly.

From the day the puppy is purchased, it should be disciplined and trained so that it can obey the owner's commands and directions, and understand that it must not use its teeth and claws to damage or tear items in the home such as curtains, tablecloths, clothes and sofas. In particular, it should understand how to develop clean and hygienic habits, always keep its coat clean, avoid getting contaminated with dirt, and not defecate anywhere.

During the rearing process, you should often pay attention to the dog's health condition, such as its mental state, appetite, stool condition, and the moisture and temperature of its nose pad. Once any abnormal situation is found, it should be examined and treated immediately.
