GREYHOUND WELFARE 

OUR PRIORITY IS THE GREYHOUND
At Coventry Stadium, our first priority is the greyhound itself. The welfare of the greyhound is paramount, from its pre-race environment under the care of a professional trainer in the kennels, through to the kennelling facilities, racing conditions, veterinary inspections and care while at the stadium, and last but by no means least, care of the greyhound when its racing career comes to an end.
We visit the kennels of all attached trainers to ensure they meet our high standards - as well as those of the NGRC.

KENNELLING AT THE TRACK
Our new kennel block is 'state of the art' with all the modern facilities. It includes air conditioning, not just the air flow system. Security of the kennels is vital and cameras and stewarding are utilised to maximise the safety of the dogs.

RACE CONDITIONS
Coventry greyhound track can boast the widest bends in the country, measuring up to seven metres. The racing surface comprises of the highest quality sand with a depth of 12 inches, compared to the usual six inches at most other race tracks. The well-cambered bends further enhance the track

VETERINARY CARE
Richard Torr, one of the top greyhound specialist vets in the country, and his colleagues have been employed to inspect and care for the greyhounds. Included on site will be a fully equipped veterinary centre.

AFTER RACING
It is our intention to assist the RGT and make sure that all owners/ trainers make appropriate provisions for greyhounds in their care  at the end of their racing career.
