Rásaíocht Con Éireann (RCÉ) / Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) have announced the dates for its Dental Health Roadshow to all 14 greyhound stadia across Ireland over the coming weeks. 

The campaign is part of the Dental Health Awareness Programme to highlight the importance of dental health at all stages of a greyhound’s life.

The initiative also coincides with the rollout of the newly announced Dental Assistance Scheme. This applies to work performed on the teeth of greyhounds entering the Irish Retired Greyhound Trusts (IRGT) greyhound rehoming programme, including those being retained as a pet by the owner.  

Under the scheme, up to €50 is being provided towards the costs of dental work undertaken in preparation for rehoming which can be, depending on the level of intervention needed, undertaken at or around the same time as neutering.  

Further details and information are available on www.grireland.ie.  

The Dental Assistance Scheme can be accessed in conjunction with the IRGT neutering scheme. Further details are available at www.irgt.ie.
