National Greyhound Association: The NGA can tell you your greyhound's racing name if you give them the left and right ear tattoos. They will also give you the owner of record's name, address and phone number so you can print out the Application for Transfer of Ownership and mail it to the owner of record with a request to sign and return to you. You can then transfer the registered ownership to yourself with the NGA with a fee of $30, $10 of which can be designated to go to GALT. Email nga@jc.net or call 785-263-4660.

An annual dental exam and cleaning is highly recommended after your pet has reached one year of age. This consists of a thorough exam of the entire mouth, removal of plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line, and polishing of the crowns of all of the teeth. It is also important to follow a good home care program, which can extend the positive effects of the dental cleaning. Home care can consist of brushing your pet's teeth and special dental diets. Daily brushing is an ideal way to maintain oral health between annual professional dental cleanings: More Information
