Can Italian Greyhounds swim?

Yes, Italian Greyhounds can swim, but they are not natural or strong swimmers compared to some other dog breeds. Their slender build, short legs, and low body fat can make swimming more challenging and less efficient for them.

Some Italian Greyhounds may enjoy wading or splashing in shallow water, but others may be hesitant or even fearful of swimming. Using a doggie life vest can provide added safety and support for Italian Greyhounds when swimming and help build their confidence in the water.
