There are many products on sale which claim to ease arthritis in dogs. Interesting article on the subject on this link.
However, from my own experience with dogs and horses, I have found Devil’s Claw to be the best. It is a natural ‘product’ which makes it even better. I use it in powder form sprinkled on food and purchase it from Equine Answers. I’ve recommended it to friends who have been pleased with the results on their own arthritic dogs.
Pyometra in dogs
Abuela, a 14 year old podenco, recently arrived at Galgos del Sol, having been taken away from her owner by the Guardia Civil. She has leishmania, rickettsia and a pyometra. She has had surgery and is on treatment for leish, and is now feeling better andmixing with the other dogs.
What is pyometra?
How much has this poor podenco suffered, starving, cold and abandoned. He was picked up by a volunteer who already has 6 dogs so she is trying to find a foster or shelter for him.

I have asked if he is now safe.

Rescued Podencos rehomed in the Uk wearing E-Collars
This is beyond sad, and our greatest fear. The rescues in Spain save these Podencos that are abandoned or subjected to abuse .. They along with their vets supporters and volunteers invest time, significant amounts of money and love in preparing them to start a new life. In the belief they are going to a loving home where they will be safe from any future harm.
It came to the attention of the rescue responsible for the podenco on the right (who was only a few months old when adopted that it is wearing an e-collar. Through a post by a “dog trainer”.. That the only way to give the life a podenco needs which is able to run off lead and not hunt animals is by using electronic training aids, a polite way to call an ecollar that discharges an electrical shock to modify the dogs behaviour.
From Jolina Behle of a podenco rescue association in Valencia..
Electric collars on dogs are banned in Europe but the UK still allows them. This is the story of torture for a podenco in England. Begs the question, why adopt a hunting breed and use one of these collars to try and stop it chasing?!!
YOUNG PODENCO FROM MANCHESTER / UK REGION IS RAISED WITH A POWER COLLAR
In the summer of 2023 we adopted 4 pod puppies from a Spanish animal shelter. They grew up in a Spanish boarding house and one of these 4 puppies has obviously pulled the “A-card”.
Never before have we brought a dog to England, the interested woman (Claire…. ) was very interested, everything was positive, she LIED to us SO …. it’s hard to bear.
From Galgos 112
Yinni has been at the residence for a year and is ready to be adopted or at least go to a temporary foster home until her furever family arrives.
Yinni is between 1-2 years old. When we found her she was abandoned and had taken refuge in the train station, sleeping on one of the stairs. She shared food with the cats of a nearby colony.
She is a very beautiful pod, everyone loves her, she’s big in size, more or less like a greyhound. She is healthy and active, loves to play with other dogs.
We have always had more than one dog so we’ve been lucky that we have never had to deal with the problem of separation anxiety. But galgos and podencos are used to living in packs, so it is something which could be a problem if a rescue is adopted as an only dog. Having said that, some – notably ex racing greyhounds – have to live as an only dog.
This article from the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals PDSA explores the problem.
