At every greyhound race meeting, all of the dogs are checked by the Vet and then taken to an air-conditioned kennel where they stay secure until it is time to get ready for their race.
Kennel staff facilitate this process by weighing greyhounds and recording their details, distributing stretch vests and kennel cards, assisting stewards and the Vet where applicable and maintaining cleanliness in the kennel
block.
There are approximately 6 kennel staff employed at each race meeting and all of them are employed on a casual or part-time basis.
No experience is required to become a part of the Kennel Staff, just a common sense approach and the ability to work whenever the race meetings are on.
