SAFE says there have been eight greyhounds die to due to injuries sustained at racetracks since December 18 - five of which were at Whanganui's Hatrick Raceway.
Spokesperson for the agency Will Appelbe is calling for immediate closure of the track for an investigation.
"While Kiwis enjoyed their unstoppable summer, the greyhound death toll has soared over the last three weeks," he said.
On December 18, one dog was euthanised in Whanganui after suffering a significant fracture to the right hock, then on December 22, a dog which suffered a fractured hock was euthanised in Palmerston North, he said.
A hock is a dog's equivalent to a human ankle.
