The Sloughi should be fed high-quality dog food, either professionally prepared or prepared at home with your veterinarian's permission. And they must be served at least 3-4 cups of dog food regularly. Keep an eye on the dog's calorie consumption and weight because certain breeds are prone to obesity. Treats can be an effective educational tool, but too many of them can lead to obesity. Find out which human diets are suitable for dogs and which ones aren't.

Like most short-coated breeds, the Sloughi sheds moderately. Others prefer hypoallergenic hair or none at all. Pet dog shedding is a big problem for all pet owners, but hypoallergenic dog breed owners have one less thing to think about. As a result, this breed is ideal for those who are allergic to dog hair.

Grooming is essential for your Sloughi's appearance, fitness, and well-being. A long, matted coat can be very uncomfortable and distracting for your Sloughi if left unattended. Brushing and brushing your Sloughi dog will also serve to reinforce the bond between you and your pet. Brushing can be a pleasurable, stress-free, and relaxing experience for both you and your Sloughi.

Brushing and grooming your Sloughi dog is expected regularly. As a Sloughi owner, you must keep an eye on the state of your dog's hair, watching for tangles, mats, or dullness that indicate a brushing is necessary.

The Sloughi, as a sighthound, is a rather energetic breed. In a securely fenced field, he needs a lot of space to run. This is not the dog for a sedentary family who rather sits on the sofa than go on a stroll in the park.

While many people want their dogs to use treadmills during inclement weather, they are not a replacement for running outdoors. They will easily be taught to play fetch, which can occupy both the dog and the children for hours. Sloughis are known for their pace, agility, and endurance, and Owners should exercise them for at least an hour a day. They'll be overjoyed until they're free to fly around without a leash.

The Sloughi is a relatively stable dog breed with an estimated lifespan of 12 to 15 years. Progressive retinal atrophy and susceptibility to vaccinations, anesthesia, and other drugs are among the health issues with this breed. They aren't subject to a lot of illnesses. However, sighthound peculiarities (such as Addison's syndrome, Gastric Dilation Volvulus, Laboratory Anomalies, Osteosarcoma)

They are devoted to their family. Therefore once you have a Sloughi, it is yours for life. They do not change homes easily. They are not a noisy hound, and like most hounds, seem to have an affinity with children. The best way to characterize a Sloughi's attitude is ''cat-like.'' He is quiet and aloof, but he is never afraid or timid.

This dog is loyal and caring, and the relationship between him and his family is unbreakable. Although the Sloughi is known as a one-person breed, he can quickly bond with the entire family. He is social with humans and needs his family's support and attention. He gets along with older kids who know how to deal with dogs, but he isn't a good fit for a family with little children. Sloughis are sleek, tidy, and quiet, but their stubborn hound temperament makes them a bad first-time dog owner pick.

The Sloughi is a faithful and intelligent breed with a reserved demeanour. He thrives in the company of sensitive and loving owners. It does well with an owner who is also compassionate, intellectual, and conscientious, as it does not adapt well to harsh or corporal training methods.

The Sloughi reacts better to positive reinforcement-based teaching. They have a good sense of themselves, which is evident when they are playing games or confronted with difficult situations. When a Sloughi is off the leash, as with other sighthounds, caution is required. Sloughi puppies need socialization, such as puppy classes and exposure to various new people and circumstances, to develop into well-adjusted adults.

The Sloughi, as a responsive sighthound, needs teaching strategies based on positive reinforcement values.

Sloughis are pack animals that love being with other dogs. Sloughi owners often have more than one Sloughi or mix Sloughis with other breeds. The Sloughi, on the other hand, likes to run after others. They get along better with sighthounds than other dogs, but they adore every dog they have grown up with. While ''same-sex violence'' is uncommon in this breed, it can take some time for individuals of the same sex and age to determine who the boss is.
