Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of a Sloughi?

They generally live 12–15 years. With balanced nutrition, eye and joint checks, and climate care in India, many Sloughis thrive well into their senior years.

How much does a Sloughi cost in India?

Prices range between ₹3–5 lakhs, depending on pedigree and breeder reputation. Always verify health certificates and testing.

Are Sloughis suitable for Indian homes and climate?

Yes, but they need protection from heat. Sloughis do well in India if exercised during cooler hours and given shaded or air-cooled resting areas.

What should I feed my Sloughi in India?

A mix of premium kibble or fresh-cooked meals (boiled chicken, rice, pumpkin, spinach, eggs). Adding omega-3 oils and joint supplements helps active hounds.

How much exercise does a Sloughi need daily?

At least 90 minutes of activity, including runs and brain games. Without this, they may become anxious or destructive.
