What nutritional needs are essential for a healthy Sloughi?

Sloughis need high-quality protein, moderate fats, complex carbohydrates, and gentle, science-backed nutrition to support their unique physique and active lifestyle.

Sloughis are sighthounds: lean, fast and built for short bursts of speed. Their diet should centre on easily digested, high-quality proteins - chicken, beef, lamb or salmon - to preserve muscle without adding unnecessary bulk. Freshly prepared proteins, gently cooked, retain more of their natural nutrients.

They benefit from moderate amounts of healthy fats for stamina, but those fats should be balanced so weight stays in check. Complex carbohydrates such as sweet potato, brown rice and oats release energy gradually and support digestion - important for a breed prone to sensitivity. Key nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 help maintain heart and joint health over the long term. Choosing limited-ingredient, gentle formulations also helps keep digestion calm. Marleybones meals include natural prebiotic sources, such as chicory root and yucca, to support a healthy gut.

What factors should owners consider when choosing food for a Sloughi?

Select meals based on activity level, digestive tolerance, life stage, hydration needs, and ingredient quality.

Every Sloughi is different. Some will lead a calm, relaxed life; others will sprint and play daily. Match their calorie intake and nutrient density to that routine. Digestibility is equally important - slow-cooked meals preserve nutrients and are often gentler on sensitive stomachs. Moist, fresh food also supports hydration, which is valuable for lean, energetic dogs.

Sloughis thrive on complete and balanced meals suitable for all life stages, so owners can avoid switching diets as they mature. Marleybones Pantry Fresh® meals are thoughtfully portioned and nutritionally balanced, making feeding straightforward from puppyhood to senior years.

Find your dog's perfect meal

How can you keep a Sloughi healthy through nutrition and routine?

Consistent, portioned meals, balanced exercise, and targeted supplements help keep Sloughis fit, lean, and content.

Smaller, measured meals are more effective than one large feed. They help preserve lean muscle and reduce the chance of digestive upset. Regular short bursts of exercise - sprints, play or agility - suit a Sloughi's natural energy and help regulate appetite and body condition. For dogs with sensitive digestion, omega-rich oils and gentle, gut-supporting supplements can make a difference.

Adjust portions as seasons or activity levels change, and monitor body condition rather than just weight. Always provide fresh water and consider hydration-supportive treats between meals. A calm routine and attentive care make a lasting difference to a Sloughi's wellbeing.

• Portion-controlled, regular feeding to maintain muscle tone
• Daily activity aligned with their energy levels
• Plenty of fresh water and hydration-friendly treats

FAQ

How many calories does an adult Sloughi need daily?

The average adult Sloughi typically requires around 900 to 1,300 calories per day. Exact needs depend on size, age and activity - very active or working dogs will sit at the higher end of that range.

Can Sloughis have food sensitivities or allergies?

Yes. Sloughis can sometimes react to fillers or artificial additives. Fresh, gently cooked meals with limited, high-quality ingredients often lower that risk and support steadier digestion.

What's the best feeding schedule for a high-energy dog?

Splitting your Sloughi's daily allowance into two or three meals helps maintain consistent energy levels and supports digestion. Regular mealtimes also make appetite and weight easier to manage.

Are fresh, slow-cooked meals better than shelf-stable, long-shelf-life options?

Fresh, slow-cooked meals like Marleybones Pantry Fresh® often retain more natural nutrients and moisture. This supports better hydration and easier digestion compared with many conventional long-shelf-life options.

Which Marleybones meal is most suited for a highly active Sloughi?

All Marleybones hero meals - Chic Chicken, Boss Beef, Lush Lamb and Sassy Salmon - are complete and balanced for active dogs. Choose based on your dog's flavour preference and any specific dietary sensitivities.
