Growth Chart

When Does a Sloughi Stop Growing?

Most Sloughis reach adult height of 24–29 inches by 15–24 months, with full body weight of 35–50 lbs achieved shortly after. Males fill out to 50 lbs while females reach 44 lbs.

Growth rate is influenced by genetics, diet quality, and spay/neuter timing. Needs daily running opportunities in a securely fenced area; they are less active than many sighthounds but still require regular sprinting time..

Is My Sloughi Overweight?

Is your Sloughi at a healthy weight? The ideal range is 35–50 lbs (males 35–50, females 29–44). Check these three signs:

Ribs: Easily felt with light pressure; not visible but not buried under fat
Waistline: A clear narrowing behind the ribs when viewed from above
Abdominal tuck: The belly slopes upward from the ribcage to the hind legs when viewed from the side

If your dog fails any of these checks, consult your vet. Relatively healthy with few breed-specific issues, though PRA testing is recommended and veterinarians should use sighthound-appropriate protocols..

Feeding Recommendation

Adult Sloughis (35–50 lbs) typically need 0.5 to 1.0 cups of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. Choose a large-breed formula to support joint health and manage the risk of Progressive Retinal Atrophy. Needs daily running opportunities in a securely fenced area; they are less active than many sighthounds but still require regular sprinting time.—adjust portions based on activity level. Budget $55–85/month for food costs.

Height plateaus around 15–24 months for the Sloughi, with males reaching 50 lbs and females 44 lbs at maturity. As a hound breed from Morocco, they continue filling out for several months after reaching full height.

For a Sloughi at healthy weight (35–50 lbs), you should feel ribs without pressing hard, see a defined waist from above, and notice an abdominal tuck from the side. As a large-sized hound breed, maintaining lean body condition is critical for joint health and can extend lifespan by 1–2 years.

A Sloughi puppy growing toward 35–50 lbs needs carefully measured portions. Feed 3–4 times daily until 6 months, then twice daily. With moderate energy levels (3/5), avoid overfeeding to prevent excess weight gain. Monitor body condition weekly and adjust as needed.

Poor weight gain in a Sloughi puppy warrants a vet visit. For a breed that should reach 35–50 lbs at maturity, slow growth can signal parasites (very common in puppies), underfeeding, food intolerance, or illness. Regular weigh-ins help track progress objectively. Your vet will likely run a fecal test and blood work.
