How much do Salukis shed?

The Saluki is a low-shedding breed, which is great news for those who prefer a lower-maintenance coat. Their coat is smooth and short, with a fine texture that feels sleek to the touch. They have a light-shedding pattern year-round, with slightly more during seasonal changes in the spring and fall.

Grooming a Saluki is relatively straightforward, and helps keep their coat healthy and reduces shedding. A grooming session once a week should suffice to remove loose hairs and keep their coat looking its best. 

For brushing, a soft bristle brush works well to remove loose hair and keep the coat smooth. A grooming mitt or a rubber curry brush can also effectively manage shedding and adding shine to their coat. Occasional baths every six weeks or so can help keep their coat clean and healthy.
