Saluki Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Saluki at Home
Grooming a Saluki at home can be simple once you know what their coat needs. Salukis have a smooth, silky coat that sheds moderately and can feature longer feathering on the ears, legs and tail. Although their coat is easier to manage than many curly breeds, it still benefits from regular care to keep it looking sleek and healthy.
Using quiet, easy to handle clippers can help you tidy the feathered areas without causing stress. Masterclip clippers are designed to be comfortable to use so grooming can stay calm for both you and your Saluki.
How Often Should You Groom a Saluki?
Most Saluki owners find this routine works well:
• Brushing once or twice per week
• Light trimming of feathering every 6 to 8 weeks
• Regular ear checks since their long ears can trap dirt
This level of care helps prevent tangles in the feathered areas and keeps the coat shiny.
Basic Grooming Steps for Salukis
• Brush the coat gently to remove loose hair and debris
• Use quiet clippers to tidy feathering along the legs, belly and tail
• Trim around the ears and paws with grooming scissors if needed
• Finish by checking the nails and ears
