Surprisingly, a Staffy’s coat has a great influence on its health, so it is suggested to speak with your veterinarian about the best diet for your dog. Generally, the recommended daily amount of food to give this breed is 1⁵/₈ to 2¼ cups of high-quality food per day, divided into two meals.

It is suggested to always measure your dog’s food intake and avoid leaving out kibbles for it to eat at any time. This way, you prevent it from becoming overweight.

If you feel your dog is a bit on the heavy side, place your thumbs along its spine and your remaining fingers on the ribs. Press the ribs lightly. If you cannot feel them, put your dog on a diet or give it more exercise.

Staffies are perfect for people with active lifestyles. This is because they are most happy when they are physically and mentally stimulated. They make wonderful running companions and will even enjoy playing puzzle games with you.

These dogs are very smart and learn quickly, but they can also be freethinkers. Because of this, you need to be patient and consistent when training them. It is advised to reward them for good behaviour instead of punishing them.

Staffies need early socialisation, especially if you want them to be friendly towards kids and other pets. If you are firm and confident, training comes easily.

If you’ve already found a Staffy puppy for sale in NSW, plan to give them lots of training from the get-go to help them develop into well-adjusted adult dogs.
