Welcome Smile

http://staffy-bull-terrier.co.uk/dryfood.html here's a link of what people consider the best brands. I feed Loki Wainwright's, which is meant to be good and a decent price if price is an issue. As for how much, just go by the guidelines and increase/decrease if and when you feel it's needed. Feed him about three or four times a day, I'd say.

Well, if he's getting vaccinated against diseases, don't take him out until whenever your vet says it's OK (with us it was two weeks after the second needle).

8 weeks old is the age most people take a pup. It allows them time to socialize with their littermates.

Hi & welcome.

Such an exciting time! Hope all goes well.

Firstly, if your breeder is any good, they'll give you a puppy pack which will have feeding guidelines & a couple of days supply of the food your pup is used to. If by any chance they don't. ( angry ) then you will need to feed him four times a day until 3 months, then three times a day until six months & then twice a day.

If you're going to change his food then do it gradually over about a week.

Give your breeder a ring to see what they supply. You could also ask them to include an old tea towel or similar that has been rubbed on his mum/siblings to make him feel a little less lonely for the first couple of nights.

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

See if you can get some samples pack of the food you want to feed and see which flavours puppy likes best. Rocky liked the James Wellbeloved duck the best.
