hi im feeding my dog a food called james well beloved Puppy, is this a good quality food?
also how often should my dog be exercising daily and for how long ect?

James Wellbeloved is a good quality food, Rocky used to eat this one. The amount of exercise undertaken would depend on the dogs aged. Would normally suggest 5 minutes of exercise for each month of age.

Agree with the above and 2-3 walks per day is okay.

Yes, James Wellbeloved is a good food.

5 minutes per month of age on lead walking, at least twice a day, prferably three times a day. But if you take your dog to the park you can add some off lead running around as long as he's allowed to rest whenever he needs to.

He looks a real cutie! Love Struck

Basically you can give him 3 walks of 20 minutes each per day. Plus, you can let him have some off lead play as long as he is allowed to rest whenever he feels the need to.

My wee boy is 13 weeks and just allowed out in the last couple of days but am finding it a bit hit and miss whether he wants to walk or not on lead. Are you finding any problems with this? BTW he loves off-lead exercise.

A piece of advice from a new staffie owner...........get pics on here or you will get constantly harangued Laughing
