Hi and welcome from me and the Monster

As Caryll says, once we know a bit more someone will def be able to help

Hi Caryll

Shes going on 6months at the end of April, at the moment im giving her vets choice??? In terms of exercise i tug the rope with her everday for an hour. She likes to chew everything, the wall, clothing, haha anything she gets her paws on?

Hi and welcome Does she get walked at all?

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me

How many walks does she get each day and for how long ?

Does she have chew toys, something like the stag bar would be great

Thanks

Will be participating more as i find my way around the site
Compliments to all of you and you staffys
I run her every second day for about 1/2 an hour, but i sprint her, haha she doesnt like to jog slowly or just walk, lots of energy

Stag toy?

I had this trouble with Alfie... I have upped his walking time and he now has a stag bar and a kong filled with treats. This definitely keeps him occupied and he hasnt chewed anything for weeks now! So I wouod definitely recommend that

It is a lot to do with the exercise amount then tbh. Staffords are high energy breed and need at least one good long walk per day or two shorter walks if possible. Logan is fairly low energy but without his daily walks he'd be a total nightmare. I suggest upping his exercise to at least a daily walk, allowing time to explore and socialise whenever possible.

Hi and welcome from us and Suki

Stag bars are deer antlers cut into manageable sizes for dogs to chew:

Okay will up the walks to once a day
Which is the best food to feed them though?
every second vet or person recommends a different food so its confusing

I don't think I would run on hard ground until she was at least one year old . I suggest just walking ( 2 lots of half hr a day at her age ) or running on grass or sand . This was the advice given to me by my vet and the breeder of my pup.
Welcome to the forum

I forgot to say I would try to feed something hypoallergenic like James well beloved , Arden grange etc .

Any one of these foods would be OK:

Rockys has the Barking Heads, which is also hypoallergenic, and the one I would recommend, try to get some free samples and see which one she likes best.

Thanks everyone, will be implementing the advise received.

Back to work now

enjoy

Welcome to the forum

Welcome Nahla is gorgeous! At her age she should be getting two or three walks a day (about 25 minutes each). If they don't get the right exercise, they have a lot of pent-up energy which will be released in other ways, like chewing and generally being a nightmare. Upping her walks should see the problems go away or at least lessen a lot. A StagBar is great for them to chew on too, as well as a Kong.
