Please Help Staffy&More
1)My friend has a staffy, he tells me thats is a good dog, and i should get it, but he also told me that staffies like to grab things and not let go, and that get their aggression. Is it true?
2)If i flight for example to Portugal on holiday, with plane can, and how i get my dog with me? Is it expensive to Transform, dogs? Plus I need transform there and after back!
3)And how much adult Staffy, eats, (how much £ i need to spend a month)

Re: Please Help Staffy&More
hia from me and sasha
your friend is right staffies are good dogs,unfortunately some owners are not ,which has lead to the breed some times getting a bad name,if when you mean staffies like to grab things and not let go that they lock their jaws that is just a mith and not true.as for the flying part i'm sure if you contact your air line you are flying with they can advise you.i feed sasha once a day but different members on here will feed twice just smaller portions,i spent around £50 a month on sasha's food,with treats as well included,hope this helps

Re: Please Help Staffy&More
The Staffy is not an aggressive breed of dog so long as they are well socialised from a young age and bought up correctly.
Contact the airport from where you would be travelling from to find out their policy regarding animal travel.
The cost of good quality food does vary, find a food your dog likes and stick with it, try not to keep changing around with different brands, list of recommended foods below:

It doesn't look like a premium food to me?
When looking at the ingredients you want to look for a high percentage of meat, avoid anything that says 'meat and animal derivatives' This is a good site for comparing foods

Stella
if you feed your dog 1 a day, if you go on walk or if your dog is home, how many times he-she goes to toilet?

Re: Please Help Staffy&More
I know that you are asking Stella, but a dog should eliminate 1-3 times per day. Amounts depend on quality of food etc. Feeding raw actually gets volume down and frequency down as the dog is able to use almost all of the food rather than being full of filler that passes through the body. Puppies will need to be fed more than 1/day though and will go more as they are much smaller. They should be peeing every few hours.

Re: Please Help Staffy&More
Not really. Depending on what you feed, it can be comparable to a good kibble diet. Really, I do it because my dogs do better on that diet. Ella, our resident raw expert put this thread together and you can get some great ideas from her including costs and places to get stuff (don't know where you are from - it is really UK info, so if you are like me and from another country, you may have to do the leg work yourself). https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/t14787-raw-diet

Re: Please Help Staffy&More
To feed 3 staffords raw it costs me about £55 per month. They defecate (go for a poo!) about once a day.
