Diet

Hi everyone,
I live in USA and I have an 11 months old English Staffordshire Terrier , my first dog ever. So far he is in a healthy condition. I’ve been feeding him since he was 3months old , Farmina ancestral grain lamb and blueberries, maxi puppy, which was great for him so far , but lately he lost his appetite in his kibbles plus he is having a lot of gas… I ordered the same brand but with chicken protein to see if he likes it but no interest in that either.
So now I am at the point when I probably need to make a change in his diet that’s gonna last for the next few years but I am struggling to find the perfect diet for him . I know that raw diet sounds great for him but I don’t have the necessary space and time to switch to that at this moment, so I am looking to see what you guys suggest when it comes to quality kibble brands that provide good nutrition and digestion. Also if you have any opinions about supplements , probiotics and chewing treats and bones , would be much appreciated!
Thank you all !

Hello and welcome!

I’m not very familiar with the US kibble market but I know that the Canadian Orijen or cheaper version Acana are amongst the highest rated for us here in Europe.

I have used both and can highly recommend!


PS, just a side question, is an English Staffy considered as a pitbull in the US ?

I think it's just a way of differentiating between the APBT and the SBT.
