What brush should I use for my Staffy?
Bristle brushes are specifically designed to provide a gentle, smooth brushing experience for your dog. The bristles ensure this by being tightly packed together and made from soft materials. These bristles will penetrate your staffy’s fur and remove all the loose hair/dirt that’s been driving both of you nuts.
Do Staffies need brushing?
The Staffie’s coat is short and smooth and needs only a quick brushing once a week.
How can I stop my Staffy from malting?
Brushing will help keep your Staffy’s coat and skin in excellent condition; brushing not only grooms the hair but also massages the skin and helps blood circulation. In addition, it helps to hydrate the skin keeping it as supple and healthy as possible.
Are Staffies smelly dogs?
Staffies don’t have a strong ‘doggy’ odor. Gently wash your dog’s ears once a week with a vet-approved cleanser to remove dirt that can cause infections, and trim his nails once a month to avoid painful cracking.
How often should you walk a Staffy?
How much exercise does a Staffordshire Bull Terrier need? Staffies tend to have bags of energy and will gladly accompany their owner on as many as 3 walks a day. As a minimum, your Staffie will need 2 walks a day with some energy-filled playtime in the middle.
How often should Staffies be bathed?
It is important not to shampoo too frequently though, as frequent bathing will strip the natural oils secreted by your dog making them prone to dry skin in wet and cold weather. Just 3 or 4 times a year should do the trick, or when your Staffie is particularly dirty or ‘fragrant’.
Do Staffies like to swim?
Do Staffies Like Swimming? It could be a matter of confidence; for example, many Staffies will happily paddle on the edge of a lake, river, or pond, but they won’t venture into deeper water. On the other hand, other Staffies love to swim and will jump in any body of water they come across.
How often should you feed a Staffy?
If you have a staffy who isn’t particularly fussed about eating their food, you may want to feed them just once per day. Since staffies do tend to love their meal times, many owners find a twice per day schedule to be best for a grown staffy; once in the morning and once at night.
