A week back I purchased a staffi by the way she looked it was perfectly clear she's done well with food at breeder's but now she's driving me mad  because she refuses dry food as weel as canned. I actually believe best food is dry food like eukanuba need a helping hand !!!!

My Staff does not particularly like Iams or Eukanuba.  He is now 5 months old.  The breeder said that is what they gave him, but we had great difficulty getting him to eat it.  I guess you are probably feeding him/her 3-4 times a day.  You may find that he/she is more hungry at certain meals.  Try some gravy - people say different things but an oxo cube is generally pretty good.  Or you could try some chicken and just mix it in.  Even then, I was on the floor with him trying to coax him to eat at times.  However, after he had a bout of diarroeah, my vet suggested just boiled chicken - and naturally he loved it!  So much so that I daren't try dry food on its own now, although he has had it a couple of times to finish off our supplies!  Now he eats Nature Diet original.  It is not actually a puppy formula, because he started a bit later on it, although they do a puppy formula that might be advisable for you.

Hope this is of some help, but if your Staff is refusing food, it is best to let the vet have a look and make sure there is nothing affecting his/her appetite.  I used to give my dobie Chappie, but since discovering Nature Diet have not looked back - sounds a bit like an advert!! :)
