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!! :)
