Fun in the sun with your staffy
Taking your staffy to the beach is a great way to ensure your pup gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. The sights, sounds and smells are sure to bring out those gorgeous staffy smiles!
However with their stocky build, short fur and predisposal to skin conditions, it’s important that you follow water and sun safety precautions to ensure their next trip to the beach is safe and happy.
Keep your pup safe with a staffy life jacket
Staffies are wonderfully talented, but one thing they aren't renowned for is their swimming abilities. Many staffies tend to avoid water and therefore never learn to swim, making pawrents a little nervous when they’re around water.
A staffy life jacket is essential for all aquatic adventures, from swimming to boating and paddleboarding, and also when relaxing poolside. They help to keep your staffy afloat and give them extra confidence in the water and when learning to swim.
Why not paddle over and check out our Australian made dog life jackets today! Available in four vibrant summer colours, a small staffy will usually fit a size L. Be sure to double-check their measurements against our size chart to confirm which size is best for your staffy.
Step out in style with our adorable staffy beach rashies
While sunburn can affect all breeds, staffies have short fur and often light skin, making them particularly susceptible to sun exposure. Staffies are also prone to experiencing skin conditions, which can be irritated by contact with itchy sand.
So how can you protect your staffy from the elements? With our premium UPF 50+ dog rashies of course! Our dog rashies are proudly Australian Made and come in a range of seriously stylish designs.
The beautifully soft lycra blend provides a physical barrier, reducing the amount of sand that can get caught in your staffy's fur. Importantly, our staffy beach rashies also provide all day sun protection so they can enjoy carefree fun in the sun.
Find the right size beach rashie for your staffy
Most American Staffordshire Terriers will wear either a size L or XL Sandy Snoots beach rashie. Supawmodel @meeka_and_co (pictured) is a small staffy and wears a size L.
