It's alright. I had no idea that Pedigree was a crappy food when I first got my girl as a pup until she started to become itchy and rubbing her face.
As for pit type dogs needing different requirements than other dogs.... yes they do.
-Just keep in mind that most have dog aggression as they were bred to fight other dogs.
Dog aggression is simply aggression towards other dogs... it does not mean they will show human aggression.
-They usually also have prey drive, like many other breeds, and could chase and possibly kill animals smaller than themselves such as cats.
--This means they need to be on leash and supervised near all other animals, but especially when near other dogs. Do not go to dog parks. Say you have another dog and they are getting along fine now... one day they possibly will not and you must be ready and willing to keep them separate from then on out. Most people crate and rotate their dogs that don't get along.
-Also, most are great escape artist... and for the safety of other pets in your area, it's best to have proper containment. For example, our dog can hop 6ft fences no problem. Some peoples dogs can climb trees like cats. Some peoples dogs dig their way out. An outdoor kennel with the top covered, a tie out, a zip line, etc. will help with containing your dog. You do not want your dog to be a neighborhood nuisance.
-Remember they have a bad reputation. People will look at your dog differently... will treat your dog differently... will be afraid of your dog for no reason... and some people will make rude comments. Try to keep your dog in a positive light at all times.
-Socialization with adults and kids!!!!!
