The term 'pit bull' broadly refers to several breeds, including the American Bully, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Bulldog. There's an ongoing debate about which breeds precisely fall under this umbrella, with some insisting the American Pit Bull Terrier is the only true pit bull. This classification often stems from their shared characteristics and history despite the variance in breed standards and appearances. Our vet clinic recognizes the importance of understanding these distinctions to promote responsible ownership and care.
