How to avoid buying a Zhou dog?

Question: When I buy a dog, can I bring a parvo-canine distemper coronavirus test paper with me and bring it back after the test shows that he is not sick?

Answer: You can take it for testing, at least you won’t buy a dog that is already sick. However, the results of the test paper are not necessarily accurate. As mentioned above, the incubation period of the virus cannot be measured, nor can the serum of dogs.

Question: If I go to buy a dog, what is the most appropriate test?

Answer: Choose the kind of dog that the seller has said has received at least one shot of vaccine, and then take it to test for antibodies. If you can draw blood, buy your own antibody test strips (a set of parvovirus can cost more than 100) If you don’t know how to draw blood, take it to the pet hospital for testing (at least 200 to 300 yuan).

Testing for antibodies has the following benefits:

① Understand whether the seller is honest enough or not, and whether he did not take a single shot of the vaccine but deceived you into taking a few shots;

② Know where the current antibody index of this dog is;

③ Having antibodies does not mean that you will not be infected. Dogs with unqualified antibody index are still susceptible to infection, but compared with dogs that have no vaccine and no antibodies at all, the cure rate is higher and the treatment cost is much cheaper;

Interpretation of market misleading:

Sometimes there will be a situation where the new owner takes the antibody test and the antibodies for each virus are all white (no antibodies at all), but the seller says that the puppy has been vaccinated. , the vaccine just failed to immunize. Is this really the case, or is the seller lying?

After a few shots of the vaccine, the antibody tests for all viruses are still blank. There are only the following possibilities:

Possibility ①: All the antibody test strips have expired and are broken so they cannot be tested (manual smile);

Possibility ②: All the vaccines given by the seller are fake or invalid. Even the domestically produced vaccines are not counterfeit and imported, they are just like clean water without viruses;

Possibility ③: The puppy’s physical condition is completely poor, and its immune system is inherently defective. It cannot produce antibodies to the virus and has no ability to remember the virus (it does not produce antibodies and does not actually get sick because of the vaccine?) , this is not a short-term problem, and future vaccinations may not be effective. How long you can live depends on your fate~

In fact, as long as the vaccine is genuine, regardless of whether it is domestically produced or imported, the probability that all antibodies to various viruses will be zero after a few injections is extremely low and basically exists in theory.

Even if you only get one shot of vaccine, antibodies to all viruses will not be detectable, let alone several shots.

Question: So where should I go to buy puppies so that I can avoid "weekly dogs"?

Answer: You can choose a domestic kennel or a mid-to-high-end pedigree kennel, or one that can be signed for half a month.Monthly (weekly package is not reliable, let alone the kind of shady store that "is not responsible when you go out") local pet store

Domesticated (the kind with a good environment, not those faked as "domesticated" by backyard breeding):

Because puppies are only born occasionally at home, and the big dogs and puppies live with their owners every day, in a natural environment Well, if you eat well, your physical foundation will be very good;

In addition, there are no viruses, and the possibility of contracting the virus is very low. Therefore, even if you take the baby back to his new home after one month, without a single shot of vaccine, the probability of contracting parvovirus is still very low.

Of course it’s not completely impossible. In our patient group, some of the domestic puppies we bought were infected and sick. However, the group members specifically mentioned that the environment in which the puppies originally lived was not good.

Mid-to-high-end kennels (low-end kennels are not mentioned because many domestic dog kennels call themselves kennels, and many low-end kennels are actually pedigree dog farms):

Mid-to-high-end kennels The puppies in the kennel are all double-blooded. If one of them is not vaccinated or prevented from viruses, they will lose at least several thousand, and they cannot afford the loss.

And this type of kennels usually go to a new home in two or three months, and at least two or three shots of vaccine are given. There are also cases of parvovirus not long after arriving in the new home, but the probability is much lower.

Local pet shops (the kind that sign a half-month and one-month contract, short-term, non-local ones will not work):

Note that there are also many pet shops that sign a "how long" contract. One thing, it is another thing to be "responsible" after the puppy becomes sick, so the contract must specify how long it will take for the canine distemper virus to appear and how the seller will be responsible.

Some people will say: "You treat first, and after the doctor dies, I will buy you a new one at half price" (this so-called half price can earn him hundreds more);

Some people will say: "Which hospital you go to for treatment will get half the medical fee (so-called equal sharing... but they actually cooperate with this hospital)";

Some will say: "Give me back the sick dog, and I will give you a new puppy." (At this time, if the new owner has feelings for the puppy, he will be reluctant to exchange it out (because some sellers will not spend money on treatment). Instead of throwing it away), he was reluctant to let the puppy die, so he had to give up the seller's "after-sales service" and spend his own money for treatment).

Also... just block them, deny them directly, and call the police is useless!

Therefore, the after-sales service of the bag must be written clearly, otherwise it will be the new owner who will suffer.

Also, why emphasize that it must be a local "pet shop"?

Because in the local area, you are close, and your friends are also close. If the pet shop owner doesn’t admit it, no one will care if you call the police, but you can ask a friend to help block the shop directly~ (Smile manually, The year before last, some friends in our group used this method, and it worked!)

Minefield ①: Claiming to be "domesticated", but actually there are a lot of puppies of various breeds, and you can get whatever you want. This is fake domesticated, without the "cheap" advantage of the dog farm, but it really spreads the shortcomings of the dog farm;
