Don’t buy a dog in a pet store

There are cages on top of cages for dogs in a pet store. I didn’t understand it when I bought a dog for the first time. In fact, this is very risky for infectious diseases. Moreover, pet shops are a mixed bag, and there are too many unscrupulous dog sellers. If you want to buy, you must check carefully. Of course, dog farms and dog markets are even more unreliable.

Therefore, if you pay attention to breed and appearance, you can choose a reliable kennel, one registered with CKU and with a good reputation. If you just want to have a dog to accompany you and don’t care about the breed or quality, you can consider buying from a familiar friend, or buying a puppy from a raised dog (check carefully, there are unscrupulous traders pretending to be domestic dogs).

Be sure to conduct an on-site inspection

Don’t believe any online transaction that comes by air or train! Be sure to conduct on-site inspections of face-to-face transactions, so that you can see with your own eyes the dog’s living environment, the dog’s parents, and the dog’s true situation!

Don’t believe the propaganda on Taobao pages, WeChat, etc.

The Taobao page claims that it is a professional breeding farm and provides comprehensive after-sales services, including free foster care for two weeks every year, free lifelong physical examinations, free medical treatment, etc. It’s all nonsense! Everything is subject to the written agreement during the face-to-face transaction (written agreements are often not honored), don’t believe the propaganda on Taobao pages!

The Taobao customer service guide added the seller to WeChat. The dog video sent by the seller was super cute, but the on-site inspection was not consistent with the video. If you are looking at dogs online, be sure to ask the seller to take a photo of the specific dog to verify whether the video is authentic.

Understand market rules

Don’t buy a dog at a price lower than the market price! It’s absolutely unreliable to buy a dog with a breed price of less than 2,000 to 3,000 yuan! When signing a contract or written agreement, be sure to verify all the terms one by one. This is the only guarantee of rights (not yet It will definitely be cashed out), if the seller’s words mean “I’m not responsible for going out”, don’t buy it!

Physical examination on the spot

In order to prevent the boss from playing tricks, it is best to bring the test strips and learn to test them yourself! Learn in advance the preliminary observation of the dog’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and body surface.

Observation spirit

If it is very docile and does not yell or yell, it actually means that the dog is not mentally healthy and is very likely to be unhealthy. Of course, dogs that roar and bark and are extremely excited may be on stimulants, but overall, dogs who are lively, active, and in good spirits are healthier. Be sure to choose a dog that is lively and active and in a good mental state. A more aggressive dog is best and can be tamed slowly.

Observe eye secretions

Excessive eye secretions are also a health hazard. Be sure to buy a dog with clean eyes and no tear stains.

Observe the condition inside the ear

Make sure the inside of the ear is clean and the color is naturally pink.

Observe the condition of the nose

Be sure to choose one with a moist nose, not dryness, and no runny nose. Do not buy it if your dog is coughing or sneezing. youngIf your dog has a runny nose, it's probably not a common cold.

Observe your diet

When buying, feed on the spot and observe the eating situation. Do not buy a dog with a poor appetite. Be sure to buy a dog with a good appetite.

Observe feces

A healthy dog’s feces is strip-shaped, slightly moist and shiny. Be sure to see the dog's feces. It is best to wait for the dog to poop on the spot.

Have you been vaccinated?

Be sure to have a vaccination record before buying! Even if you have had one shot, it is certified!

Physical examination

Go to a professional pet hospital for a physical examination before buying it home to check whether the puppy has any diseases. If so, you can treat it in time. In addition, you can go to the hospital for deworming work.
