When buying a dog, it is best to go to a professional kennel to buy it, because professional kennels are generally more formal, guaranteed~naturally, and the prices will be comparable. expensive. Secondly, you can also buy it from some families who grow it. When buying, it is best to see the parents of the puppies and get some understanding of the parents' situation.

When purchasing a puppy, the best time is between 2 and 6 months old. Newly born puppies have poor survival skills and are extremely difficult to raise. Dogs older than 6 months old have already established a friendship with their owners. It takes a lot of energy and time to make them forget the old owner and establish a relationship with the new owner. And the bad temper generated at this time is difficult to correct. Puppies aged 2-6 months can quickly adapt to the new environment, establish a strong friendship with the new owner, and are easy to train.

The following ten points must be paid attention to when purchasing puppies

1. Eat, drink, play, house and penetrate the appetite normally They are the four major needs for the normal growth of puppies. Puppies that have just had a change of environment, food, or motion sickness may have a temporary decrease in appetite. However, puppies with serious dehydration, underlying diseases, gastroenteritis and physical pain will also lose their appetite. In this situation, prospective dog owners should maintain a cautious attitude. Ask the waiter about the feeding time, and then arrange a visit to observe the changes.

2. No nasal discharge: Pets will have a runny nose if they catch a cold, have a sensitive nose, or experience upper respiratory tract problems. After being sensed by bacteria, the infiltration will turn into milky white, yellow or green pus. Others if food spurts out of the nostrils indicate eating too quickly, problems with the swallowing system, or structural defects.

3. No Coughing Dogs catching cold, sore throat, air pollution, tracheitis and bronchitis can all cause puppies to cough. Severe cough and excessive phlegm can lead to reduced appetite and poor nutrition.

4. Moderate stature. Fat or thin stature has always been a traditional indicator used to measure nutritional status. If you are frail and have insufficient physical strength, your immune system will naturally be affected, making you prone to illness and slow recovery. There are two points that need to be mentioned in particular:

(1) The goal of fatness and thinness is the figure under the hair; (2) People with a big belly are not necessarily fat. The chest and ribs of puppies who are usually fat or thin should be evenly covered with muscles and fat, without anyIt's easy to understand and touch it one by one. If you push it gently with your hands, the chest will be as obvious as a washcloth. Even if it has longer coat, this dog is too thin. In addition, the fatness of a dog can also be measured by the thickness of the muscles behind the abdomen.

5. Transparent eyes The cornea of ​​the eye (the frontmost part of the eye) is transparent, allowing people to understand and see the color of the pigment layer of the eye. Hepatitis virus can turn the cornea blue; foreign matter entering the eye or trauma can cause the eye to swell and close tightly, or the mucous membrane (the white part of the eye) to turn red or the cornea to turn white. It is found that canine distemper virus and other ophthalmitis diseases can cause excessive eye infiltration and suppuration.

6. Hygiene The hygiene of puppies can reflect the environment and quality of care. Many infections and parasites are spread through feces or body fluids. Therefore, being covered with feces can indeed reduce the chance of contact with the disease itself; even if the puppy is raised alone, if the puppy licks dirt, the chance of gastrointestinal discomfort will also be greatly increased.

Seven. No pain. If the puppy does not eat but just bends its back and sighs, special check is needed to see if it has stomachache. Belly pain is one of the symptoms of enteritis and hepatitis. If the puppy screams in pain when walking around, or even refuses to walk around, special inspection should be made to see if there are any musculoskeletal injuries on the skeleton, limbs, or limbs.

8. Normal poop. Normal puppy poop is in the shape of mud and glue. Newly changed conditions, food or excessive feeding, worms and enteritis can all cause diarrhea in puppies. If the stool is softer than toothpaste or contains transparent mucus, you should pay attention to it.

9. Red. Open the dog’s lips and you will see the red color of the teeth. Severe malnutrition, parasites, hematopoietic disorders, or shock will cause the red color to turn pale.

10. No pus blisters and excessive dandruff. Dry skin, skin sensitivity or ectoparasites will cause the dog to scratch or lose a lot of dandruff. If the environment is dirty or neglected, the skin is prone to red spots and pustules. Although these are not serious diseases, if they are not properly taken care of, they can still seriously affect the appearance and smell of the puppies, making the owners worried. Finally, prospective dog owners should check the puppy’s vaccination record and verify the dog’s separate information.
