Even if it is a dog farm or a pet store, it is not possible for every one to be good. The following are some aspects that you need to pay attention to when buying a Schnauzer. When you come to a dog farm or pet store, you need to observe the following aspects

1. Is the environment clean, spacious and bright?

What kind of environment a dog comes from is very important. If a dog originally lived in a dirty and small environment, it would move, urinate and defecate in the same place, and no one would clean it up in time after excretion. , the smell is so bad, then it will definitely not have good hygiene habits. After arriving in a new family, it will be difficult to train it to defecate outdoors. On the other hand, if the dog farm you see is very clean and bright, with kennels and activity areas, each dog will be taken out of the kennel regularly every day to exercise and defecate. After defecation, someone will immediately clean it up. Such a dog must be unwilling to dirty the place where he sleeps and lives. When he arrives at the new owner's home, it will be easy to teach him to defecate outdoors or in a fixed place. If it is a pet shop, most dogs are kept in cages. Likewise, you also need to check whether the dog cage is regularly kept clean and whether someone cleans it immediately after the dog urinates and defecates. Whether the dog is led out for outdoor activities and exposed to the sun, you should not just look at whether the sign of the store is beautiful or not, whether the decoration is stylish enough, but also whether there is an intolerable odor in the store. In addition to uncleanness, In addition to the reason, it is also likely to be due to sick dogs. The odor of sick dogs is usually cleaned away [2].

2. What kind of food do dogs eat?

If you see rice, porridge, some vegetables and meat mixed together to feed dogs, then this kind of food has too high starch and fat content, lacks calcium and trace elements, and most dogs will have varying degrees of rickets. , the skin and hair cannot grow healthily. In addition, due to production and preservation reasons, dogs who eat this kind of food are more likely to suffer from digestive tract diseases. You can know this by whether the dog's stool is formed and whether the color is normal. two. What's more serious is that dogs raised on this kind of food will be very greedy in nine cases. They will like to look for garbage and even eat it. Due to long-term eating of human food, it is impossible for them to receive anti-feeding training, so they will not refuse food given to them by strangers. If someone poisons you, you will definitely not be spared. Formal and scientifically managed dog farms must feed dogs with special dog food. Dog food should be fed regularly and quantitatively dry, and clean water will be kept separately so that it is clean and will not be wasted. The dog food used is specially formulated and produced according to the dog's growth and exercise needs. It has very comprehensive nutrients and is conducive to digestion, and the dog will grow very healthy. Dogs that have grown up eating dog food will make poisoners unable to do anything to them as long as they are trained to resist food.

3. What is the dog’s health and neurological status?

The Schnauzer you saw, if its hair is knotted, the replaced hair hangs on the body without anyone combing it, or there is feces or other dirt on the hair, then they must not have someone combing the dog's hair. Also, check to see if there are any sick dogs. As long as a dog is sick, especially bacterial or viral infectious diseases and skin diseases, then the dogs living with it are very likely to be infected, and you should not buy from this dog farm or pet store. dog. When selecting a dog, check whether the dog has runny nose or eye mucus, whether the ears are clean or not, and whether the nose is moist. As long as you find that one item is abnormal, you should carefully consider whether it is necessary to buy it.

In addition, if the dog is led out, is it afraid of strangers? If it hesitates, with its tail clamped and its eyes flickering, then such a dog must lack environmental exercise, so it will be difficult to adapt to the new environment. Are they vaccinated and what vaccines are injected? Vaccination is the only way to prevent dogs from contracting viral infectious diseases. Once unvaccinated dogs are infected with the virus, the mortality rate will be nearly 100%. Even if they survive by chance, they will have lifelong sequelae. Puppies usually receive the first vaccination at 6 weeks, and it needs to be repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, 3 times in total, and once a year thereafter. The rabies vaccine can only be injected when the child is over 3 months old. It can be injected once, and it will be done once a year in the future. Therefore, a dog may not complete puppy vaccinations until at least the 14th week. Dogs for sale must have a complete vaccination record appropriate to their age. The reason for emphasizing "approximately its age" is that there are many dogs that go to the veterinary hospital for treatment. They are only a little more than a month old, but their owners tell the veterinarian that the person who sells the dog told them that "all the vaccines have been given." , which is obviously unlikely. If a vaccine is used, you have to see what kind of vaccine they use and whether it is an effective vaccine? Due to technical reasons, the quality of domestically produced vaccines is not stable and is not the most effective method. Some of the imported vaccines are produced in the Netherlands and the United States. Since it is imported, insulation measures during transportation are extremely important. The storage temperature of vaccines is usually between 2 and 7┾C. Vaccines will become ineffective after 120 minutes above this temperature. A vaccine consists of two parts: freeze-dried vaccine and liquid vaccine. Turn over the bottom of the bottle containing the freeze-dried vaccine and take a look. If you see cracked dry powder, then the bottle of vaccine must have been frozen again after being melted at high temperatures, and is actually ineffective.

In addition, you should check the label of the vaccine bottle to see if it can be peeled off and stuck on the record card. There should be complete brand, expiration date, vaccine name and other information on the label. Once the label is removed, the used vaccine vial cannot be reused to prevent the possibility of being filled with counterfeit medicine.

4. Talk to the breeder or dog seller

When buying a Schnauzer puppy, don’t forget to pay attention to the conversation and conversation between the breeder and the seller. For example,A person who only advocates "getting rich by raising dogs" is unlikely to have a serious attitude and sense of responsibility for raising dogs, because the ultimate goal of such people is to make money, and making money is the first priority in their minds. The principles have changed so that they are unlikely to put the interests of the dog and the client first.

You should pay attention to whether their introduction is objective and detailed during the conversation; whether they can patiently answer questions and whether they have sufficient professional knowledge; in addition to recommending buying a dog, whether they will provide guidance and knowledge. introduction; and also want to know how their after-sales service is, whether they have technical guidance, and how to ensure the quality of the dogs. When it comes to guarantees, the common method used by foreign dog farms is to number the dogs' ears. The ear number is a lifelong mark of the dog and has the same function as a trademark. Therefore, if you see that the dogs for sale at this dog farm all have ear numbers, there is no need to worry that they will go out and not recognize the dog. At the same time, if you buy a dog with ear numbers, it will be very easy to prove the dog's identity and your ownership if it is lost or stolen and found. If the staff of this dog farm make you feel professional, trustworthy, and honest, you can buy their dog without any worries, because this also reflects the level of this dog farm in one aspect.
