The most important thing about raising a dog is to choose a healthy dog ​​when you first buy a dog. Because there are too many unscrupulous businessmen and there are too many Zhou dogs on the market, so you have to have a pair of sharp eyes. To identify and choose a healthy dog, how to choose a healthy dog?

1. Choose a guaranteed way to buy a dog

It is necessary to observe the origin of the dog. Kennels that breed dogs have a formal registration system in the United States. Generally, those registered by AKC will have many regulations. If you are in China, you also need to look around, and asking local veterinarians is one of the ways. At least they know that the professional kennels around them provide regular vaccinations and physical examinations. A clean environment is important to avoid infectious diseases. It is also best to meet the dog’s parents to know whether they have a friendly personality and whether they are in good health.

Generally, if you buy from pet company breeding farms, pet chain stores, or from friends, you will be relatively safe, because many of them are guaranteed to be healthy and have been fully vaccinated. Don't go to those pet markets to buy. Most of them are sick dogs and week-old dogs. The cost of buying them to see a doctor is more than buying a dog. Moreover, if unfortunately they are not rescued, you will be even more sad.

2. Choose the gender of your dog

You also need to consider whether a male dog or a female dog. Male dogs are usually larger than female dogs and more lively; female dogs are more docile, kind, homesick, and especially like children.

3. We must observe carefully when purchasing, do not act too hastily, and pay attention to the following when observing:

When you first come into contact with a puppy, it walks towards you automatically and confidently, with bright eyes and a wagging tail. You can believe that it is a normal and healthy puppy. On the contrary, if it snorts and hides in the dark when you approach it, it is a puppy with a lonely personality. If you pet it gently with your hands and it jumps or barks loudly, this is a neurotic puppy born from "inbreeding", don't choose it.

4. Dog’s health

① Check to see if the dog has any birth defects. The most common ones are hernia and cleft palate. If the dog is older, it is better for male dogs to have two balls.

② Check to see if the dog is very thin and has a swollen belly (there may be roundworms)

③ Check to see if there are any problems with the ear, nose and throat, such as whether there is a cough or runny nose, whether there is a lot of dirt in the ears, and whether the oral mucosa is pink and moist

④Is the dog in good spirits?Is your mouth good?

5. The dog should not be too young, at least two or three months old. Check to see if the kennel has certificates of vaccinations and deworming

6. Is the dog close to you?

This is also very important. I believe it is the first priority for many dog ​​parents~~

Finally, and most importantly, adopt instead of buying!! Stray cats and dogs are also very cute, and they need a home~
