Before buying a dog, many novices often get deceived because they don’t understand dogs. Below, Taobao Street brings you some tips, hoping to help you choose a dog that suits you.

1. If you have really thought about raising a dog, then don’t be impatient and look for it slowly. If you have a dog at home, try not to buy one from a pet store. Buying a dog does not mean how much the dog is worth. The premise is that the dog is healthy. So how to determine whether the dog is healthy? If you don’t know how to read, buy test strips for parvovirus and canine distemper online and take them there for a test. If possible, take it to a pet store to check whether it is healthy before taking it home.

2. Most of the dogs in the dog market are recovered. After many hands, there are several relatively large dog distribution centers across the country ~ Dali, Foshan, Kaifeng, Henan, Chengdu, Sichuan, Tianjin, Anshan, Beijing, etc. Wait~

Then every Thursday or Friday, a large number of dogs will be sent to the market. There may be dozens of dogs in a cage, or seven or eight dogs in a cage, or some dog dealers collect dogs from other people's homes. Most newly acquired dogs will be given injections. Serum and the like~~~~ are used to prevent illness, or sick dogs will become energetic. I heard that serum usually lasts for two to three days~~

Now in July~~most dogs are very cheap, the cheapest I have ever seen. . . 250 for a VIP!!! Then 300 is transferred to another dealer, and then sold to a pet shop for 400, and the pet shop sells it to customers at a high price

Everyone follows the principle of low in, low out, and sell when you can make money. I heard from a shop owner that dogs that are taken back from outside usually die in one week, or at most 2 weeks. . . So even if you make 50 yuan, sell it!

I also have breeding dogs at home, but I never dare to sell them in the pet market because the virus in the pet market is too big~~~ Customers will touch other people’s dogs and then touch my own. The virus is too big and they really can’t be hurt, and the dogs The price of dogs in the market is very low. I am afraid that I will get sick~~~I can sell them for 50 RMB! My single-blooded Bichon costs 2,000 or more for a Bichon~~~The Bichons in the pet market cost 500~800 Most of the time.........you should be careful when choosing a dog!!!

3. Depend on what you, the soon-to-be dog owner, want to do with the dog, such as housekeeping, companionship, competition, etc. It’s easy to determine the purpose. Generally, pet dogs that are companions are Teddy, Bichon Frize, Poodle, and other docile small dogs. Of course, the housekeepers are large dogs like Tibetan Mastiffs and Caucasians. Breeding as companions like Satsuma, Golden Retriever, and Husky are all good choices.

4. When buying a dog, you must choose the right place. If you have enough money, you can go to a professional kennel to buy it. Generally, pet dogs bred in regular kennels have relatively high purity, are also very healthy, and their quality is guaranteed. It’s just that transportation is troublesome. On an airplane orOn the train, there is no one to take care of pet dogs. Big dogs are okay, but small puppies will definitely not be able to bear the bumps along the way. It is recommended to buy a dog from a local kennel as much as possible. You can also see real dogs, which is more reassuring. When buying a dog, try to confirm the dog through photos, videos, etc. Note: Make sure your pet dog has been vaccinated.

5. Try not to go to the dog market to buy. In the pet dog market, there are many dog ​​dealers selling some puppies or groomed native dogs. It is quite confusing, and they do not have stores and will leave at any time. Even if a sick dog is purchased, the dog dealer either refuses to admit it or has already left. No health protection.

6. Finally, it depends on the quality of the dog. No matter you buy a pet dog through any channel, you must first ensure that the dog is healthy. You need to be cautious when buying a dog. Be optimistic before starting. There is no harm in observing more. Look at the dog’s mental state, the dog’s stool, whether there are skin diseases on the dog’s body, etc.

Tips for showing pets: Based on the editor’s experience in the pet trading market, it is strongly recommended that newbies who buy dogs should not buy pets from unfamiliar pet stores such as 58.com and Ganji.com. It is best to buy pets from acquaintances. It is relatively reliable to report that a dog introduced or raised by a private owner has given birth (if you are a private owner, you must come to see the mother of the dog in person). I hope that novice friends will not blindly buy it, otherwise the money will be spent and the dog will be harmed. .
