The biggest guarantee for buying a healthy dog is to buy it directly from the farm. The probability that dogs in farms are infected with serious infectious diseases is basically zero. If a serious infectious disease occurs in the kennel, it will be a disaster! The place is limited, generally remote, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it easily. Therefore, most of the first generation brothers who have pets will choose dogs in the pet market. In the pet market, dogs from all over the world come together for the same goal, that is, dogs with no immunity or complete immunity are most vulnerable to serious infectious diseases. Familiarity with the market operation is the first condition to avoid buying a dog for a week.
The time to choose dogs is usually after noon on Saturday, because pet shops generally require farms to transport puppies to the market when Saturday approaches, so that consumers can buy them when they are free on Saturday and Sunday. After noon on Saturday, basically all the dogs arrived at the "shelf". Of course, in business, time is money. Going to buy a dog at noon on Saturday can not only have the most choices, but also minimize the puppy's stay in the market, naturally avoiding the infection of serious infectious diseases to the greatest extent.
It should be mentioned here that when buying a dog, you should "leave" the market as soon as possible, but don't take the newly bought puppy to the pet shop enthusiastically. And don't treat your new puppy as a "goodwill ambassador". Establish a "good-neighborly and friendly" relationship with other puppies in the market. Immunized puppies are not new "Miss Hong Kong", nor do they represent their owners to undertake the mission of publicity.
Look for clues about infectious diseases
Nothing is completely invisible. There is no trace of birds in the sky, but there is always a call. Although infected puppies look no different from healthy puppies, they just "look". If you look closely, you can always see some clues.
Observing the dog's anus is a common method. Sounds like picking dogs, like picking old hens. However, picking the hen's ass is to see if the hen has laid eggs, and looking at the puppy's anus is to see if the puppy has signs of diarrhea. Unlike picking a chicken, picking a chicken needs to blow the hair on its ass with your mouth, while picking a puppy is much more elegant and can be seen with your eyes.
If there is too much secretion in the dog's eyes, it means that the dog has a certain risk of inflammation. Of course, this may not be a sign of a serious infectious disease, or it may just be eye inflammation. Not sure? It doesn't matter, but also check whether the dog has a runny nose and cough. If so, the correct way is to put the puppy down immediately and find a place to wash your hands with soap. Of course, generally speaking, except rabies, serious infectious diseases of dogs will not be transmitted to people through this contact. Hand washing is only to avoid bringing germs and viruses to other puppies.
