Dog foster care during the Spring Festival:
1, judge whether the dog is suitable for foster care.
Not all dogs are suitable for foster care! Dogs are not suitable for foster care if they are timid, dependent on their owners and wary of strangers. In foster care, the dog will think that the owner has abandoned it, thus becoming sensitive and anxious, even not eating or drinking, hunger strike and so on.
2, check the foster care center information
If you decide to foster care, you must check the business qualification certificate of the foster care institution and the professional qualification certificate of the relevant personnel. In addition, you can also check the hygiene and food quality of foster homes in advance. You can also take your dog to get familiar with the environment in advance.
3, preparation 1-2 days.
If the dog is fostered, remember to prepare enough rations for the dog, which is generally 1-2 days longer than the foster days. If you are worried that the pet clerk will mistake the dog's dog food or give it to other dogs, then you can buy some sub-packaging bags and pack the dog food and snacks you want for every meal directly.
4. Prepare what dogs usually like to eat.
Prepare toys, towels, sleeping nests, etc. Dogs usually use it. Articles with their own smells will make pets feel more at ease and reduce the stress reaction caused by foster care. If it is inconvenient to carry a sleeping nest, you can take an old dress that you don't wear and spread it in the pet rest place.
5. Confirm whether there is a dog walking service.
Because most dogs are energetic, if they don't walk their dogs for a long time, they will lead to anxiety, bad temper, even depression and hunger strike. Nowadays, many foster families will build groups with the owners of foster dogs, and send some daily pictures of dogs regularly every day to observe whether the dog's diet, mental state and excretion are normal.
6. Confirm the foster care agreement
Whether it is a pet shop or a family foster care, it is easy to cause disputes. When fostering pets, it is best to sign a foster care agreement, stating the responsibilities of pets during foster care, so as to avoid disputes.
7. Confirm the time when the dog is vaccinated.
There are a large number of pets in foster care institutions, so it is necessary to confirm the time when dogs are vaccinated. If the vaccine is expired, remember to make it up first. Dogs sent to foster care institutions in this way may not be infected with bacteria and will not get sick.
8. Tell the dog's personality and habits.
When sending a dog to foster care, you must inform the dog's personality and habits in detail, so as to take care of the dog more conveniently and better.
