How to choose when buying a dog

Mental outlook: the dog’s mental outlook is an important sign of his health, a healthy dog should be lively and active, that is, to show curiosity about new things at the same time should also have a sense of fear. Ear: In the selection of a puppy is the first thing you have to do is to put him in a smooth place, and then use your hand to ring his side or the back of his head, if the puppy actively look in the direction of the source of sound to find, that his hearing is normal. Then turn his ears outward and observe the condition inside the ears. If there is odor or sticky attachment, swelling, trauma, bleeding, etc., it proves that there is damage to his inner ear or ear parasites. Mouth: The examination of the mouth is mainly in the areas of secretions, teeth and gums. A healthy dog’s mouth will not have any unusual secretions other than saliva. The teeth of a healthy dog should be white. The dog’s gums should be pink if his gums are gray, there is a possibility of internal bleeding or weakness nutritional deficiency or congenital anemia and other problems. Nose: the dog’s nose in a healthy state is moist (just woke up the dog’s nose is dry, healthy dogs are also), and the color of the runny nose is transparent clear snot, if it is yellow thick snot and accompanied by a cough, it means that the dog has suffered from some kind of respiratory disease. When selecting a dog, you can use your hand to squeeze some food and shake it in front of his nose, if he chases your hand with your shaking, it means his sense of smell is fine. Eyes: The dog’s eyes should be clear and clean. Bloodshot eyes, white membranes on the eyeballs, large amounts of droppings in the corners of the eyes and protruding flesh in the corners of the eyes (indicating a problem with the tear ducts) are all signs of unhealthiness. When selecting a dog, you can put him in a high place and shake your hand in front of his eyes, observe his reaction if he shows fear and does not jump down and follow the shaking of your hand with his eyesight is normal. Coat: Check the dog’s skin to prevent skin diseases and surface parasites, if the skin color is light pink, the skin is healthy. This time you can focus on the dog’s mouth, ears, armpits and thighs skin, because these places are very easy to grow mites, if the skin is in blocks or flakes of red means that his skin has been infected with mites or fungus, it is recommended that you do not pick because this disease is very troublesome to treat and easy to relapse. Excrement: the dog’s excrement is also a criterion of the dog’s health or not, if the dog has diarrhea, the stool is very thin that his digestive system problems, or the intestinal flora is damaged, the worst is the micro virus. If you can’t see his excrement then you can lift his tail to see if there is poop stained around the anus, generally only dogs with diarrhea will have poop stuck to the hair around the anus. Pace: the normal pace of the dog we have seen, if the dog’s pace is not normal may be because it is too small, muscles and bones are not mature, three months after the dog’s pace has problems indicating that the bones are injured or have been injured. There are also some dogs due to brain damage can also cause sequelae in terms of action, so please be careful when selecting. Body temperature: 38~39 degrees is the normal range. Foot pads: adult dogs’ foot pads are plumper and stronger; puppies’ foot pads are softer and more delicate. If some dogs’ foot pads are dry and cracked, it means malnutrition, and if the puppy’s foot pads are hard, it may be a pre-demonstration of distemper.
