What things do you need to pay attention to when buying a dog? Do you also want to know? So what do you need to pay attention to when buying a dog for the first time? The following I share with you the first time to buy a dog precautions. First time to buy a dog precautions: choose the right dog for yourself before deciding to take a dog home in addition to understand the reality of combining their own and family, but also to understand clearly what kind of dog we really need, what kind of dog is most suitable for our family. 1. the needs of the dog’s body. Some dogs naturally like sports, more playful, they like to spend more time outdoors running and playing above. For example, hounds, and big golden retrievers (golden retrievers), Alaskan dogs, Labradors, they are born sports maniacs, full of energy. The owner needs to be able to spend enough time with them to walk or play. 2. The need for hair care. For dogs with long body hair, they need to be groomed regularly. For example, the snowy white Samoyed, curly-haired Bichon Frise, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Pekingese and so on. Many creative owners will groom their dogs with long beautiful coats into various fancy shapes or take them to a grooming store to keep their coats beautiful and shiny. This has certain requirements on the owner’s patience and economy. 3. dog size for space needs. Larger dogs generally refer to adult weight in 30-40 kg, 60-70 cm tall dogs, they have higher requirements for space compared to small dogs. If you are feeding a large dog think about whether you can provide the dog with enough living space. Due to the wide variety of dog breeds, in terms of size the larger ones are like wolves and the smaller ones are like cats. Different breeds of dogs also come in a wide variety of coat colors. It is not easy to classify so many breeds of dogs, so they are usually classified according to size and use. 4. health needs. In fact, it costs a certain amount of money to keep a dog. In order to provide balanced nutrition for the dog, it is necessary to provide not only the daily dog food, but also canned dog food, vitamins, etc., and even various toys for the dog. It also requires regular vaccinations and internal and external deworming, all of which cost some effort and money. As the dog gets older, the need for medical treatment increases. A larger working dog will have a shorter life expectancy than a smaller ornamental dog, for example, if a dog has a life expectancy of 7 years, it will probably develop various diseases after 4-5 years and require frequent hospital visits. A dog that lives up to 15-20 years, on the other hand, most of it does not start to increase its chances of getting sick until it is 12 years old or older. It’s up to the owner to weigh which dog is the one that will be acceptable to them. It is recommended to buy a dog that is 2 to 3 months old, so it is better to keep, vaccinations and worming should be done, and the probability of getting a week old dog will be much less. When the dog is 3 months old and does not need to be softened to eat dog food directly, you can buy a regular feeder. In addition, a point is to look at the dog’s personality and your financial ability. For example, dog food , 50 yuan per month – not capped, depending on the size of the dog, dog food brand. Puppy shots, $300-$600 for a puppy just brought home with good shots. Rabies vaccine, once a year, ranging from 60-200 a time. Shot in fact, some people do not play, the city to raise a pet dog is strongly recommended must be shot, daily contact, for your own health, but also have to play a good shot. Internal and external worming, one to many times a year, a 60-200 ranging. The importance of deworming is not repeated. It is essential. Unless your dog never goes out. Dogs that go out must not avoid having worms inside and outside their bodies. Non-essential but basically can not be less consumption: dog snacks accidental illness, pet dogs get skin diseases often things, especially hair more. And what gastroenteritis ah, even terminal illnesses can not be cured. Transportation costs of moving, my dog took two plane rides, each more expensive than my airfare, 1000 +. Because I work for myself to change cities, I will not abandon him. Temporary things in the pet store boarding, such as some friends to go home for New Year’s Eve, holidays out to play, the dog needs to be boarded, ranging from 30-100 yuan per day, depending on the city and the size of the dog calculation. Rent a house rent, which cost I dare say than the above are more and many people will ignore. No matter how clean you wash, please understand two facts: dogs have body odor, dogs shed hair all year round. Having a dog rented a room you have to plan the dog’s space. The larger the dog, the greater the space needs. First-tier cities a little larger house rent will be expensive how much I do not need to say it ~ In addition, renting a room you have to consider the surrounding dog walking convenience? Dog kennel dog toys traction ropes and other neutering, male dogs hundreds, female dogs thousands ~ I have a dog three years of expenses together estimated at least 15000, my dog is a medium-sized dog, eat not much, no disease, did not destroy any of my belongings, the cost is very, very little oh! And I did not put because it house to rent a larger, at least 500-1000 more per month to calculate the rent, after all, the house is large and comfortable to live on their own. Well the economic problems did not scare you away? Then continue ~ Where money can be used to deal with the problem, is not a problem. Time and energy spent on the correction of vices. Some dogs like to chew things, especially during the teething period. Shoes furniture to pay attention to ah, and garbage cans will be turned over Oh! Ready to come back from a day of work and see a messy home? There are so many tearing home pictures on the internet, I won’t put them up. These can be trained well, depending on how smart the dog is, you are not going to teach, ranging from one day to an indefinite period of time. Defecation training. My dog refused to pull at home, I did not train it, so I walked it at least twice a day, before it was four months old, I walked home from work every day at noon in the hot sun for 20 minutes to bring it out to pee, it is still a little unable to hold it, pulled in the stairwell I had to use a mop to mop up. So I can’t tell you how to train, except to say that you have to be prepared for a week to an indefinite period of time, and to come home and clean up the poop. Put up with odors in the house. Walk the dog. The above mentioned dogs that are not at home to pull have to be walked every day. The time and energy needed is obvious ~ and be aware that from now on you have to think about renting a room, there is a place to walk the dog? Walk the dog, but also pick up the poop Oh, civilized dog does not lose the face of our dog lovers. For various reasons take to the vet. For example, the above-mentioned regular injections la, suddenly sick la, need to foster la. Especially if you are suddenly sick, you need to take time off during the working day. I didn’t count on the loss of wages for the time off. Psychologically. Also easy to be ignored. Dogs stay at home by themselves for a whole day, do you feel distressed? If one day it accidentally left the human body, you can afford it? So, the breed you are suitable to keep, you need to make a judgment based on your actual situation.
