If you want to know if it has rabies, please look at the following symptoms, which are mainly neurological symptoms, such as: suddenly biting at the sky, relatively nervous, sometimes lack of energy, and loss of appetite. There is also runny. If the tail is tightly clamped, it proves that it is rabid. You can play with other dogs and don't get bitten. Rabies is not contagious, but if a rabid dog bites you, you will be infected. On rabies. 1. Prepare in advance.

Before buying a dog, you should make preparations. That is to say, you must at least know what kind of dog and what breed of dog you want to keep, so that you can be targeted and focus on it. What are the appearance characteristics of this kind of dog, how big is its body shape, what kind of colors does it have, and its approximate market price (prices online can only be used as a reference). If conditions permit, it is best to go online to look at this kind of dog puppies. Take photos of your dog as an adult and be prepared to avoid being deceived in the dog market.

2. Market selection.

The choice of market is equally important. Here I will only focus on regular kennels, large dog markets, and mobile vendors.

Regular kennels:

The characteristics of regular kennels are that the business address is fixed, the sources of dogs are mostly breeding dogs from well-known kennels at home and abroad, and the puppies are bred by themselves. The feeding procedures and techniques are specialized and standardized. Therefore, the quality and bloodline of the dogs are also very good. It is also because of the above reasons that the price is relatively high. Generally, it will be 2 times the price of the dog on the market, and it may be 4 to 5 times for individual competition-level dogs and popular dogs. However, with the development of the current pet industry, many kennels have begun to reduce prices significantly. After all, this is a market economy. Does any industry have to follow the law of supply and demand?

Large dog market:

This type of market is actually a bit like a monopolistic competition market in economics. The prices of each seller are basically the same, and each seller has some special varieties of its own. , prices are relatively low due to fierce competition. However, the source of the dogs in the breeding market is difficult to determine, some are good and some are bad, and most of these sellers are privately owned, so it is difficult to say how good their reputation is. Since it is a large market, dogs are concentrated, and the chance of disease transmission is relatively high. . This is why many friends who bought dogs from there will get sick when they get home.

Mobile vendors:

These people are like vendors selling pirated CDs on the street. If there are some hardcover pirated copies in the large dog market, then what they sell is definitely the pirated version. Piracy, parallel import among parallel imports. It's like shaving a puppy and telling you it's sand-skinned. The dots are spots. I guess if the puppy was born fat and had wrinkles on its body, it would be called sand-spotted! So I suggest you not to buy a dog from them, because you have no idea what kind of risks you are facing.

Okay, let’s get down to business now.

3. How to choose a healthy puppy.

Dogs are the same as people. If they feel uncomfortable, they will show it in their physical and behavioral characteristics. These aspects are mainly: mental appearance, ear, mouth, nose, eye secretions, hair, and excretion. Objects, walking posture, body temperature, foot pads.

Mental outlook:

A dog’s mental outlook is an important sign of its health. A healthy dog ??should be lively, active, and show interest in new things. There should be a feeling of fear as well as curiosity. And the quality of the spirit is also the first signal to you. I think everyone should know how to judge the quality of a puppy's mental outlook. This is the most external and intuitive, so I won't say more.

Ears:

The first thing you have to do when picking out a puppy is to put him in a stable place and then use your hands on his sides Or snap your fingers behind the head. If the puppy responds by actively looking in the direction of the sound source, it means that his hearing is normal and there is no obstacle. Then turn his ears outward and observe the conditions inside the ears. If there is a peculiar smell or sticky attachments, redness, swelling, trauma, bleeding, etc., it means that his inner ear is damaged or has ear parasites, which are unhealthy. If not, the puppy's ears are completely healthy.

Oral:

The oral examination mainly focuses on secretions, teeth, gums, and breath. A healthy dog ??will not have any other unusual secretions in its mouth except saliva. If foamy secretions are found, it means that there is something wrong with the dog's health. A healthy dog's teeth should be white. If there is tartar or the teeth are damaged, it can be considered that there is a health problem with the dog, although this is not a big problem. Gums, the dog's gums should be pink. If his gums are grayish white, it means that the dog's health has problems. It may be internal bleeding, weak body, lack of nutrition, congenital anemia, etc., or other problems. caused by disease. Breath, like teeth, is not a fundamental issue, but a dog with bad breath probably proves that there is something wrong with his diet.
