Although there are frequent foster dogs every year, there is no way for some owners, and sending them to foster care is the only option. Some dogs have problems with foster care, which does not mean that all dogs have problems when going to foster care. If the owner is fostering a dog for the first time, it is best to make careful choices, at least the dog can be happier during the foster care period.
Several trivial matters that owners should pay attention to before sending their dogs to foster care:
1. After the development trend of small pet foster care has begun, owners have more choices, including pet supplies stores, pet hotels, foster care at home, etc. At the beginning, I was able to consult the owners I had previously fostered and asked them to highly recommend many stores. After you get a strong recommendation list, go to Meituan Takeout, Dianping and other regions to check out the reviews. A good review is not necessarily reliable, but you should pay more attention to bad reviews. A good review of a store may not necessarily mean that it is reliable, it will be just a relatively cost-effective store. In the end, search the name of this store. If something happened to the dog in the past, there would undoubtedly be marks on the Internet.
2. First, take a look at the natural environment of the foster care environment placed by merchants on the Internet. Just take a look. Most of them are taken with care. You can only know what the real natural environment is when you go to the spot. When visiting and inspecting, remember to observe these many levels: What is the natural environment for dogs to settle down? Is it sufficient and big enough to allow the dog to stand up, turn around, lie down, lie down, etc. at will. The interior space is very small, and even if the dog's living and home standards are not qualified, there is no need to choose.
How is the cleanliness and hygiene? Whether the dog lives in an iron cage or a single room in a blunt way, cleaning and hygiene must be the most important thing. Since this is the area where dogs stay the longest during the Chinese New Year, if there is excrement inside, it is very easy to spread the disease.
What is the dietary combination of dogs? If the dog is fed regularly in the store, it would be fine if the dog's porcelain bowl is empty, but there must be water in the water bowl at all times.
Is the dog a single room or a mixed living? In a more advanced pet hotel, the dog is usually a single room and is equipped with a surveillance camera for the owner to observe the dog's condition. It is generally not recommended to choose foster care organizations that live in a mixed manner, as it is very easy to cause infectious diseases. In other words, dogs have problems in estrus, and it is difficult to get along with each other. But if you are fostering at home with work experience, living in a mixed manner is another matter, and the owner must observe it himself.
3. Before foster care, you should have a physical examination. Before foster care, it is best to take your dog to a pet clinic for a check. If it is a sick dog, it is best not to have foster care, otherwise the condition will undergo a significant change. If the dog is physically and mentally healthy, then there will be problems with the human body after returning home from foster care, which means the obligation of the pet supply store. In addition, if the dog comes to the time to get vaccinated and deworm, it can get vaccinated early and there are also external deworming.
4. Before fostering, you should help your dog organize such items
clothes and pants. Clothes and pants that contain the taste of the owner will not be too lonely during the period of foster care.
Dog food. Take the dog food that the dog usually eats and gets it to the foster area and lets the staff help raise it. If you don’t have built-in dog food, the salesperson usually takes the dog food in the store, but suddenly changes the food and add it to the unfamiliar natural environment, and the dog will not digest it well and have diarrhea after eating it. Therefore, it is best to prepare the dog food that dogs often eat in advance and bring it to the past.
small toy. You can't let the dog be stunned by it alone. At least prepare a small toy for it in advance so that it can bite it and vent it when it's okay.
