Top 10 Must-Know Tips for Buying a Dog
One: Vaccination A Vital Decision
Immunization is the sole method to prevent canine viral infections. Dogs that are not vaccinated face a near 100% mortality rate if they contract the virus. Even those that survive may suffer lifelong complications.
Two: Preparing for Your New Pet
Before bringing a dog into your home, it's wise to do some research online. Look at photos of both puppies and adult dogs, compare prices, and get a sense of their sizes to avoid falling victim to scams at the dog market.
Three: Avoid Dogs of Unknown Origin
Be cautious of street vendors who move from place to place, selling dogs without a fixed location. Such transactions offer no guarantees, leaving you with no assurance of the dog's health or background.
Four: Adoption Over Purchase
Adopting a dog from a friend or family member's litter is not only costeffective but also ensures the dog's health history is clear. If purchasing is your choice, opt for a reputable pet store. Visit the store multiple times to observe the dog's health over a period of weeks. If the dog remains healthy for two weeks, it might be time to consider taking it home.
