With the continuous development of the economy and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, keeping pets has become a favorite thing for many people. And how do parents who plan to raise pets choose their pets? In fact, we still need to do more to understand this issue. Especially for people who like pets to know how to choose healthy pets, it is very necessary.
1. Business license
Choose a regular pet store with a business license. Pets must also have the corresponding veterinary certification procedures.
2. Vaccination injection registration certificate
When purchasing a pet, you should ask the pet store to present the pet's vaccination injection registration certificate, which is on the registration certificate The pet's breed, age, sex, color, and registered veterinarian's telephone address and name should be clearly stated. At the same time, you must carefully check whether the registered information is consistent with the pet you purchased. If the pet store cannot provide such proof, it is best not to buy there.
3. The environment in the pet store
The environment in the pet store should be hygienic and clean, the pets sold in the store should be lively and normal, and all the pets in the cage should not be Overcrowded.
4. The clerk's pet knowledge
The clerk should have sufficient pet knowledge and be able to provide professional advice.
Reminder: Everyone who buys pets will go to the pet store, but often hear complaints from pet owners that the newly purchased pets become sick or even die within a few days. This will not only cause losses to pet friends, but also emotionally. Before purchasing a pet, you can ask the clerk to bring the pet to the veterinary clinic for examination. It is best not to buy pets sold by street vendors, these pets are the least guaranteed health problems!
1. Differences in bloodline and breeding
In the category of pet cats, there are purebred cats and mixed-breed cats. The two cats have distinct pedigree and reproductive differences. Purebred cats refer to breeds whose ancestors are the same kind of cats, generally inbreeding, and congenital defects of cats are often caused due to inbreeding problems. Mixed-breed cats are the offspring of cross-breeding. Their bloodlines are not pure, but they have excellent adaptability, so they are loved by the public and raised.
2. Purebred cats
Purebred cats are generally obtained through selective breeding. A long time ago, people kept cats and then selected them for breeding. Therefore, the next generation of purebreds is nurtured step by step. This process is through crossbreeding and selection. Therefore, cats that can be held in their arms today are not purebred in the narrow sense, but hybrid. Later, some cats with similar appearance and temperament were gradually derived. These cats were gradually shaped, and then through careful selective breeding, the genetic characteristics of appearance were stabilized. These are today's purebred cats, but the difference is that , Some of them are hybrids, some are natural, but in the end, they will narrow the breeding characteristics and become a unique breed under strict control, and finally breed cats with the same shape and characteristics to breed the next generation.
3. Mixed-breed cats
Mixed-breed cats are generally not easy to be recognized by people or related institutions in terms of breeds, and cats' Appearances can also be very complex. Since reproduction is not restricted in any way, the coat pattern varies widely, and it is impossible to make meaningful classifications based on facial features. Of course, in a particular area, there has been inbreeding of related non-pure cats, so there are a lot of similarities between them.
Reminder: Most people don't choose a purebred cat, for them a house cat is exactly what they want. Domestic cats come in a wide variety of colors, coats, and can be gentle if they had pleasant social experiences when they were young. Pet friends should be clear about the breed characteristics of cats, and should be familiar with whether the morphological characteristics, coat color, posture, etc. of each breed (especially the breed you want to choose) meet the requirements of the breed. If the pet store calls this cat a pedigree cat, it must have a birth certificate (blue list) or a registration certificate (green list) issued by a credible cat-loving association such as CFA, Mama, pay attention!
