What should you pay attention to when you put your dog in a friend's house or in a pet store?

When the holiday comes, many pet owners have made travel plans, but we should consider who should take care of the dog during the period of going out? Foster care is not a trivial matter. There are many details that need our attention.

If you're going to entrust your dog to an acquaintance, it's best to send the dog to a friend's house a few days before you go out, so that they can get familiar with each other. During this period, you should also go to see the dog more, otherwise you will not be seen suddenly, which is likely to make him have the idea of being abandoned, resulting in poor mood or aggressive behavior. In addition to daily necessities, never forget the dog's favorite toy. If it's convenient, you can prepare an old dress with your smell to make the dog feel that you are always by his side.

Make a list of the dog's daily life plan and give it to your little partner. Record the daily feeding amount, walking time, rest time and other data, as well as some small habits of the dog, such as giving him a molar stick before going to bed, comforting him before going out, etc.

Some friends may send dogs to pet foster care institutions. For such commercial foster care institutions, owners should polish their eyes. Whether they are sent to pet stores or foster care centers, they must choose businesses with good reputation and rich foster care experience.

During foster care, we should pay attention to whether the pet's living environment is clean and sanitary, and whether the service personnel have enough patience with pets. It is also worth noting that when communicating with the merchant about foster care, it is very important to see if the other party has asked you to show your recent immunization or health certificate! Some owners may think it's unnecessary, but you should understand that if you don't need to prove your dog's health, others don't need it. Despite being separated from the cage, will you rest assured that your dog will live in the same room with other dogs that may have infectious diseases for a few days?

In addition, during foster care, the merchant will sign a foster care agreement with you. The owner must see and negotiate the payment, which generally covers the relevant provisions on living environment, diet, going out, cleaning and treatment in case of disease. If there is any particularity in your dog care, you must put forward it in advance.

However, for most foster care institutions, due to the restrictions of conditions and the convenience of feeding and management, dogs have to live in cages for a considerable part of the time. Although the foster keeper takes them out to play every day, it may still have an impact on the dog's mental health. Therefore, the owners still need to consider carefully in foster care. Even if they go to a foster care institution for foster care, the time should not exceed 5 days. Especially for some older dogs, they need more careful care. It's best to find someone you trust for family foster care.
