Stress reaction

Many puppies will have stress reactions when changing to a new environment (to a new home), ranging from loose stools to diarrhea.

Cause stress response Reason:

① Puppies have a weak physical foundation.

As derived from dogs Due to their poor nutrition and living environment, the physical foundation of the puppies in the farm is weak. Even if they change to a new environment in the same city, many will suffer from stress reactions such as loose stools and loose stools;

② Transportation to different places and long distances.

This kind of Dogs are prone to stress reactions, and adult dogs may also suffer from stress reactions, especially dogs who are "motion sick" themselves. Just like people, it is common to get motion sickness after sitting in a car for more than ten or twenty hours. Not to mention soft stools and diarrhea, it is common to be down for a few days;

③ ​​Change the environment and also change the food /new dog food.

We generally recommend that new Before taking the dog home, parents should first ask the puppy seller what kind of dog food the puppy was fed before, and then prepare one at home in advance. This way, parents can avoid changing the environment and diet at the same time. The degree of stimulation can be reduced a little~

Attention, we have countless dog friends This is the first time I have encountered an incident where the "original dog food" told by the seller was not the real diet of the puppy before. It is better to distinguish the "true and false" by yourself.

How to distinguish true from false:

① Is the price of the puppy directly proportional to the price (raising cost) of the dog food used by the seller? For example, from I bought more than a thousand two-month-old golden retrievers from a pet store, but the seller told me that the dog food used before was 351 pounds. The probability of falsehood is very high;

② Differentiation of source channels for purchasing puppies , such as those puppies that come from dog farms, but the seller tells them that they use 351 pounds of dog food. This is no longer a false propaganda level, but a clear attempt to bully you for being "stupid".

According to friends, the dog farm feeds chicken intestines, water, and even sour water collected from restaurants to feed dogs weighing 350 pounds. Food is really...impossible.

However, many truly domesticated ones (that Domestic breeding of puppies from viviparous litters is not considered "real domestic breeding"). There are indeed many cases of those that occasionally give birth to one litter, and the cost of raising them is higher than the value. However, this is basically a case of sterilizing them once and not daring to have any more. .

② Choose an older puppy , they can definitely withstand the "torture" better than those puppies that are transported from the dog farm to the intermediate channel when they are 20 or 30 days old, and then sold from the intermediate channel to new owners;

③ ​​The distance is definitely greater than the distance The rate of stress response (acclimatization) is smaller.
