Keeping a pet is a very patient thing. Not to mention all kinds of strange pets, but the most common feeding dogs is a science. As the number of pet owners has increased, so has pet consumption. Nowadays, there are too many e-commerce platforms. What are the criteria for buying pet supplies? How to choose a cost-effective and suitable product for your pet online? I hope the following can give you an answer.
- Buy according to your pet’s own preferences
When buying pet supplies, be sure to see if the pet likes them. For example, insisting on feeding dog food that your dog doesn’t like may affect your dog’s health. Since each dog likes different flavors of dog food, we can consider buying more flavors of dog food, observe the dog’s reaction, and finally choose the one he likes to buy. - Whether the purchased products can be used safely
Safety is the number one criterion when buying pet products. For example, some cabins, food bowls or materials that have an adverse effect on your pet’s health are not allowed. In addition, whether the product is firm and durable, whether there are parts falling off is also the standard to judge whether it is safe. If some pet clothing is easy to drop parts, it is easy to be swallowed by the curious and swollen cat, causing gastrointestinal foreign body obstruction or even suffocation or aspiration pneumonia.
For people who have both cats and dogs at home, it’s important to be more careful when feeding their pets. For example, some drugs can be used on dogs, but they are toxic to cats. Deltamethrin, for example, is widely used to kill and prevent ticks, fleas and mosquitoes in dogs, but it is highly toxic to cats. As a result, flea collars sold online and billed as “all-purpose for dogs and cats” may be toxic to cats, and owners should be careful before purchasing them. - Physical size
Different breeds of pets have different needs for products. For example, dogs of different sizes require different nutrients during infancy and adulthood. If not chosen correctly, dogs may not get enough nutrients during growth and development, which can affect their size and health as adults.
When breeding medium sized dogs such as huskies, Fadu and Samoyed, special attention should be paid to the choice of dog food when young, paying attention to balanced nutrition and easy to chew. Good nutrient intake is conducive to the growth of body size and the health of hair. The content of small particles can also play a better role in protecting oral health and reducing tartar formation, which is the difference between professional dog food brands and “three no” products on the market.
