What to Do With Your Dog Over Chinese New Year
When the holidays pull you home, your dog's care needs a plan. If possible, take it along by car or by train or air cargo - you will need a dog license and health certificate, and cargo is charged by weight, so call the carrier ahead. Boarding works too: a local family that loves dogs is gentler than a shop cage, or use a pet hotel with a signed agreement. Avoid boarding puppies under six months or very old dogs, whose weak immunity struggles with new environments. Above all, do not leave a dog alone too long - it may think it was abandoned and develop real emotional and physical problems.
What Type of Cat Scratching Post Suits Your Cat?
Cats scratch by instinct: sharp claws suit hunting, and scent glands in the paws mark territory. They also scratch from boredom, so without a proper post your sofa and sheets pay the price. Posts come in many forms, flat or vertical, round or square, post or tree, cardboard or sisal. Cardboard is cheap and easy but sheds and wears fast; sisal rope lasts far longer and needs little coaxing; fabric-wrapped posts are tough and versatile. Beyond material, pick one that is stable and tall enough for a full upward stretch, since vertical scratching fits a cat's natural motion.
A Complete Guide to Deworming Your Cat
Even indoor cats need regular deworming, because we carry parasite eggs home on our shoes. Kittens and adults alike are exposed through grooming and play. This guide covers internal and external parasites, common product types, a schedule, and the safety notes every owner should know.
What to Do If You Hit a Dog With Your Car
Never drive off—leaving the scene of hitting a pet dog can count as hit-and-run (12 points, a 2,000-yuan fine). Stop, call police, and notify your insurer. A stray isn't personal property so it's not a traffic accident, but a pet dog is, so you may owe compensation. Liability depends on the leash: a leashed dog with a careful owner usually means driver fault; an off-leash dog often means owner fault; both at fault (off-leash dog, illegal driving) means shared fault. Always ask for the dog license and proof of breed/value; price via documents and third-party assessment, never settle privately.
How to Get a Cat
You can rescue a stray, adopt, or buy. A stray may carry disease, so vet-check and deworm it first and be ready for cost and commitment—or find a vetted adopter if you cannot keep it. Free adoptions are mostly Chinese Li Hua from people who gave up; 'free' is rarely free once medical checks are counted, and strict adoption contracts can be harsh. Buying is often the cheapest path to a known, healthy cat. Pick a pet-grade, healthy kitten ~3 months old, choose male or female by temperament, and always meet the cat in person at a reputable cattery or shop.
3 Places to Search When Your Dog Goes Missing
If your dog goes missing, act fast: print a poster that includes the line 'a reward is offered for safe return'—thieves rarely dare demand ransom openly and risk police trouble, so this works. First, check the local flower-bird-fish-insect market, the top spot for trading suspicious dogs. Second, if your dog is a popular breed, visit nearby dog markets within 24 hours and post notices, since sellers avoid the public markets. Third, review surveillance footage: go to the police station (bring a calm companion, stay polite—officers are busy but will help), and ask neighboring shops for their cameras. If all else fails, mobilize WeChat and Weibo, and remember most lost dogs are resold rather than ending up as meat, usually through backyard breeders rather than reputable kennels.
What Exactly Is Freeze-Dried Cat Food?
Freeze-dried (FD) food is made by freezing ingredients below -30°C and drying them under vacuum so water sublimates, keeping nutrition and shape largely intact for long storage. Benefits: minimal nutrient loss, unchanged appearance, long shelf life (~10 months), and good rehydration and palatability. It comes as staple or treat FD, fed dry, rehydrated, or mixed with other food. Watch the pitfalls—substandard 'FD' that's really air-dried, and bacterial overload—and choose reputable factory products, quality meat, sensible pricing, opaque sealed packaging, and irradiation sterilization.
Is a Pet Health Check-Up Really Necessary?
Like human screenings, pet check-up prices vary by region, and yes, it's an extra cost—but it's not wasted money. A check-up includes an external exam (eyes, ears, mouth), bloodwork (inflammation, infection, anemia, organ function), radiology (bones and organs), fecal testing (parasites), and urinalysis (urinary tract; in older cats it also shows kidney health). Cats and dogs have limited lifespans and often develop multiple diseases in old age, so early detection changes the outcome. Schedule a first exam at about 30 days old, yearly for seniors, and roughly every two years for healthy adults. Always use a proper veterinary clinic.
Common Bad Habits in Cats (and How to Fix Them)
Cats aren't perfect, and they can pick up habits that frustrate owners—nighttime zoomies, ignoring their name, play-biting, scratching the furniture, and sleeping too much. The good news is that most are manageable. Reset the sleep schedule by wearing your cat out before bed; build name recognition and reward-based training at mealtimes; curb biting by never using your hands as toys and firmly scolding attacks; provide scratching posts and wrap table legs in rope; and encourage exercise, even leash walks, to prevent obesity. Fix habits early so neither your furniture nor your cat's health suffers.
How Much Does a Pug Cost?
The pug—famous for its wrinkled, comical face—is a common, affectionate pet whose price is more modest than its fame suggests. Most pugs cost about 300–500 yuan, while a healthy, well-bred dog with good conformation may run 1,000 yuan or more; show or top-bloodline dogs cost considerably higher. Prices vary by bloodline, looks, and health. When buying, choose a reputable seller, verify the dog's health and paperwork, and be wary of unusually cheap puppies, which may be sick 'bargain' pups that fall ill soon after arriving home.
