Rules for buying an animal on the market

• Before buying, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of necessary vaccinations and vaccines that an animal must have at a certain age.

• Of course, you should not believe in the word of honor of the seller. Each animal must have its own veterinary passport, which contains marks (stickers) on the manipulations performed: a mark on deworming, vaccination and revaccination is required.
• When choosing between unvaccinated and incompletely vaccinated animals, you should give preference to the first option, because in the second case, the pet's body is under tremendous stress, and becomes much more susceptible to attack by viruses.
• It is worth focusing on the behavior and appearance of the animal. It is important to carefully examine the ears, nose, hair for the presence of parasites and wounds, and the oral cavity for the completeness of the teeth and the condition of the gums. If the animal behaves sluggishly, reacts poorly to stimuli, you should think before you decide to buy: often the cost of treating the animal results in a fairly round sum, and no one can guarantee the life and he alth of the pet.
