EPET PAWS - EPET PAWS

During the epidemic, there is no evidence that dogs and cats can be infected with and spread the new coronavirus, but the shoveling officer should also pay attention to protection and management, protect TA thoroughly, spend this special period, and then take the children to swim in spring.

Going out

1 Outgoing protection in place

Shoveling officials should first do a good job of personal protection, walking dogs also need to wear masks, pay attention to the local dog raising norms during the epidemic, to avoid causing accidental injuries to children.

Reasonable arrangement of dog walking nkpl

1. During the epidemic period, the frequency of dog walking can be reduced appropriately, and the leash can be worn properly, which can be shortened to about 30 minutes for large dogs and 20 minutes for small dogs.

2. In some areas, dogs are not allowed to go out, so it is necessary to solve the problem of dog excretion at home, use dog toilets and train fixed-point defecation.

Don't be careless when walking the dog.

1. Walk the dog in a civilized way, take a good pet poop bag, avoid using paper towels and newspapers to pick up poop, and throw it into the trash can. When you get home, you should wash your hands with soapy water or hand sanitizer. When the dog comes home, you should also disinfect the whole body.

2. When there are other dog partners, try to disperse and not gather, avoid letting the dog touch other people, and lead the rope without touching the sputum and feces on the ground.

3. If you need to walk your dog in the garage, be sure to wear a leash and keep your dog close to the trash can (especially the trash can containing masks for recycling).

4. Choose the pet mask according to the situation

Wearing a mask is to prevent droplets carrying the virus from contacting the respiratory tract, and does not directly prevent the virus. There is no evidence that dogs can infect and transmit the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov).

1. At present, although the pet masks on the market claim to be N95 type, the inspection report is aimed at anti-haze PM2.5, and the actual filtration value is 90%, the protective effect is not good.

2. Dogs rely on the sense of smell, eating and daily activities need to sniff, wearing a mask has an impact on breathing and sniffing, will be more resistant. If you just want to avoid trouble when you go out for a walk, you can choose a breathable cotton or gauze mask.

Disinfection

5. Selection of disinfectant

1. Choose special disinfectant for pets, which can kill more than 90% of common bacteria, and can also be used to disinfect pet household products with less irritation.

2. Disinfectants that need to be diluted for pets should be diluted in strict proportion before use, such as DuPont Weike, with a dilution ratio of 1:200 for daily use and 1:100 for emergency use (during pet infectious diseases and skin diseases).

6 Disinfection is fully in place

1. Dogs should pay attention to disinfection after going out and returning home. Pet special disinfectant spray should be sprayed all over the body, focusing on the soles of the feet and abdomen. Pet disinfectant wipes can be used to wipe the face.

2. Daily necessities (cages, nests, food bowls, etc.) Should also be disinfected regularly (2-3 times a week).

3. After using disinfection products in the home environment or spraying disinfectants on dogs, they need to wait for 10-15 minutes to fully play their role.

4. When using alcohol (75%) to spray and disinfect at home, pay attention to quarantine the dog, avoid alcohol stimulating the respiratory tract and causing the dog to sneeze frequently, and arrange the dog to other rooms when mopping and disinfecting.

7 Cautions for use of disinfectant for human use

For the novel coronavirus disinfection, many parents use 84 or Dettol and other disinfectants at home.

1. It should be noted that the concentration should be diluted strictly in proportion (1: 100-200), because cats and dogs are more sensitive to smell than humans. If the disinfectant is directly exposed to the ground, it will irritate the respiratory tract and skin, and licking the undiluted original liquid may also cause poisoning.

8 Accidental treatment caused by disinfectant

1. If the dog's skin, face or eyes accidentally come into contact with the disinfectant stock solution, it should be washed with plenty of water as soon as possible, and seek medical treatment in time for pain and discomfort.

2. If you eat 84 disinfectant, disinfectant water and other chlorine containing disinfectant by mistake, it will cause burns to the digestive tract mucosa and cause a series of body reactions, so you need to feed high-protein liquid food, such as goat milk powder, milk, immune protein powder, etc. Gastric gavage with soapy water is not recommended (84 disinfectant is alkaline), which may aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort.

Indoor life

9 Avoid intimate contact

During the epidemic period, the dog's range of activities can be appropriately reduced to avoid activities in the bedroom and kitchen. At the same time, be careful not to have too close contact with dogs and cats, kiss or lick their faces, hands, etc.

10 Home Environment Improvement

The home environment should be cleaned frequently, and the fallen hair should be cleaned in time. Pay attention to opening windows for ventilation, turn on less air conditioning, and keep enough light. Cats especially need more sunshine.
