Based on the advice of animal behaviorists, here are ways to reduce the probability of conflict:
| risk period | prevention program | backup measures |
|---|---|---|
| Peak period for dog walking (18:00-20:00) | Choose a route less crowded | Wear an anti-bite collar |
| Encountering an off-leash dog | Pick up small dogs immediately | Carry dog repellent spray |
| Playing at the dog park | Observe the status of other dogs in advance | Prepare isolation traction rope |
5. Follow-up health monitoring
Even minor bites need to be observed for 7 days:
1.signs of infection: Wound redness and swelling spread, body temperature exceeds 39°C, and appetite drops sharply.
2.psychological intervention: When abnormal behavior such as cowering or increased aggression occurs, a professional dog trainer is required to intervene.
3.Vaccine catch-up: If the other party’s dog vaccination record is incomplete, a supplementary rabies vaccine is required (valid within 24 hours).
Through the above systematic solution, we can not only protect the rights of our dogs, but also avoid unnecessary legal disputes. It is recommended that every pet owner regularly participate in pet first aid training and carry a copy of the "Dog Registration Certificate" with them to jointly create a safe pet-friendly environment.
