Pet theme hall gradually subdivided

According to the owner, these small animals are trained, very "loved ones", and can interact well with people, in order to be safe, they will also be regularly given to the animals! The animals are vaccinated and dewormed, and sterilized.

Why are pet theme parks so hot?

Why do people love to go to pet experience centers when more and more of them are opening and becoming popular? In addition to the "photo card" "to do the circle of friends the most beautiful cubs" and other reasons, "decompression" "healing " has become a keyword.

In some experience halls, many customers sit here for half a day, devoting themselves to interacting with their pets. Many office workers feel that "this is better than owning a cat at home, do not need to spend energy to take care of it, when the work is not good, at any time to come here and play with the cat, it can make you relax a lot." Come to jerk these little animals, can let themselves temporarily forget their troubles, to recharge the body and mind. Many people who love cats and dogs can't raise pets themselves because they don't have the time and energy, and this kind of experience center can meet their needs and enjoy the pleasure of spending time with their pets.

As a professional pet store, in addition to providing traditional pet care, boarding and other services, the development of pet experience services is also a "one-two punch" way of doing business. Inside the cat pet museum captive more than a dozen different varieties of cats, guests can take the cat teaser stick to tease the cat, you can buy freeze-dried feed cats, jerking a time-limited charges ...... on the one hand, the "jerking cat" program, you can further develop the pet consumer market, increase business income; On the other hand, the process of jerking a cat can enhance the customer's understanding of cats, including the habits of cats, maintenance knowledge, etc., which allows customers to "I in the end can not have a cat" has a clearer understanding.

Problems with pet-themed museums

Jerking off cats and dogs is enjoyable, but this type of emerging pet experience stores, in the development of some problems have also been revealed. According to media reports, some pet-themed coffee shop, the store to keep pets at the same time also make drinks, health conditions are worrying. A variety of cute pets are "jerk", in the people to relieve stress at the same time, but to the pet itself has brought pressure, there are also jerking pets when the safety issues and so on.

For safety reasons, vaccinations and deworming are essential at the store. The cats are all from specialized breeding bases, and they are all vaccinated and dewormed as required, as well as regularly bathed and their nails clipped.

"Cats should be vaccinated with the feline triple and rabies vaccines from the age of two months, with a booster shot each year thereafter. Deworming is done once a month inside and outside the body until 1 year of age, and once every three to six months over 1 year of age. It's very important that restaurants do a thorough job of vaccinating and deworming their cats." A pet hospital doctor said that cats can infect people with basically rabies and some parasites, the vaccine can basically eliminate the risk of rabies, but parasites and bacteria depends on the individual's immune ability.

"Vaccination is not the same as no risk at all, for example, cats may carry some pathogenic bacteria." The associate researcher at the National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment believes that keeping a large number of pets in a confined indoor space such as a restaurant poses certain hygiene risks. "According to regulations, restaurant servers must have health certificates to work, but similar health checks are not conducted for pets kept in restaurants."

In order to avoid some of the risks, many cat-themed restaurants will be hung with eye-catching "jerking the cat is risky, sucking the cat need to be careful" warning signs, and some stores clearly stipulate that, for safety and health reasons, do not receive children under the age of 10.

Management norms remain to be improved

According to the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the "Food Safety Code of Practice for Catering Services", food service establishments may not keep animals such as poultry, livestock, and many restaurants explicitly prohibit pets inside. But these emerging pet restaurants seem to be in a vacuum of authority of various departments, there is no clear management regulations issued.

At the same time, about the shopping malls, parks, cats and dogs in the exhibition display, animal health supervision bureau has in the last year introduced relevant regulations. Requirements for quarantine certificates and vaccine book, hygiene, disinfection and other breeding records should also be complete and filed in advance. But again, pet-themed restaurants as a new thing, there is no corresponding special management standards.

A pet hospital doctor suggested that "due to the lack of relevant management norms, the store pet breeding, training and management mainly rely on the operator's initiative and self-awareness. It is best for children to be exposed to domesticated pets that they know better and are more comfortable with. Adults should also wash their hands diligently after contacting outside pets, or disinfect their clothes."
