Mark: Who could resist having man’s best friend at that side? Millions of people in <\/span>China <\/span>keep a pet. They love their animals and they do anything for them. But how do people go a<\/em>bout finding a pet in <\/span>China, and how do they look after them? And if you already own a pet,<\/span> <\/span><\/span>\u72d7<\/span> <\/span>for example, how do you go a<\/em>bout getting your dog registered with the local police? Let’s find out and learn some key phrases that you’ll need if you’re planning to keep a pet in <\/span>Beijing. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


As with just a<\/em>bout anything else you might want to buy in <\/span>China, you can probably find what you are looking for in a local street market. This includes some potential pets. But be weary of buying animals from sellers you see on the pavement or road side as they may not be as healthy as they first appear. Instead, head for the larger pet markets, like the Guanyuan Flower Bird Fish and Insect Market or <\/span><\/span>\u5b98\u56ed\u82b1\u9e1f\u9c7c\u866b\u5e02\u573a<\/span> <\/span>located in Xicheng. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mark: Here you will find dogs, cats, fish and birds. But don’t be surprised if you find a few more exotic pets too, like crickets. It may seem a bit strange, but the Chinese have been keeping crickets as pets for centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark: Well, I decided to buy a small dog. So, what’s the better place to come than this particular market. They specialize in cats and dogs. Let’s go inside and talk to the owner.<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mark: Now, as a pet owner, it’s very im<\/em>portant to know how to look after your animal. And the most im<\/em>portant thing is to know what you feed it. It’s very easy to find pets’ food aroundBeijing, and you’ll probably recognize some of the brands that you are already familiar with. But if you have more exotic animal or you are not sure what you feed your dog or cat. Ask the pet shop owner, they will help.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many times a day should I feed it?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mark: One of the most im<\/em>portant things to think a<\/em>bout when getting a new pet is its health. Check if it has had all the relevant vaccinations and hasn’t had any illnesses. But of course, even you felt your pets were healthy when you get it, it could develop problems later. So it’s always a good idea to find out if there is a vet near your home before your animal develops problems. Pets are living creatures and need to be looked after properly. Your dog, cat, rabbit or rodent needs to be groomed regularly to keep its coat healthy and free of fur balls, which can choke some animals, like cats, if you don’t groom them at least o<\/em>nce a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mark: With smaller animals, there is no need to register your pet at the local police station. But for larger one, remember you must register your pet immediately. There are regular checks done by the <\/span>Beijing <\/span>police to enforce public health and safety. If your dog is not registered, you could face a fine up to 2,000 yuan, and the police could co<\/em>nfiscate your beloved pet. Ask a Chinese friend or your landlord and even a passer-by wher the nearest police station is.<\/span><\/p>\n
