Pet "room" bookings are hot.
At noon on January 29, the reporter came to a pet store called "Kangyou Pet Diagnosis and Treatment Center" on Wuyi West Road, Chengguan District, and the billboard outside the store showed that the store provided services such as "pet boarding and pet bathing".

The store's largest foster capacity is currently small cats or dogs, and more than half of them are booked now.

On the afternoon of January 29, in the "Yibekang Pet Diagnosis and Treatment Center" on Pingliang Road, a lady had just taken away her foster corgi. In a clean and tidy room with no peculiar smell, the small and medium-sized dogs fostered by 3 citizens are kept in cages. "Last week, we already had five owners here boarding their pets. Store manager Yang Gen introduced. In previous years, a week or more than ten days before the Spring Festival, pet owners would bring their pets to foster one after another. Many people make appointments before the Chinese New Year's Eve. "Next week, people who have made reservations before the year will bring their pets one after another. ”

The reporter visited the market and found that many pet stores accept reservations for pets for small and medium-sized cats and dogs, mainly caged. Walk your dog once a day in the morning, noon and evening, and if you have enough time, you will walk more. Whether feeding, walking the dog or going to the toilet, the staff will take a picture and send it to the pet owner, so that he can understand the living conditions of his pet.
With a change of environment, cats and dogs are prone to stress reactions, which will lead to a decrease in pet resistance and illness. Yang Gen said they will require pet owners to provide proof of their pet's vaccination, do a simple medical examination of their pet, and sign a foster care agreement to avoid disputes. "I have encountered a situation where I suddenly came to us for a long time after fostering, saying that my pet was suffering from ** disease and was infected here. Yang Gen said helplessly that when this happens to pets, they will contact their owners as soon as possible.

It is suitable for people who are not at home on business trips or travel, and have no pets to take care of at home.
If I travel for a long time, I usually choose the pet home service. Ms. Chen, who lives in Lanshi Haubska, said that there are many owners who have pet cats and dogs on the "Xianyu", and will provide semi-public welfare feeding services, which are relatively cheap, generally about 20 yuan, and because the feeder is also the owner of the pet, he understands the living habits of pets better, and he will be more at ease outside.
Lawyer: If there is a dispute, you will be responsible according to the situation.
What happens if there is an accident such as illness or death of a pet during boarding or home feeding? According to lawyer Shen of Gansu Yongsheng Law Firm, during the pet boarding period, the pet owner and the pet company reached a corresponding oral or written agreement on the pet boarding and fees, and the two parties actually established a paid custody contract relationship. Article 897 of the Civil Code stipulates that during the custody period, if the custodian causes damage or loss to the deposited property due to the custodian's improper custody, the custodian shall be liable for compensation. If the pet is injured or dies during the period of foster care of the pet company, if the pet company cannot prove that it has improper care, nor can it prove that the injury or death of the pet is caused by its own disease that cannot be treated, or the infringement of an outsider, or force majeure, it shall be liable for compensation in accordance with the law.
