　　Pet foster care in many places is still "a nest is hard to find"

　　Ms. Wang of Anhui Province has a cat that has been kept for four years. This year, because she is going to spend the New Year with her family, she made an appointment for foster care in a pet store in advance.

　　Ms. Wang said that foster care needs to provide proof of vaccine and prepare enough cat food. During the period of foster care, the pet shop will take care of the pet’s health in addition to eating, drinking, pulling and scattering. "This pet store also provides paid bathing beauty services, and can also shoot videos of kittens at any time, so that I can know its status in real time."

　　The reporter learned that as the Spring Festival approaches, foster care services in many pet stores are facing "a nest is hard to find". The manager of a pet store in Beijing said that eight cats and four dogs in the store have made an appointment for the Spring Festival foster care, and there are not many foster care places in the store. "One day in 80 yuan on weekdays and one day in 100 yuan during the Spring Festival. The charge for the bath list depends on the size of the dog. "

　　In addition to this kind of store foster care, there is a higher-end foster care method-pet paradise, which meets the needs of pets’ daily play and training. In a cute pet store, the staff told reporters that they have a special pet dog foster park, which provides three kinds of rooms with different sizes and prices for pet dogs. Now many rooms are basically full during the Spring Festival, and the related expenses during the Spring Festival have increased by about 50%.

　　Lawyer: Foster pets should confirm the qualification of the store.

　　Sign a foster care agreement with the store to confirm the liability.

　　Pet foster care during holidays is not a small expense. According to Feng Jiao, a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Ningxia University and the head of the Institute of Digital Economy and Smart Management of Ningxia University, in addition to the demand for appearances, there are deeper reasons why consumers are willing to pay for pet foster care.

　　Feng Jiao said that the pet economy is essentially a typical emotional economy. With the improvement of the quality of life, people’s spiritual demands for companionship and desire for companionship have escalated. Pets can entrust people with strong spiritual feelings and make pet owners feel happy psychologically.

　　It is worth noting that there are also many force majeure factors in the process of foster care. For example, when a pet comes to a strange environment, it will have a stress reaction because of fear, which often leads to the decline of pet resistance and illness.

　　Li Bin, a lawyer of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, reminded that when raising pets, we should confirm the qualifications of the store, pay attention to the environment in the store, and sign a foster agreement with the store to confirm the liability during the foster care. "The corresponding pet name, health status, fees, service content and risk responsibility must be clear."

　　In addition, the reporter also noticed that searching for "Spring Festival home feeding" on social platforms and second-hand trading platforms will lead to a large number of personal order information, and some comments and inquiries have reached more than 100. The price of this kind of personal door-to-door feeding service is generally low. However, some pet owners still have concerns about door-to-door feeding, such as whether pets need to bear relevant responsibilities if they scratch people, and the qualifications of door-to-door personnel are difficult to guarantee.

　　Li Bin said that under normal circumstances, as long as the pet hurts others, the owner of the pet has to bear the responsibility, but it also depends on whether the person who provides services at home is at fault, so that the pet has a stress reaction. If you have a camera at home, you can use it to collect evidence. But if there is an accident outside, collecting evidence becomes an important issue. Therefore, it is best for pet owners to disclose the characteristics and problems of their pets to the door-to-door service personnel as much as possible, and the door-to-door service personnel also need to have certain pet feeding experience.
