Poodle (Detailed Introduction)

　　Many pet owners decide to abandon or give away their beloved pets after getting pregnant due to concerns about infection with toxoplasmosis causing health problems. However, with the progress of science, more and more cases show that expectant mothers can live harmoniously with their pets and still have healthy babies. In fact, as long as expectant mothers pay attention to the following points during pregnancy, they can coexist in the same home with their pets.
　　1. Frequent Check-ups
　Women preparing for pregnancy should have a thorough physical examination for themselves and their pets to check if their pets have any diseases that might affect the fetus or the pregnant woman, or if any can be transmitted to the expectant mother. After becoming pregnant, frequent reexaminations should also be done; treat diseases early and prevent illness if no problems are found.
　　2. Vaccinations Are Essential
　When raising pets during pregnancy, preventive measures must be in place. Regularly vaccinate pets, give preventive injections, and eliminate internal and external parasites to remove worries. Additionally, be sure to get vaccines at regular hospitals or vaccination stations. Do not take your pets to underground clinics just to save money.
　3. Keep Appropriate Distance with Pets
　Pet lovers often like to hug, kiss, and stick close to their animals, which can cause hygiene problems. Expectant mothers must avoid these "risky actions." Do not allow pets to sleep on the bed; train them to sleep in their own beds because dogs may step on your belly while sleeping.
　　4. Communicate Well with Elderly Family Members
　Elderly family members are very likely to oppose. Expectant mothers and fathers can refer to others' online experiences and try to communicate well with the elders at home. After all, many pregnant Chinese mothers have lived with pets and still given birth to healthy babies.
