You

Hi, I'm visiting with my dog and I need to pick up some supplies. Do you carry travel-size dog food and portable water bowls?

你好,我带着狗旅行,需要买些用品。你们有旅行装的狗粮和便携式水碗吗?

Welcome! Yes, we have small bags of kibble right over here — different brands and sizes. For portable bowls, we have collapsible silicone ones that fold flat — super convenient for travel. They're $8 each.

欢迎!有的,小袋狗粮在这边——不同品牌和大小的都有。便携碗的话,我们有可折叠的硅胶碗——旅行超方便。每个8美元。

You

I'll take one bowl and a small bag of the grain-free chicken flavor. My dog also needs a new leash — he chewed through the last one.

给我一个碗和一小袋无谷鸡肉味的。我的狗还需要一条新牵引绳——他把上一条咬断了。

Ha, they do that! Leashes are on the wall over there. We have nylon, leather, and retractable ones. For a chewer, I'd suggest the heavy-duty nylon or the leather — they last much longer. What size is your dog?

哈哈,狗就是这样!牵引绳在那边墙上。有尼龙、皮革和伸缩式的。如果它喜欢咬东西,我建议加厚尼龙或皮革的——更耐用。你的狗多大?

You

He's a medium-sized golden retriever, about 60 pounds. I'll go with the leather one. Also, can you recommend any pet-friendly restaurants or parks nearby?

他是中型金毛寻回犬,大约60磅。我选皮革的。另外,你能推荐附近有宠物友好的餐厅或公园吗?

Sure! Riverside Park is amazing for dogs — they have an off-leash area where your dog can run free. Just make sure he's up to date on vaccinations and you bring poop bags. For restaurants, most places with outdoor patios allow dogs — Café Milano and The Green Table both have water bowls out for dogs.

当然!河滨公园对狗来说很棒——有一个免牵引区,你的狗可以自由跑。确保疫苗是最新的,带上拾便袋。餐厅的话,大多数有户外露台的地方允许带狗——Café Milano和The Green Table都会给狗准备水碗。

💡 在美国,遛狗时必须用牵引绳(除了指定的 off-leash area),必须清理狗的排泄物。不遵守可能被罚款。很多城市对带狗进室内餐厅有限制,但户外用餐区通常欢迎。

You

Great, I'll check those out. Do I need to keep him on a leash on the sidewalk? The rules might be different from back home.

好的,我去看看。在人行道上需要牵着他吗?规定可能和国内不一样。

Yes, leash laws are strict here. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet on all public sidewalks, streets, and in stores that allow pets. Fines can be up to $200 for unleashed dogs in public areas. Also, always clean up after your dog — we sell biodegradable poop bags right at the register.

是的,这里的牵引法规很严格。所有公共人行道、街道和允许宠物的商店里,狗必须用不超过6英尺的牵引绳。在公共区域不拴绳最高罚款200美元。另外一定要清理狗的排泄物——我们收银台有卖可降解拾便袋。

You

Good to know. I'll grab a roll of poop bags too. Thanks for all the helpful advice!

了解了。我再拿一卷拾便袋。谢谢你这么多有用的建议!

You're welcome! Your golden is adorable, by the way. Here's a treat for him — on the house. Enjoy your visit!

不客气!顺便说一下,你的金毛好可爱。给他一个零食——免费的。祝你们旅行愉快!

Visiting the Vet · 看兽医

intermediate
You

Hi, I need to see a vet urgently. My dog has been vomiting since this morning and he's very lethargic. He won't eat anything.

你好,我需要紧急看兽医。我的狗从今早开始一直呕吐,非常没精神。什么都不吃。

We can fit you in right away — vomiting and lethargy can be serious. Do you have your dog's vaccination records? And is he on any medications?

我们可以马上安排——呕吐和没精神可能是严重问题。您有狗的疫苗记录吗?他在吃什么药吗?

You

I have his records on my phone. He's not on any medication. We're traveling from China — he ate something from a trash can yesterday at the park. Could that be the cause?

记录在手机上。他没在吃任何药。我们从中国来旅行——昨天在公园他从垃圾桶里吃了什么东西。可能是这个原因吗?

Very likely. Eating garbage can cause gastroenteritis or even a blockage if he swallowed something he shouldn't have. Let me examine him. How many times has he vomited today? And is there any diarrhea?

很有可能。吃垃圾会导致肠胃炎,如果吞了不该吞的东西甚至可能堵塞。让我检查一下。今天吐了几次?有拉肚子吗?

You

He's vomited about four or five times. There's been some diarrhea too. He's been drinking a little water but throwing it back up.

吐了大概四五次。也有点拉肚子。他喝了一点水但又吐出来了。

I'm going to do a physical exam and take an X-ray to make sure there's no foreign object causing a blockage. He's also showing signs of dehydration, so I'd like to put him on IV fluids. The exam, X-ray, and fluids together will be about $350. Is that okay to proceed?

我要做一个体检和拍X光,确认没有异物造成堵塞。他也有脱水的迹象,所以我想给他输液。检查、X光和输液加起来大约350美元。可以进行吗?

You

Yes, please do whatever is needed. Is he going to be okay?

好的,需要做什么就做。他会没事吧?

The X-ray looks clear — no blockage. It appears to be a case of dietary indiscretion — basically, his stomach is upset from eating something it shouldn't have. I'll give him anti-nausea medication and some fluids. He should start feeling better in 12 to 24 hours.

X光片看起来没问题——没有堵塞。看起来是饮食不当——基本上就是吃了不该吃的东西导致胃不舒服。我给他打止吐药和补充液体。12到24小时内应该会好转。

You

That's such a relief. What should I feed him for the next few days?

那就放心了。接下来几天给他吃什么?

Keep him on a bland diet for 3 to 5 days — boiled chicken and white rice in small portions. No treats and no regular food until his stomach settles. I'll send you home with some prescription anti-nausea pills and a probiotic. If the vomiting returns or he gets worse, bring him back immediately.

3到5天吃清淡饮食——水煮鸡肉和白米饭,少量多餐。胃好之前不给零食和普通狗粮。我给你带一些处方止吐药和益生菌回去。如果又开始呕吐或变严重了,立刻带他回来。

You

Thank you so much, doctor. Do you accept pet insurance? We have an international pet insurance plan.

非常感谢,医生。你们接受宠物保险吗?我们有一份国际宠物保险。

We don't process insurance claims directly, but I'll give you a detailed invoice with diagnosis codes. You can submit that to your insurance company for reimbursement. Most international pet insurance plans reimburse 70 to 80 percent. Feel better soon, buddy!

我们不直接处理保险理赔,但我会给你一份带诊断代码的详细发票。你可以提交给保险公司申请报销。大多数国际宠物保险报销70%到80%。快好起来,小家伙!
