Chimbwamupengo ivhairasi rechirwere chinokonzera kuzvimba kweuropi muvanhu nedzimwe mhuka dzine ropa rinodziya. Zviratidzo zvokutanga zvinogona kusanganisira fivha uye kubayabaya panzvimbo inenge yapinda utachiona. Zviratidzo izvi zvinoteverwa nechimwe chete kana zviviri zvezvinotevera: maitiro echisimba, kufarisa kusina muganhu, kutya mvura, kutadza kufambisa dzimwe nhengo dzemuviri, kuvhiringidzika, uye kufenda. Kana zviratidzo zvaoneka, chimbwamupengo kakawanda kacho chinouraya. Kubva panguva yokutapurirwa utachiona kusvika panotanga kuoneka zviratidzo, panowanzova nemwedzi mumwe chete kusvika kumitatu. Zvisinei, nguva iyi inogona kusiyana-siyana ichitangira pasi pevhiki rimwe chete kusvikira kugore kana kudarika. Kureba kwenguva kunotsamira pakuti vhairasi racho rinofanira kufamba daro rakadini kuti risvike kumuzongoza uye uropi. Chimbwamupengo chinotapurirwa kuvanhu chichibva kune dzimwe mhuka. Chimbwamupengo chinogona kutapurirwa kana mhuka inacho ikamara kana kuruma imwe kana munhu. Rute rwemhuka ine utachiona runogonawo kutapurira chimbwamupengo kana rukaenda pamikana inobuda kunze kwomuviri yeimwe mhuka kana munhu. Kakawanda, chimbwamupengo muvanhu chinobva pakurumwa nembwa. Munyika dzine imbwa dzakawanda dzine chimbwamupengo, inopfuura 99% yechimbwamupengo inokonzerwa nokurumwa nembwa. Munzvimbo dzeAmericas, kurumwa nechiremwaremwa ndiko kunonyanya kukonzera kutapukira kwechimbwamupengo, uye kutapukira kuri pasi pe5% kunokonzerwa nembwa. Kashoma chaizvo kuti mbeva nezvimwe zvakada kudaro zvitapurirwe chimbwamupengo. Vhairasi rechimbwamupengo rinofamba kuenda kuuropi richitevedza manevhi ekunze.
