Check the local laws: Find out if you need a new license, what the leash laws are, and whether there are breed bans in place. Your new landlord might be fine with a Rottweiler but some local governments, neighborhood associations, and insurance companies do not allow certain breeds.
Find a new vet: Don’t wait until your dog gets injured or sick. Do some research to find out if they’ll need any new vaccinations or preventative medications. Does your new area have ticks, heartworm, or leptospirosis?
Get your dog microchipped and put be certain your cell phone number is on their collar.
Make sure your dog has identification: “We’ve all read the wonderful stories about dogs who were lost during a household move and eventually found their way home across country,” says Dr. Mary Beth Leininger of ASPCA Health Insurance. “This is so rare that it’s always news. Better to have an ID tag on the pet’s collar and have your veterinarian microchip the dog for permanent identification.”
Pick a moving company that best suits your needs. Make sure to read customer reviews and get free moving quotes before making up your mind: being able to rely on a company you feel you can trust means more time to focus on supporting your beloved pet during this stressful time.https://www.rover.com/blog/moving-with-your-dog-how-to-help-pets-adjust-new-home/
