The law usually states that rabies tag be attached securely to your pet’s
collar.
Local Ordinances
•
Check with the city or town hall in your new community for any laws
regarding pets. Many communities have pet control and licensing
ordinances for both dogs and cats.
•
This should be done as soon as you decide to move, in order to provide
enough time to acquire any necessary permits or to obtain required
registration.
•
License fees will vary from location to location, as will the amount of time
for a new resident to obtain a pet license.
A Trip To The Vets
•
Well in advance of moving, your pet should undergo a thorough physical
exam. This gives you plenty of time for any unforeseen treatments or
inoculations.
•
Make sure all their vaccinations are up-to-date … particularly their rabies
vaccination.
•
If your pet is moving to a different type of climate, discuss with your vet
any change in treatments or medication this might precipitate.
•
If your pet will be traveling by plane, have your vet explain the pros and
cons of tranquilization. There is some discussion that a pet traveling in
cargo, should not be sedated due to high altitudes. (Some airlines even
have their own rules when it comes to sedation).
•
If your pet is currently on medication, make sure you have enough to last
until you are settled at your destination
•
Obtain a copy of your pet’s health records and ask your Vet if he/she can
recommend another veterinarian in your new town or city. If not, check
the Resources at the end of this report.
