Have the address of the local vets handy in the event of an emergancy particularly if he has health problems!
First check out the new property for any potential problems, before you move in:
- Is the fencing secure?
- Is the fence the correct height?
- Is your dog likely to escape into an unfamiliar neighborhood if so look at prevention measures?
Travelling by car?
- Dogs can get carsick.
- Don't feed your dog at all within 12 hrs of the move!
- If you dog is not use to journeys it would be worth investing in a dog cage.
- Invest in a good high sided travelling drinking bowl
- .If your dog has never been in the car before, try taking him for short trips before you need to move.
- Try avoiding trips in heavy traffic, the frequent stops and starts in traffic can make dogs feel nauseous.
- Don't let your dog put his head out the window! It can damage the eyes.
- If you are traveling by car, make sure you stop regularly, especially in the summer months.
If you're moving quite far away from your old home, you might want to take along some water, enough to last a few days. Some dogs can get sick when getting used to new water, due to the different 'bugs' that can be in water.
In case your dog does escape after the move, it helps to have a recent photograph to hand.though we recommend that your dog is already wearing his new ID Tag.
