Top Tips for Relocating with Your Pet in 2025

Moving abroad with your pet? Here are essential tips to ensure a smooth transition and keep your furry friend safe.

Relocating with your pet can be stressful for both you and your furry companion. Whether you're moving for work, family, or a new adventure, preparation is key to a successful move.

Before You Move

  • Research pet import requirements for your destination country
  • Ensure all vaccinations and health certificates are up to date
  • Consider your pet's travel arrangements well in advance
  • Update your pet's identification before you leave

During the Move

  • Keep your pet's GPR tag visible at all times
  • Have a recent photo of your pet on hand
  • Keep important documents easily accessible

After Arrival

  • Update your GPR profile with your new address and contact details
  • Register with a local vet immediately
  • Give your pet time to adjust to their new surroundings

Remember, pets can become disorientated in new environments. Having a GPR tag ensures that if your pet wanders off, they can be quickly identified and returned to you, no matter where in the world you are.
