Pet Relocation Checklist: Essential Steps Before You Move

Relocating with your pet requires careful planning. Here's a comprehensive checklist to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

Before You Move:

• Research pet import requirements for your destination country
• Schedule vet appointments for required vaccinations and health certificates
• Ensure your pet's GPR tag is securely attached and clearly visible
• Update your GPR profile with your new address and contact details
• Register with a local vet in your destination country
• Research pet-friendly accommodation options
• Prepare travel documentation well in advance

During the Move:

• Keep your pet's GPR tag visible at all times
• Have recent photos of your pet easily accessible
• Keep important documents in a clearly marked folder
• Ensure your phone is charged and accessible
• Add temporary contact numbers to your GPR profile if needed

After Arrival:

• Update your GPR profile with your new permanent address
• Register with a local vet immediately
• Update your pet's microchip details if required
• Give your pet time to adjust to their new surroundings
• Be extra vigilant during the first few weeks

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.
