Moving with pets can be a problem, but the time to consider these problems is before you adopt a pet. If you are a renter, it can be very difficult to find a landlord who will allow pets. If you own a pet, you ll have to restrict your choice of apartments to those where pets are allowed, and an extra damage deposit may be required. A pet who is neutered, tagged, and well behaved may help get a negative landlord in a positive mood. However, you must be careful that your dog isn t annoying the neighbors with constant barking or your cat shredding the drapes.
Expenses Moving with a pet can be expensive.
If you don t have a place to live lined up in the new city, you ll have to board your pet at a kennel in the new area while you look around. If you fly to your destination, air freight charges, the cost of a sturdy pet carrier, and the expense of a visit to the veterinarian for a health certificate all add up. If you can t deal with the difficulties or expense of moving with a pet, don t adopt one in the first place. Save yourself the guilt and heartbreak of leaving part of the family behind, and save a dog or cat the sadness of being rejected. The Cat s Age.
