Questions
What should I do first when moving with a pet?
Confirm the pet policy at the new home, in writing, before you sign anything. Everything else can follow the dates here.
When do I update the microchip?
On moving day, when the new address is yours: the registry holds the details a shelter or vet will call.
Is anything I type sent anywhere?
No. The plan and the calendar file are made in your browser.
