Moving
house
Routine
There is no set period of time
to keep your cat indoors before
letting them out for the first
time (advice ranges from 24
hours - 2 weeks). However, do
this when you are at home to
supervise them and ensure
they return home safely. Allow
cats time to explore their new
surroundings, don’t rush them
and keep routes back into the
house open (doors/windows/
cat flap). Letting cats out when
they are hungry should
encourage them to return
home for their next meal!
Returning to your dog’s normal
routine as soon as possible will
help them relax and settle into
their new environment.
Register with a new
vet and keep details
updated
If you have moved out of
your vets’ catchment area
you will need to register
with a new vet before an
emergency situation arises.
Your new vet can then request
your pets’ history and set up
reminders for vaccinations
and flea/worm treatments.
Remember
to also update
your details with your pet
insurance company as well
as the national microchip
databases.
