1. Register Your Pet with a UK Vet Practice
Regular vet care keeps your pet healthy and safe. Being registered also shows landlords you are a responsible owner.
What to do: Use the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons “find a vet” tool to search for vets near your new home. Contact one practice, ask about registration, and complete their simple form by phone, online or in person.
What do you need: You need your contact details, your pet’s age, breed and any previous vet records.
Outcomes: Your pet will be registered with a local vet, making it easier to get care when needed.
Lifehack: Save the vet’s phone number and emergency contact in your phone straight away.
