State/Local Regulations
Be responsible when you move and check beforehand with your new community to find out if pets are allowed. Some apartment and condominium complexes may not allow pets and if they do not then do not move there.
You need to ensure your pet has some sort of easily read ID attached to its body. For dogs and cats this can be a collar and for birds a tag around the leg is appropriate. At the very least the ID tags should have your pet’s name, destination address, your name and telephone number. It is also a good idea to have an alternates name and number on the tags in the event somebody finds your lost pet and is unable to get in contact with you. You should also have rabies tags for your pet and depending on the state you live in this will most likely be a requirement. For travel your pet may be required to wear special travel tags which the airline will provide.
