Do you own a pet and considering a  move to Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Lincolnshire or Vernon Hills?  If the answer is yes...  read on!  Whether you are moving across town or across the nation, relocating your pet successfully may be challenging  without adequate preparation and investigation. 

As you need to find the best schools,  and pediatricians for your children; you also need to find the best care for your pet.  Since I am a relatively new dog owner,1 week to be exact,  and have very little knowledge of the best vets, dog groomers, pet sitters, in town etc. I have asked my friends with dogs for their recommendations.  I have compiled all of my friend's favorite places below. To the right is a picture of my twin  boys with their new puppy. 

I recommend that  you call a vet before you even relocate.  The  Doctor will be able to give you guidance  with any specific information you need before you actually move into your new home, especially if you are moving from another state or country.

While talking to my friends who have dogs, I have found that many of my friends highly recommend obtaining insurance for a dog.  You can visit www.petinsurance.com for more information.

Stay tuned for more information for dog owners.    My next blog post will be about local places to take your dog for exercise!  If you are reading this post on my outside blog... www.judygreenberg.com and the chart below is not shown property, please click on http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/write/693290 and the chart will be better aligned.
