Advanced planning ahead.
Pet carrier put a label with your name and address with phone number on the inside of the carrier. just in case. Make sure they have on their collars.
Use a sturdy pet carrier for safety reasons; make sure its high quality and safe.
Gradually get your pet accustomed to spending time in the carrier.
Get your pet and ID tag with new address also phone number on it.
Place your pet in a secure place either in the house or placed in the carrier.
Make sure movers know the room is off limits. Place a notice on the door just in case they forget. You could place the pet in a special room during the time of the move.
Be prepared for your car trip. Cats especial should be in a carrier because most cats do not like ridding in a car. Have a harness on your pet during the trip.
Never leave your pet unattended or alone in the car when
temperatures are hot or cold even when you park the car.

Doggie bags and shovels.

Doggie bags and shovels. Pickup your invisible doggie bags and shovel. How many pet owners
taking their dogs for a walk have these invisible bags and shovels?

In our city of note we have doggie bags that are available for free with a Dumpster near by located along the lake Michigan beach. This was to help control waste that has been left on the sidewalks and grass areas surrounding the Sandie beach. In an efforts to help illuminate the problem.

Do you think the pet owners have taken the hint to use these free doggie baggies? Their still using those invisible doggie bags and shovels. I've been wondering were you can purchase them? Because i sure would like to know..

Some Pets owners claim its their dog who is naughty, but i think
if they don't bother to pickup after their pets. They just might
be a naught pet owner. i know they wouldn't want their pet waste left in their yards maybe that is why some of them take their pets for walks. Free dumpster and baggies didn't work for these pet owners. So their doing it deliberate.
I know there are a lot of good pet owners but when a city provides for cleaning up after their dogs and still it doesn't work. Than these owners are just not nice to do it on other people property and that includes our parks and Beach's.

If you have a friend who does this maybe for a Christmas buy either their dog baggies and a shovel. You never know they just might take the hint and use it.
After all they wouldn't like others leaving a messes in their yards, would they....
Maybe signs would work..
Help keep our public places clean for those who use them which includes their pet.
Thanks for reading.
Best!
