If you ever move and don’t have an established relationship with a vet. I’d highly recommend scheduling a pet wellness visit right after you move. You might be surprised that it could take months to get a new patient appointment for your dog. Much like a human if anything happens in the meantime you’re screwed at having to seek care that’s more expensive by going to urgent care or ER.

Also when a dog is evidently ill, it’s a bit like a farmer showing up at an ER.
