Question
HI. I HAVE TO MOVE TO GERMANY, I HAVE NOT DECIDED WHEN YET,BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RELOCATE MY DOG TO GERMANY?(WHAT MONTH OR SEASON?)

Answer
I don’t know if one season is better over another.  I think the most important thing regarding season or weather is to make sure you are able to take long walks as you first arrive.  Being able to reduce any anxiety by taking long walks with your dog will help ease the transition.  So extreme heat or cold may not be the best time but depending on the breed it may not matter as much.  More importantly, when would you feel more comfortable being outside walking with your dog?  

Hope this helps

My expertise is how to handle pets when you travel and can't take them with you. How to pick a good kennel, dog day care or overnight facility. Should I leave with friends or have a dog walker come into my home. How do I know that my pet will be taken care of properly?

Experience

I have had a dog since I was 3 years old. In my professional life I was traveling quite a bit so my dog boarded more often that I would have liked. I got tired of the corporate world and now own a doggie day care and overnight facility. My expertise is in how to pick a kennel for your pet when you travel.
