My partner and I will be moving to Barcelona for their job in a few months and there are a few things we’re worried about with the move. Primarily we have two dogs that we will be moving with us. Anyone know what it’s like finding an apartment to rent with multiple pets? We’re worried we will have a hard time finding a place with the dogs. Also, I’m concerned about finding work for myself there as we’re aware the local job market and economy isn’t great — we won’t need me to make an income but I’d prefer if I had a way to make money for myself still. I don’t speak Spanish (starting lessons) but I do have over a decade worth of teaching experience in yoga and other forms of fitness, wondering if it’s an option to pick up gig work in the industry easily so I’m not idle while we’re there.
Any tips or personal experiences shared are greatly appreciated.
Did you get all the paperwork to move your dogs there? Moving pets usually requires a lot of certifications, shots done at specific times. Often you have to get Rabies shots a very specific amount of time before they travel, like anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months. If you don’t have records of all your pets vaccinations, you may have to get them again. You will definitely want to contact the authorities regarding this. In addition you need a license to own a dog in Spain and insurance for each of the animals as well as a pet passport.You will need to have these in order before they get there, or they may force you to send the pet back to the US or euthanize it.
