Before you print
Who, what, when, where and why
What it is
A rolling 12-month night log, destination-security audit, carer briefing, vehicle plan and return-home record.
When to use it
Start it before the first night away, update every date as it happens, and calculate the rolling total before agreeing another stay.
Where it works best
Keep the master with the certificate holder and give the temporary carer a redacted handover page plus the equipment and emergency contacts they need.
Why it was created
Official guidance permits a maximum of 30 days at another address in a 12-month period. Memory is not a dependable way to manage a rolling legal limit.

Decision moments
8 circumstances when this asset is useful
The owner is admitted to hospital
Use the pre-agreed emergency carer, secure-entry route and running night total rather than arranging an unbriefed last-minute handover.
A holiday or family visit is planned
Count the nights before booking and inspect the destination’s boundaries and public exits.
Building work makes home insecure
Record temporary accommodation dates and verify the alternative site before moving the dog.
A boarding provider is considered
Confirm in writing that the provider accepts an exempt dog and can meet legal, insurance, licensing, welfare and handling requirements.
The dog crosses a UK territory boundary
Check both administrative systems before travel, especially if the trip could become a permanent move.
A vehicle breaks down
Use the written roadside plan to keep the dog secured, muzzled and led if it must enter a public place.
The 30-day total is close
Recalculate the rolling 12 months and obtain legal advice rather than estimating or resetting at the calendar year.
A stay becomes a permanent move
Stop treating it as temporary and contact the responsible authority about the correct address-change process.
