7 Tips on How to Move Pets
When you move to your new home, make sure you plan for all members of the #family. Family members include those who walk on four legs, as well as those who crawl or swim. We often do an excellent job of planning to move furniture, and other personal belongs but forget about planning for our pets.
Check out these helpful tips about moving your pets.
1. When choosing the mode of transportation, consider how it will affect your pet
If you have the option of choosing your means of transportation, pick one that will be the least likely to upset your pet. For most pets, traveling by car is the easiest. However, if you are moving across the country or overseas, traveling by plane may be the best choice. If traveling by plane, make sure you check with the airlines to find out about any rules or restrictions on pet #travel.
2. Purchase a transport carrier, if needed
When traveling by car, cats should always be kept in a pet carrier. Dogs can either be kept in a pet carrier or attached to a restraint harness. Securing your pets will ensure that they are not a distraction for the driver, which could be dangerous. Also, if there is an accident, the pet carrier or restraint will help ensure your pet’s safety.
3. Visit the veterinarian before travel
You should plan a visit your #veterinarian at least 30 days before your flight. Many #airlines require you to have a current health certificate for your pet. The rules can be different from state to state, as well as other countries.
4. Prepare a Go-bag for your pet
Prepare a travel bag with food, #medicine, water and other essentials your pet will need. Bring the up-to-date copy of your pet’s medical #records with you.
5. Maintain your pet’s daily routine
Make sure you keep the same routine for your pet during the time leading up to the move. If it is part of your pet’s daily routine, your pets should continue to get their morning walks and regular food. Pet owners often make the mistake of proving their pets with special treats on a trip. While they have good intentions, this is not advisable because it can lead to the pet having nausea or diarrhea.
6. Plan for comfort breaks
Traveling can be tiring and stressful for humans. It has the same effect on your pets. Keep in mind that they are also leaving behind familiar places. Make frequent stops to let your pet exercise and take relief breaks. A general rule is to stop at least once every two hours. On long trips, take your cat’s litter box.
7. Consider using a pet transport service
Finally, consider using an animal transport service. Animal transport companies have the shipping supplies to ensure your pet’s comfort. Their services can be expensive, but your peace of mind in knowing that your pet is in the hands of professionals who transport pets for a living may justify the expense.
When moving your pets, the key is to plan. Regardless of how you plan to travel, make sure your pet will be comfortable too.
