Tips for Moving with Pets
Summary
Moving can be overwhelming, not just for us but also for our pets. Like children, pets rely on us for care and protection, and the chaos of boxes, strangers, and noise can be intimidating for them. Here are some tips to make the transition smoother for your furry, feathered, or scaly friends.
Pre-Move Preparations
1. Vet Visit: Schedule a check-up to ensure your pet's health is up for the move. Discuss any necessary vaccinations or preventive care with your veterinarian.
2. Health Records: Compile a file with your pet's health records and registration details.
3. Packing: Clearly label a box with all your pet’s belongings. Keep essentials handy for travel and your new home.
4. Local Laws: Research pet regulations in your new area. Confirm if pets are permitted in your new residence and if new registrations or permits are necessary.
5. Find a New Vet: Look for a vet in your new location, ideally recommended by your current one, to ensure continuity of care.
6. Travel Arrangements: If you're moving nearby, consider driving with your pet. For longer distances, familiarize yourself with airline rules for pet travel.
Moving Day Tips
- Secure Environment: During the chaos of packing and unpacking, keep your pet close or in a quiet room with toys and water. If crated, remember to give them regular breaks and walks.
- Pet-Friendly Accommodations: If you need to stop overnight, choose pet-friendly hotels to reduce stress for your pet.
Packing Essentials
Bring an old sheet, toys, medications, medical files, drinking water, food, a sponge, plastic bags, paper towels, and a crate, cage, or leash. For fish, use special containers from aquariums.
Identification and Safety
- ID and Microchip: Update your pet’s ID tag and consider a microchip in case they get lost.
- Professional Help: If you're anxious about moving your pet, hire professionals who specialize in pet transport.
- New Home: If your new country isn't suitable for your pet, consider rehoming them responsibly.
Transportation Notes
Pets cannot be transported in moving vans, and except for service dogs, they aren’t allowed on buses or trains. Plan to travel by car or plane. If your pet seems anxious, consult your vet about a sedative. Check interstate health and vaccination requirements thoroughly.
By preparing in advance and remaining attentive to your pet’s needs, you can ensure a smoother transition to your new home.
