You are getting ready to move and, of course, you will be taking your pet with you. Here are some helpful hints on how to make your move as pleasant as possible for your pet.
Be sure to consult with your veterinarian about your pet before making any plans. Depending on the age and physical condition of your pet, your vet may have some specific recommendations, such as medication to prevent motion sickness.
If you are going to fly your pet to a new location, check with your specific airline and make your reservations early. A health certificate will be required. You will also need to check on the availability of a crate. All crates on the airplane must meet standards for size, strength and ventilation.
If your pet is not accustomed to being in the car, take the pet on several short trips three or four weeks prior to your moving date so that it can get more comfortable with the car. ON moving day, take along some of your pet's favorite toys. Make hotel reservations at least three weeks in advance and reconfirm your reservations 24 hours before you leave. The AAA can provide you with a list of pet friendly hotels.
