Safety Tips for Moving With Kids and Pets
L.Buckley
Moving companies will not move your pets so if you plan to move with your pets, they will be your responsibility. You need specific animal transporters to move your pets if that is what you need. If you don't and you plan on moving with them, here are some tips to make the relocation easier, both for you, your pets and your kids.
If your family move involves air travel, contact airline carriers one month in advance. Ask about their pet regulations, and make reservations. Choose a nonstop flight to avoid extra handling and climate and air-pressure changes. Make sure that your movers are insured for your relocation process.
Can your vet recommend another in your new location? For out-of-state moves, contact the State Department of Animal Husbandry or the state veterinarian about entry regulations-almost all states have entry laws for most animals except tropical fish.
Move food and water bowls, as well as toys, into this room. Provide dogs and cats with sturdy carriers equipped with litter box (for cats), chew toys, or favorite objects that have a familiar smell. Leave carrier doors open so pets can adapt to them before travel day. On moving day, keep animals in their carriers. As an alternative, consider boarding dogs and cats, or ask a friend to care for your dogs during the last few days.
Tips for the Road. If you're traveling by car, keep cats and dogs in carriers large enough to accommodate food and water bowls plus a small litter box for Fluffy. Stop about every two hours to give larger pets some fresh air. Be sure to use a leash if you let your cat out.
Make special Provisions for the first day at the new home. Moving In Dog and cat care suggestions and recommendations. Again, choose a small room to be the pet room, where dogs and cats can feel secure as you move in furniture and belongings.
