Guide to Transporting Your Pet Cross Country

By Mommy Lei -



Relocating across the country is an exciting and life-changing transition. We all know that there is quite a bit of stress that comes with moving house and this can be an overwhelming process for everyone in the family and more so, for your pets. The reason being is that pets have an instinctive fear of a new environment, so you want to help them get adjusted quickly. If you are moving to a new city or state, you are likely to be worried about your pet's wellbeing. Do not let this cause additional stress. Read on for some tips on moving with your pet safely and make it an enjoyable experience.

Preparing and packing

Packing your possessions, decluttering unwanted ones, and prepping your current home for the next owner or renter are all parts of the moving process. All these can all impact your pet. Here are some important ways to care for your furry friend during the chaos.

Visit the vet
Bring your pet to the vet for checkup about a month before your moving date. This will ensure that your pet is healthy and has updated the health records which you can give to your next vet. You may want to talk to your vet if you are concerned about your pet's stress level during any part of the moving process.

Keeping your pets calm
You may start packing your home weeks or even months ahead of your moving date. Although it is a tedious process, it is probably a stressful one for your pet. Pets, especially dogs, thrive on routine so as the home or the surrounding they know and love begins to change, it may increase its anxiety level. Start packing up areas that your pet does not spend much time in first like the garage, basement or attic.

Keep moving boxes out of the way
Do note that stacking boxes within reach of your pet can be a safety hazard. They may also cause distress to your pets as they are a barrier to certain parts of the house.

Leave your pet’s belongings out until moving day
To help your pet feel secure during the moving madness, you may have to leave the box crate, kennel or cat's carrier around until the moments before packing the truck.

Transporting your pet

Traveling by car is the best way to travel with pets as this puts them in the least amount of stress. Another good way to prevent stress is to take your pet on short drives in the days leading to the move. This will allow your pet to acclimatize to car travel.

If in any case that you are unable to travel with your pet on the day of your move, then you may need to hire a professional pet mover. Pet movers offer a variety of services such as personally transporting your pets by car and they have the experience in navigating tricky situations.

Finding an affordable and reliable pet transport service that you can trust is often not always straightforward.
