Rest assured, we are well-versed in local quarantine requirements and government regulations associated with pet transportation.
Here are some valuable tips to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey for your pets:
- Prioritize Health: Before your move, schedule a veterinary examination to ensure your pet's health. Obtain copies of vaccination records and a health certificate if required. Update identification tags and discuss with your veterinarian any tranquilizers or precautionary measures that may be necessary for the trip.
- Familiarize with Car Travel: If you're traveling to your new home by car, help your pet become comfortable with auto travel by taking short trips around the neighborhood beforehand. This will acclimate them to the experience and reduce anxiety on the day of the move.
- Careful Feeding and Hydration: Avoid feeding your pet for at least seven hours prior to the trip. Instead, pack a container of fresh, cool water for their hydration needs. Remember to make frequent stops for walks and bathroom breaks to keep them comfortable throughout the journey.
- Pet-Friendly Accommodations: If you plan to stay overnight at a hotel during your move, ensure that the hotel allows pets. Your pet's comfort and safety should remain a priority at all times.
- Safety Measures for Birds and Small Pets: Birds and small pets like hamsters can travel in carriers placed in stable, well-ventilated areas free of drafts. To calm your pet, consider covering the carrier while the vehicle is in motion. If you're transporting your pet by air, contact the airline well in advance to understand their regulations and available services.
Additional Considerations for Air Travel:
- Opt for Direct Flights: Choose direct flights whenever possible to minimize the time your pet spends confined in transit.
- Appropriate Air-Transport Carrier: Select a portable carrier that provides enough space for your pet to stand and move comfortably.
- Acclimation to the Carrier: Allow your pet sufficient time to get accustomed to the carrier well before the trip. This familiarity will help them feel more at ease during the journey.
- Proper Labeling: Don't forget to clearly mark the carrier with "Live Animal," your pet's name, your new address and phone number, and any special handling instructions.
