Relocating with pets
Toowoomba Removals understands that moving with pets is a big deal. You should give serious thought to pet moving if you have pets. Moving your pet deserves careful consideration well in advance of any relocation & move you make. Don’t leave the planning for moving your pet until the last minute.
If you are relocating to a new home in the near future, it’s time to get your best-friend ready for the big move right away.
Like with human beings & other family members, your pets also need a little extra TLC (tender loving care) at removal time. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make their move easier at both ends, and on the road with removalists.
When you own one or more pets, it is important to take your time around them. That is so you don’t expose them to stress. Stretch out your packing time over several weeks if you can. Avoid panic in the last few days too. That will help make moving day with your removalist as relaxed as possible for both you and your pets.
Make travel arrangements if needed. If moving your pet involves air travel, be sure to contact airline carriers at least one month in advance. Ask about their pet regulations and make reservations. If possible, choose a nonstop flight to avoid extra handling and so that you can minimize climate and air-pressure changes for your pet. Be sure to get any required health certificates & proof of vaccination documents from your veterinarian.
Book a visit with your veterinarian prior to your relocation
Not long before your removal date when you will be moving your pet, request a copy of veterinary records, a rabies vaccination certificate, and a health certificate. Be sure your pets are up-to-date with their shots. If your pet is an older animal, or has health problems, ask whether a mild sedative would be advisable before travel. Be sure to ask if your vet can recommend another veterinarian in the area you are relocating to. For out-of-state moves, contact the State or Regional Veterinary Authority about entry regulations. Be aware that almost all states & regions have entry laws for most animals and even fish.
Maintain a consistent routine with your pets
Keep your pets' routines, such as feedings and walks, as normal as possible, especially in the week before your removal. Do this because both dogs and cats need to feel in control. Be aware that they might exhibit behavioral changes or even become ill if they become stressed. Treat them with the same level of attention you would ordinarily give them.
Consider setting up a safe room for your pet before moving
A few days before pet moving, choose a small room to be the "pet room." Make sure to tape a sign to the door that says "Pets In Here: Do Not Open." Make the sign large enough that friends or the removals company workers can see it easily. 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 to them. Leave carrier doors open, so pets can adapt to them before travel day. On pet moving day, keep animals in their carriers. As an alternative, if needed, consider boarding dogs and cats, or ask a friend to take care of your pets during the last few days prior to your move.
ID tags and leashes for your pets are important to have
If you have a dog or an indoor/outdoor cat, buy or create identification tags with your new address and phone number. Be sure your pets are always wearing them during travel.
Essential Pet Moving Tips For Pets
If you're traveling by car or truck, keep cats and dogs in carriers large enough to accommodate both food and water bowls. Stop about every two hours to give larger pets some fresh air & bathroom breaks. Be sure to use a leash on both dogs & cats if you let them out of your vehicle. Maintain a comfortable vehicle temperature for all pets. Never ever leave animals alone in a vehicle on a hot day. Even with the windows cracked, this can be fatal due to a rise in interior temperature. Birds and other small pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, and the like) are especially susceptible to drafts and heat. Cover cages to keep animals calm and well protected. Remove water bottles except during rest-stop & water breaks.
The Ultimate Pet Moving Checklist:
… Create or update your file with veterinary records, certificates, and recent photos
… Make sure all pet medications are up-to-date
… Gather a supply of your pets' regular foods and bring plenty of bottled water from the home you're leaving. Note that changing their water source can be disorienting and upset their stomachs
… Collect & take food and water bowls, a can opener, and re-sealable lids
… Take along toys, chew bones, and treats
… Remember your leashes (or pet harnesses) for both cats and dogs
… Ready your pet carrier with pillows, towels, or other crate liners
… Ensure you have plenty of plastic poop bags and especially a pooper scooper for dogs
… Get the cat litter box ready & take additional kitty litter
… Get & take cage coverings for birds, rodents & similar pets
… Have paper towels on hand to clean up any messes
… Prepare pet provisions for the first day or two at your new home.
