Planning ahead

It’s important to start planning for your pet’s relocation well in advance, as the process can be quite complicated. The sooner you start planning, the better chance you have of ensuring a smooth move for your furry friend. There are a few things you need to plan for in advance such as:

1. Choose the right pet relocation company

Not all pet relocation companies are created equal. Some are better than others when it comes to experience, safety, and customer service. Be sure to do your research and choose a reputable company that you feel comfortable with.

Tips for selecting the best pet relocation company for your needs:

Ask your friends or family if they’ve used a pet relocation company in the past, and read online reviews to get an idea of what others have experienced. Once you’ve found a few companies you’re interested in, contact them and ask questions about their services. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a pet mover:

– Licensed and insured: Choose a company that is insured in case something goes wrong during the relocation process. This will protect you in case something happens to your pet during transport.

– Reputation: Look for a company with a good reputation that has been recommended by others. Read online reviews from pet owners who have used the company’s services. This will give you a good idea of what to expect.

– Ask for references or testimonials from previous clients. This will give you an idea of the company’s level of service.

– Experience: Make sure the pet relocation company has experience relocating pets and knows how to handle them properly during transport. Find out what type of experience the staff has in handling animals. You want to make sure your pet is in good hands.

– Services offered: Make sure the company offers all of the services you need, such as transportation, boarding, and vet services.

– Ask about the company’s policies regarding food, water, and bathroom breaks. You’ll need to know how often your pet will be able to eat and drink during the trip, as well as where they will be able to relieve themselves.

– Get an estimate of the total cost of the move. Be sure to ask about all of the costs involved, including transportation, insurance, and any other hidden fees or surcharges.

Most pet relocation companies will require a consultation before they can give you an estimate for their services. They will ask you a number of questions about your pet and your upcoming move, in order to get a better understanding of what will be involved in the relocation process.

Be sure to ask about all of the costs involved and then compare the prices of several different companies before making a decision.

2. Get all the necessary paperwork in order

You’ll need to provide proof of your pet’s vaccinations, as well as a health certificate from your veterinarian. It’s also a good idea to get travel insurance for your pet in case something happens during the move.

You’ll need to provide your pet’s health records to the pet relocation company. Be sure to get these in order well in advance of your move.

3. Prepare your pet for a long-distance move

prepare your pets for the move

Just like you, your pet will need to prepare for the move. Once you’ve chosen a pet relocation company and gathered all the necessary paperwork, it’s time to start preparing your pet for transport. There are a few things you can do to prepare your furry friend for the journey.

a) The first thing is to get them used to their carrier or travel crate. Leave the carrier or crate out in your home for a few days so they can get used to it and feel comfortable going inside. You can also put a blanket or toy inside the carrier to make it more inviting. Get them used to being in their carrier to help reduce their stress levels when it’s time to actually relocate them.

b) Make a list of what your pet needs in order to feel comfortable during the move. This might include items like a carrier or crate, a bed, food and water bowls, and toys. Before you buy any supplies your pet needs, be sure to check out some product reviews at DogPetGuide.com.

c) Get your pet’s health checked. Before booking any transport, make sure that your pet is up-to-date on their vaccinations and has a clean bill of health from their veterinarian.

This is important for three reasons: first, it will ensure that your pet is safe during transport; and secondly, most countries require proof of vaccination before allowing pets into the country. Thirdly, many airlines require a health certificate from a veterinarian in order to transport pets, so it’s important to have this in order well before your move date.

d) Pack a bag of supplies for your pet that will include their medication (if needed), a blanket or towel for comfort, food and water dishes. Prepare enough food and water for your pet to last the duration of the trip, plus a little extra in case of delays.

And don’t forget their favorite toys and treats to keep them calmed and occupied! If your pet is prone to motion sickness, talk to your vet about prescribing medication to help them cope with the journey.

It’s also a good idea to include a copy of their vaccination records and any other important documents (like their birth certificate).

d) Label your pet’s belongings. In addition to packing your pet’s essentials, be sure to label all of your pet’s belongings with their name as well as your name and contact information in case anything gets lost or separated during transport.

e) Make arrangements with your new vet. When you relocate with your pet, you’ll need to find a new veterinarian in your area. Be sure to contact them in advance and have all of your pet’s medical records transferred over before you make the move.

f) Confirm pet import requirements. Before bringing your pet into a new country, be sure to confirm all import requirements with the proper authorities. Each country has different regulations regarding what pets are allowed into the country and what documentation is required.

g) Book an appointment with the pet mover company. Once you’ve confirmed all of the necessary details, it’s time to book an appointment with the pet mover company. They will help you arrange transportation for your pet and ensure that all the necessary paperwork is filed correctly.

h) Make travel arrangements for your pet. Along with booking transport for your pet, you’ll also need to make travel arrangements for yourself. This includes booking flights (if necessary) and finding accommodations that allow pets.

i) Make plans for your pet once they reach their destination. You may want to consider boarding them at a kennel or finding a pet-sitter until you’re able to get settled in. The last thing you want is for your pet to be roaming around an unfamiliar place while you’re trying to get settled in yourself.

j)If your pet is going to be staying in a kennel or boarding facility during transport, ask about their rules and regulations beforehand. You don’t want any surprises once your pet is there. Make sure you have an emergency contact number for the kennel or boarding facility in case of an emergency.

Finally, when your furry friend finally arrives at his new home, take time to familiarize your pet with their new surroundings before letting them explore on their own. This may include slowly introducing them to new smells, sounds, and other animals in the area.

Make sure all of his favorite toys and treats are readily available, as well as a litter box if he’s used to one. And don’t forget to show him around his new yard or balcony!

Give him time to adjust. Like any change in routine, relocating with a pet can be stressful. Give him some time to adjust to his new home and surroundings before expecting him to be his old self again. With a little patience and love, he’ll be back to his usual self in no time.

 

The cost of pet relocation

According to Shiloh Animal Express Pet Movers, the cost of moving your pet can vary depending on the size and weight of your pet, the distance of the move, and any additional services you may need.

Typically, the cost will include transportation costs, customs fees, and other associated costs. Be sure to ask your relocation company about what is included in the cost of pet relocation.

Some companies may include transportation costs, while others may not. Customs fees and other associated costs, such as veterinarian check-ups, may also need to be paid for separately. By knowing what to expect ahead of time, you can budget appropriately for your pet’s move.
