3 Tips for Moving Long Distance With Pets
- Make sure everything is in order well before you leave for your new apartment. You want to make sure your pet\'s ID tags are up to dateĀ and schedule an appointment with the veterinarian to make sure there are no health issues.
- Plan out your transportation in advance. If you are driving, you want to look for the best route, pet-friendly hotels, rest areas and meals. If you are flying, book a non-stop flight and check for alternatives in case your pet cannot travel in the cargo hold.
- Remember, your pet needs to adjust to his new home. Unpack familiar items such as his bed, favorite toys and food and water bowls. Keep an eye on your pet until he adjusts to his new surroundings.
