PET TRANSPORT
When moving pets, there are
several important guidelines.
Before you leave:
1) Make an appointment & have your pet examined by your veterinarian; collect
pet records.
2) Ask your vet for a reference for a practitioner in the new city.
3) Air travel should be booked four weeks ahead of departure for domestic moves and six to
eight weeks prior to international flights.
4) If you are moving overseas, your pet must be examined & vaccinated 30 days prior.
5) Secure a form of identification to your pet's collar.
At Moving Day:
1) When
booking a hotel or corporate housing, make sure the management allows pets.
2) Before crossing into another state, know that some states have border inspection of all
animals.
3) Limit feeding of your pets to once a day during the move, preferably in the evening,
unless your veterinarian instructs otherwise.
4) The appropriate size for a kennel should allow your pet room to stand up, lie down, and
turn around in natural positions.
5) If you are moving locally, take your pets on several visits to the new home before you
move in to familiarize them with their new habitat. |
AUTO TRANSPORT
When considering automobiles in a move, often a full-service moving
company will place a vehicle in the moving van. When moving yourself, auto
tow-trailers can be hitched to the back of a moving truck. These arrangements,
however, usually only handle one vehicle. When considering a second or third
vehicle, there are several options:
1) Sell your vehicles prior to moving, and purchase new ones
at your destination.
2) Have one of the family members drive the vehicle to your destination.
3) Hire an automobile transportation service to move the extra vehicle(s) for you.
"Timing is everything" when arranging a
professional auto move. Scheduling the move can be a challenging, complex and
sometimes overwhelming undertaking. There are school and office hours to consider,
for example. It is important to use an auto mover that coordinates the move so that it
most suits your needs, creating a smooth transition.
