Here are some tips for moving with pets

1. Visit the vet

   Your vet can help with vaccines, quarantine rules, and updating microchip and ID tags.

2. Condition your pet

   Reduce disruptions and box attacks by conditioning your pet ahead of time.

3. Avoid changing their routine

   Pets are creatures of habit, so try not to change their routine to reduce stress.

4. Use a pet travel crate, gates and harnesses

   Make sure the carrier is airline-approved, well-ventilated, and spacious enough for your pet.

   Keep your pet safe and secure during travel to prevent them from distracting the driver or becoming a dangerous projectile.

5. Pack an essentials bag

   Include food, water, treats, plastic bags, medications, kitty litter, scooper, poop bags, toys, bones, leashes, and blankets.

6. Take your pet in your vehicle

   If possible, take your pet in your own vehicle to help them acclimate to the new location.

7. Give your pet time to adjust

   Give them space to explore the new home at their own pace, and understand that their behavior and appetite maybe a little different for a few days.
