    Prepare your dog for a long distance move

    By Bailey N. | Before the move | 0 comment | 18 February, 2022 | 0

    If you are moving soon to another state or to another city that is far away from your current home and you have a dog – how to organize this relocation? How to prepare your dog for a long distance move and make the relocation process safe and easy?

    Luckily for you, there are some tips you should try. They are verified by dog owners. Move your best friend and make him/her feel safe. It may sound complicated, but when you have the right guide to follow, nothing can stop you.

    To drive or to fly?

    It is an important factor to know in advance how will you travel to a new home? It depends on the distance. Since it is a long-distance relocation, most people choose to fly. When moving internationally, flying is a must.

    If you are driving, having your dog in your car is not a problem. If you will take a plane, check first with an airline company what are their rules and regulations with dogs. Usually, small dogs may ride in a carrier under your seat, you will need to pay an additional fee. It can cost up to $200. Larger dogs fly in the cargo area, in a climate-controlled area. These fees are higher.

    Prepare your dog for a long distance move

    Deciding how you will travel is one part of the process. Another part includes preparing your dog for a long distance move.

    One of the first steps to take is to call visit a vet. Before you move, you should take your dog to the veterinarian for a general health checkup, just in case. It may take weeks until you find a vet in your new home city. What should you do is to get up to date on vaccinations and obtain any documentation you may need when moving a dog.

    Pack an essential moving box for your dog. It should contain water, dog food, a toy, a blanket, and a bed. This box will be opened first after moving and packed last. You can beat the fear of long distance moving by packing properly.

    Be there for your dog before and after moving because they will feel something is going on. Some dogs get sad and scared.

    If you are moving with a moving company

    You must choose a moving company that is dog-friendly. Pick a rental truck company that allows animals in the cab. In the case, pets are not allowed, keep searching. When moving with your pets, choosing a moving company is a little bit different than usual. It is not harder, you just need to make sure pets are allowed.

    There is another option to consider. Hiring a moving company for pets. They are specialized in this field and they have all the right equipment needed and experience. Having a dog for a long distance move will be easy for them.
