5 Things To Know About Moving Your Pets

Pets are our family. And as we decide to relocate, they need to come with us. How can you leave those cute balls of love behind? There is not much knowledge about pet relocation.

Here is what you need to know:

Choosing a specific date and count down to it:

Choosing the exact date of when you want your pet to travel has to be planned well in advance. Bookings need to be made and enough time has to be given for all the paperwork to go through. Once you have chosen a date, begin planning.

Preparing your pet and yourself for the travel:

Like it is for kids, long flights can make your pet sick or restless. Most international relocation processes will take around 1-3 months to prepare your pet for travel. If you are moving to rabies-free countries, it might take longer than that. Relocation can make you and your pet anxious. With professionals like 21st Century Relocations in place, things will move smoothly.

Ensuring your pet is vaccinated:

Depending on where you are travelling to, your pet will be needed to be vaccinated. An recent rabies vaccination is one of the most important requirements. Find out which ones are needed or simply hire an international specialist for your pet moving needs.

Get all the documentation in place:

Certain breeds of dogs cannot travel to a different country. Certain pets cannot leave their native countries as well. Also, the documentation for your pet must be error-free to avoid any delay due to a minor discrepancy. It is best to let the experts take care of all the documentation as it can get complicated at times. There are strong legal provisions in place to avoid the spreading of diseases from one country to another through pets.

Choosing an airline and getting a travel crate:

All airlines have a different policy when it comes to transporting pets. You will also need a travel crate for your pet that is approved by the airline. You need to check that the size of the crate you already have or are purchasing is permissible by the airline. It can be overwhelming to choose the right airline and make the necessary travel arrangements for your pet. Your pet might need a microchip and most of the times a microchip is recommended. Taking expert help is always recommended.
