2. Make pet travel plans for long-distance moves
Will your pet be traveling by car or plane if you’re making a long-distance
move? Many pet owners have to weigh the pros and cons of a multi-day road
trip vs. airplane travel when moving day comes. If you’re going by car, make
sure to talk to your vet about medication if your pet gets car sick. Research
pet-friendly hotels along the way and book rooms in advance. Make sure your
pet gets plenty of potty breaks and opportunities to eat and drink along the
way. Pets should of course never be transported in a moving van. For airplane
travel, small dogs and cats can ride in carriers in the cabin with you, while
larger dogs will have to go in cargo. Book your ticket in advance as the
number of pets allowed per flight is limited.
