The Best Pet Relocation Method For Your Pet.

  Should you ever catch yourself wondering what to with your dog when you are relocating, there’s only one correct answer: never leave your pet behind! Remember that it is your responsibility to relocate your dog to your new house because professional state to state movers, no matter how trustworthy and reliable they are, are not allowed to transport pets or plants for safety reasons.

Pet Relocation By Car travel:

 The best way to move house with dogs is to relocate them with your own vehicle. This way, you will be able to keep a watchful eye on your loyal companion while the latter will feel much calmer and safer with their master (that is you). If your dog is not accustomed to traveling in a car, the move could turn out to be a rather stressing experience for everyone.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do before the car trip and while on the road to lessen your pup’s elevated stress and anxiety during a Pet Relocation.

• Be proactive. The mandatory visit to the family vet discussed above must have given you some practical ideas on how exactly you plan to execute the long distance move with your dog. If you suspect that your pet will become extremely restless during the trip, make sure you have discussed with the veterinarian whether the use of anti-anxiety medications or even adequate sedatives will be a good solution for your animal pal.
• Have practice car drives. This is an interesting approach that you can use in your favor in case your pet has very little experience as a car passenger. The idea here is to make your pup a bit more comfortable inside the confines of a moving vehicle and thus, hopefully, turn the upcoming car journey into a much calmer and even pleasurable experience for all participants. So, a few weeks before the actual relocation, take your loyal pet on short car rides around the neighborhood as good practice for the real test later on.
• ID your dog. Your dog should never begin the moving journey without proper identification. Update the details of your pup’s collar with your new address and phone number. If your animal friend is microchipped, then you need to contact the keeper of the database and ask them to update the contact information.
• Pack a travel bag. Make sure you have taken a piece of your dog’s old world to keep them company and provide much needed comfort during this transitional period – their favorite blanket, most loved food, trusty chew toys or anything else that your loyal friend loves and is well familiar with. Also, don’t forget to take fresh water, baby wipes, and a first aid kit for your pal.
• Make frequent stops. Your dog will probably be getting more and more restless with each driven mile, so do your best to make frequent stops whenever possible. Take your friend outside for some fresh air and a calming effect on their canine nerves, but don’t forget to keep your pet on a leash too. Playing relaxing music in the car could help your pet become more at ease during the long distance drive.
• Plan your trip wisely. If you plan to stay at a hotel or motel, never leave your dog unattended in the vehicle, but rather find a place with a pet-friendly policy and spend the night together with your furry friend. It’ll be best if you can arrange to spend the night at a friend’s house along the way so that your pet feels better at a more familiar home-like environment.

 During a long distance out-of-state car trip, it’s a great idea to keep your dog occupied so that they don’t become too restless or scared while on the road. Games are always fun, so ask your pet to bark once when they spot a license plate from the state you just left, twice for a license plate from the state you’re moving to, and three times if your clever dog recognizes the same make and model of the vehicle you own.

 Never leave their dogs unattended in a parked car. “On travel day, provide them with a small amount of water instead of food. Be sure fresh water is accessible to them during the entire trip and make frequent stops for your dog to eliminate and stretch all fours. Look into pet-friendly hotels if you’ll be spending the night on the road. Be sure to pack a box with all of your pet’s necessities for the trip. A favorite toy or a piece of clothing with your scent on it may be a calming influence for your pet during the pet relocation process.
