Your pet could be [tough|loud|slobbering| or [cute|small] – it doesnt matter what your pet is like, you love it and therefore [moving|transporting|taking|delivering|couriering] them to a new location can seem [daunting|challenging|hard|problematic]. As living creatures, your pet will require more attention and special care than usual. Pets vary by species, breed and temperament, which can all affect how you prepare for them to be moved. If you need more information, online resources like Shiply can give you useful tips on how to transport your pets safely.
[Take your pets to vets|Veterinary check-up]
In most cases you will need to take them to a vet for a check-up and to be given the all-clear that your furry friend is well enough to travel. This potentially could be avoided with a pet that require little care such as lizards and fish. Your pet should be up to date with all the relevant shots finding a new vet in a new location can often take some time. When you go to the vets it would be a good time to ask for all relevant certificates and veterinary records; a health certificate is needed if your pet is travelling by air. Your vet may prescribe your pet a sedative for when it travels and this will help by making your pet calmer in unfamiliar surroundings.
[Identification|ID]
Before you set off, take a recent photo of your pet in the rare circumstance that yours gets lost. Make sure your pets have identification attached when they are being delivered. An ID collar with all your relevant information would be perfect.
[Moving day|The big day]
You will want to keep your pet at a location outside of the house when it comes to moving day. The chaotic environment will spook the majority of pets. Consider keeping your pet in a kennel a couple of days before moving day, leaving you free to pack up your house. If you cant do this, keep one room of the house just for keeping your pet secure whilst you prepare for your move.
[Create a travelling list|Travelling inventory]
Create a list of things the pet will need during transportation, such as cages, carriers, toys and blankets. Always feed and water your pet approximately five or six hours before being moved to your new address. Its not only people that can get carsick! Remember, you can always hire a DEFRAlicensed pet courier to take the hassle out of moving your pet if all this seems like to much trouble.
[At your new place|Upon arrival]
When your pet arrives at your new home give it its favourite treat and plenty of affection as moving can sometimes be a stressful time for animals. Let your pet become acclimatised to its new environment by letting it in all the rooms in the house.
