Know How Early Should You Prepare Your Pet For A Move

Leaving your current home to a new one is as stressing to you as it is on your family pet. It is even worse if you are making a long distance move. It involves so many activities that it can be hard to make the move successfully without the help of a reputable moving company. However, with the help of a long distance moving company such as A-1 Auto Transport, you can rest assured that your moving process will be smooth and stress-free. Nevertheless, prior preparation plays a significant role in ensuring that you move to your new home smoothly.

This article provides an overview of how early you should prepare your pet for a move.

Preparing your pet for a move

One question many people ask is how early should one prepare their pet for a move? While there is no definite time that would be considered the ideal for pet moving; how well you prepare your pet for a move determines the extent of resistance and challenges you should expect during the move. Additionally, taking the time to prepare adequately for the pet move gives you the chance to have all the necessary arrangements needed for a smooth move. Before hiring any long distance moving company, you will need to have all the necessary documents in place.

A-1 Auto Transport can help you move your household goods nationwide. Call 888-241-3110 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote on interstate moving services.

Preparing your pet for the move, beforehand, is important for the following reasons:

Recommended Long Distance Moving Companies

It allows you to familiarize with all the pet laws and regulations

There are numerous laws that govern the process of moving pets from one region to the other. If you prepare in a rush, the chances are high that you might fail to fulfill some of these laws and regulations. You need enough time to consult with the State Department of Agriculture of the Veterinarian's office to ensure that all laws and regulations are met.

It helps maintain a normal routine

It is important to pack over a long period of time in order to maintain your pet’s normal routine. It is advisable to ensure that your pet does not start developing a sense of being moved early. If you plan in advance, you avoid a stressful move for your animal.

Early preparation allows you enough time to visit the vet

Your pet should be inspected before any travel. Some tests might take some time before they are out and hence, you need to check with your vet some weeks before the day of the move to avoid inconveniences. In other instances, especially where quarantine is a must, your pet might be grounded for many weeks.

Evidently, there is no definite time to define how early you should prepare your pet for a move. However, starting early is recommended especially if you are moving over a long distance. This is because it gives you ample time to get the right moving company, and prepare all the required documents. Additionally, it gives you sufficient time to acclimatize both you and the pet with the imminent move.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
