“What are the logistics of moving a pet?”
Pets aren’t just friends; they’re family members. You’ll obviously want to do everything possible to keep pets with you when you relocate. Yet pet relocation is known as a difficult task. To ease the process and help your furry friends reach their new home safely, you’ll need to do some preparation, and perhaps ask for specialist help.
A first important note is that you need to follow the rules and regulations of the country you’re moving to. Generally, most states allow dogs and cats to enter, but if you have other pets, be sure to check any restriction clauses.
Second, you should search for those airlines that allow pets to travel. The best way is to contact the airlines. This can be troublesome, but your pet may not be able to board the plane if you skip this step.
Choosing a comforting crate for the flight is another necessary step in the lead-up to your move. Containers should be the right size as per International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations.
