If you are moving across
the country or overseas and are wary about how the transition will affect your
pets, you are not alone. Moving can be a stressful experience - even more so
for animals. They are used to roaming around their natural habitat, a place
they've become accustomed to. In order to make the transition easier for every
member of the family, there are a few things to keep in mind when transporting
your pets.
There are different laws
regarding pet transportation from state to state as well as overseas. Before
you plan your move, make sure you are well informed on the regulations you must
follow when transporting your pet to your new home. In some states, you have to
harness your pets for the duration of travel, while others are a bit more lenient.
Another thing to keep in
mind is that professional moving services do not transport pets, so you have to
plan accordingly and find appropriate accommodations. Not to mention, your
beloved dog or cat will feel more comfortable traveling with you.
If you're looking to make your move easier,
consider consulting a moving and storage company such as Mooney's Moving & Storage an interstate agent for Stevens Worldwide VanLines. The moving company refers its clients to professional pet movers who can
assist with the logistics and transportation of animals across any distance.
