Cats and Dogs
Cats and Dogs can be taken in your car. If so, remember to
take along the following items:
 Food
Water
A leash
for letting your pet out of the car
Newspaper
or sheets to keep your car clean
Animals can get car-sick and will require frequent stops
along the way. Also, check ahead to see if the hotel where
you are staying allows pets. Depending on the animal’s
temperature and size, it might be better to have it shipped
by air. Be sure to check if your destination has any local
requirements or restrictions on animals.
To have your pet shipped by air, make sure someone can meet
your pet at the destination airport and take care of it until
you arrive. A kennel can do this for you and keep your pet
until you have completed your move, if necessary.
If you are flying to your destination, your cat or dog can
ride in the baggage compartment.
You may need the following items:
Health Certificate
Obtain this from your veterinarian.
Pet Container
The airline might have a special container available or you
can use your own as long as it complies with airline regulations.
Tranquilizers
Your vet can provide tranquilizers to be given to your pet
immediately before going to the airport.
Your Scent
Having a piece of cloth with your scent on it can comfort
your pet.
Smaller Animals
Hamsters, birds and other small animals can easily be transported
in your car. To help keep the animals calm and quiet, cover
cages with a cloth. Also, make sure they have food and water
available.
Fish
It can be very impractical and risky to move fish.
Check with your local pet store for recommendations on moving
your specific type of fish.
