Moving with Pets: Safety and Preparation Tips
Keep Pets Away from the Work Area
Open doors, equipment, noise, and unfamiliar people can cause stress or escape. Use a closed room, secure carrier, boarding service, or trusted caregiver.
Update Identification
Confirm tags, microchip information, licenses, and veterinary records before the move. Keep a recent photo available.
Prepare a Travel Kit
Pack food, water, bowls, medication, waste supplies, bedding, a leash, carrier, and comfort items separately from household boxes.
Transport Pets Yourself
Household moving trucks are not appropriate for transporting animals. Use a safe, climate-controlled passenger vehicle and follow veterinary advice.
Create a Quiet Arrival Space
Set up one secure room with familiar items before allowing the pet to explore the new home gradually.
