Pet Relocation

Relocating is a major life event for the entire family, including a pet. A dog might be used to his own street routine. A cat might be unhappy with the unfamiliar environment. Adding travel and moving to a new city means that pet relocation requires a slightly different approach to household moving services.

Professional Pet Relocation Services will help you organise the transportation part of your move considering the animal's needs.

A pet is not like luggage that can be simply put into a car and moved to another place.

An animal's breed, character, travelling experience and destination point play a significant role. An experienced adult dog will have a different experience than a cat who is nervous about traveling or a young puppy. The owner also has to take into consideration such issues as food, rest, documentation and the kind of carrier or transportation arrangement required.

Depending on the route of the travel, the service of Pet Relocation Services can include:

• Travel and routing arrangement
• Pick-up and drop-off coordination
• Pet carrier assistance
• Transportation arrangement
• Documentation arrangement
• Scheduling coordination
• Destination delivery assistance

Depending on the distance and applicable transport regulations, the service can include the above mentioned and more.

Safety is one of the topmost priorities of many pet owners and there is nothing wrong with it.

Traveling can be a taxing experience for pets as well, especially those who have never traveled before. Proper planning before traveling can help ease the burden and ensure that the pet is safe during the whole process. The appropriate carrier of the pet should be arranged along with the proper travel guidelines and documents before traveling.

In case of international travel, the preparation process can require additional requirements that airlines and the destination countries require. The requirements will vary depending on the location and may also be subject to changes from time to time. It is better to check the relevant travel and document requirements before traveling.

Take for example, a family moving from Delhi to Bengaluru via air, train or road.

However, their dog needs to go on a separate route. The animal's journey should be arranged in the context of the entire relocation process of the family.

At the first contact, we discuss the main details: pet's species, size, pick-up location, destination point, preferred date of relocation and any specific requirements concerning the animal.

The transportation arrangements are discussed based on the journey. The carrier, required documentation and preparation process can differ and clients are informed about the information required to be provided.

Prior to the trip, collect all the documents regarding your pet. Vaccination records, veterinary documents and identification papers can be required depending on the distance.

On the day of the travel, the pick-up and transportation are organised according to the previously arranged procedure. At the destination point, the delivery is performed.

Keep some familiar items like a small blanket in a ready-to-use condition. A familiar smell can ease the travel for some animals.

What Can Influence the Price of Pet Relocation?

There is no universal price of Pet Relocation Services. The cost of the service can depend on the distance, pet size, transportation method, carrier requirements, documentation, route and additional services involved in the process.

Domestic pet relocation will have a simpler cost structure than international relocation, which involves airline requirements and additional documentation.

Of course, the professional pet transportation service can be more expensive than organizing the journey for your pet personally. However, the service can be useful in case of long distances or numerous relocation tasks that require special attention.

Pet Relocation Example

Let us say that a family is moving to another city because of their relocation. In addition, they have to prepare their home and get their children ready to attend school and plan the move which happens over the weekend. They need to move their dog to the new city.

Instead of organizing the pet's transportation at the last moment, the family can discuss the journey earlier, get familiar with the requirements, collect the information and coordinate the animal's travel schedule with their relocation plan.

This little preparatory work can significantly decrease the stress level of the moving week.
