What is pet relocation?
Pet relocation helps families and individuals move pets safely and thoughtfully, ensuring you secure the proper health documentation, timing, transportation options, and arrival coordination. We understand how important your pets are to you, and coordinating the move for your pet can be stressful and concerning. We work with only the top-rated providers of this service. Our experience is your pet often is the member of the family who has the best time moving from one home to another!
Practical pet-moving checklist
- Contact Cend early so your advisor can help identify pet transportation requirements for your destination and timeline.
- Check airline, ground transportation, destination, and building requirements before confirming travel plans.
- Schedule a veterinarian visit to confirm vaccinations, health checks, travel readiness, and any medications your pet may need.
- Collect vaccination records, health certificates, medical records, and any signed veterinarian letters required for travel.
- Update pet ID tags and microchip information with current contact details before moving day.
- Prepare a travel kit with food, water, medication, leash, collar, waste bags, bedding, comfort items, and favorite toys.
- Keep your pet secure on moving day and consider temporary pet care during packing, loading, unloading, or other high-traffic moments.
- Reestablish food, medication, walks, and rest routines quickly after arrival so your pet can settle into the new home.
