How many times in your life do you think you will end up relocating with a dog? How many of these times do you think you will have an entire house full of goods that need to be relocated as well? And how many of these times do you think you will have kids to worry about? Hopefully not too many for your sake! Now just imagine the stress you might experience from having everything in order for your house and your kids but finding out last minute that you missed a crucial step in getting your dog ready! Maybe you don’t have to imagine it because maybe you have already lived it!
We came across this New York Times article about a traffic jam in Jakarta being a lesson in patience. The same could be said about moving with pets to Jakarta or Indonesia, as there is always quite a bit of misinformation and confusion.
Has anyone else been noticing how much smaller the world seems these days? For a while now people have been able to hop on a plane and travel anywhere they want in the world without too much effort. Now, thanks to the arising awareness of pet transport, our furry family members are able to experience the same luxury. With a bit of advanced planning people can now transport pets to just about anywhere. For those remote destinations, pet transport can be difficult but it is never impossible.
Pet transport, be it domestic or international, can be very stressful on both pet owners and pets alike. There are a number of things a pet owner can do to reduce the amount of stress associated with their pet relocation. First and foremost, don’t procrastinate. The worst thing you can do is wait until a week before the travel date to research what requirements must be met for your pet’s move and then rush out to buy a crate last minute only to throw your pet into an unfamiliar box for the big day.
It’s crunch time and you’re finally ready to make the move! Undoubtedly, the pressures are mounting and in the preparation many details are slipping through the cracks. There’s bound to be a lot on your mind but don’t forget that this change in routine and demeanor isn’t going unnoticed by your reasonably befuddled pet.
