How to Prepare Your Pet for a Long-Distance Move with Atlas Van Lines

Relocating to a new home is exciting, but it can be overwhelming for your pets. To help ease their transition, Atlas Van Lines, in partnership with Paws en route, has compiled a few tips on preparing your pets for a long-distance move.

  1. Plan Early: Reach out to us as soon as you know your moving date. Early planning ensures we can accommodate your pet’s specific needs, especially for international moves requiring additional paperwork.
  2. Get Your Pet Familiar: If your pet is travelling in a carrier, let them get used to it in advance. Place their favorite blanket or toy inside to create a comforting environment.
  3. Visit the Vet: Schedule a vet visit to ensure your pet is healthy and has up-to-date vaccinations. This is especially important for air travel.
  4. Keep Comfort in Mind: To make your pet feel more secure during the move, make sure it has access to water and familiar items, like a toy or blanket.

With Paws en route, we ensure your pet is well cared for throughout their journey. Our team at Atlas Van Lines is here to answer any questions you have about the process. Let us help you make the move as easy as possible for you and your pet!
