Moving with a pet, especially into a new apartment, can take some time and is not always as easy as it seems. You need to be prepared and have some good organization in place ahead of time to ensure that you have everything that you need to keep yourself and your pet as comfortable as possible along the way. Some of the tips that you can use when it is time to move with a pet includes:

# Pack a moving day bag that is just for the pet. This can include any of the medications they take, some poop bags, toys that they like including some chew toys, kitty litter, a leash, and bowls for food and water. 

# Make sure that you have a durable pet carrier that is suitable for traveling to keep them safe. 

# If you do plan to fly to get to your new home, make sure that you contact the airline ahead of time to reserve a spot on the plane for your pet. Be aware that you may need to pay an additional pet fee to get this done.
# Keep plenty of water on hand during the move to keep your pet hydrated. 

# Check the rules and regulations concerning pets in the new city. 

# Make sure that all of the information on your pet’s ID tag is correct and that it has the right contact information for you in case something goes wrong.
# Collect all of the records for your pet before you move. You may need to show proof of these and having them on hand can help when picking out a new vet. 

# If you are able to board the pet or have them with someone else for a few days during the move, then this is a good idea. This allows you to get more done and can keep your pet’s stress levels lower. 

# Allow your pet some time to adjust to the new space. Don’t try to force anything or you can stress them out.
# Find a new vet for your pet as soon as possible after the move.
