Pet Travel Checklist
Common Questions About Pets & Moving
Can my pet ride in the moving truck?
For safety and liability reasons, pets cannot ride in the cab or the back of the moving truck. They must travel with you in your personal vehicle or via a specialized pet transport service.
How do I keep my pet calm during the move?
Keep them in a quiet room away from the movers. Use familiar bedding and toys. Consult your vet about calming aids if your pet is particularly anxious.
What about moving fish tanks or terrariums?
Moving aquariums requires special preparation. Water must be drained, and fish transported separately. We can move the empty tank, but we recommend consulting a specialist for the livestock.
