While driving, it is best to confine animals to a small portable kennel to avoid distractions. Don't leave pets alone in a car for extended periods. Even on cloudy days, a car's temperature can quickly reach lethal levels. It is best to keep the pets confined in a kennel, the windows open and the car shielded from direct sunlight. No matter the age of the pets' old bed, don't be tempted to replace it until the pets are used to their new home.
Overseas moves require researching quarantine and medical restrictions in the foreign country.
The airlines, the international moving company and veterinarians are sources to learn about food and water restrictions plus required licenses, certificates and vaccinations. If pets must be transferred from one airline to another, know the procedure and responsible parties. Also be sure to mark the kennel with the family name, destination address and telephone number. Caring for family pets is a good job for children who are old enough to assume the responsibility. Most important is to be consistent with the pets' care, house rules and routines.
