Figure out a timeline. Investigate travel options. Explore your new city.
Organizing an overseas move is a challenge. It is important to realize that just like yourself, your pet requires a lot of organization before moving. You cannot just decide on the spur of the moment to move your pet. Typically, moving a pet overseas requires months of planning. Depending on which country you move to, there may be a certain time frame for vaccinations. For example, sometimes your pet may need his vaccinations 3-6 months before arriving in the new country. Once you have researched the requirements, meet with your vet to discuss a potential timeline. When you are deciding whether or not to move your pet, take into account that he may not be able to move with you as soon as you are ready. Airlines have different policies regarding pet travel. Start contacting airlines to ask about the specific qualifications for traveling with your type of pet. For example, some airlines may allow your cat to be stowed under your seat in a carrier. Others will require him to travel in the cargo area. Ask the airline whether they practice pet-safety policies. These policies include always keeping animals in a climate controlled area, making sure that pets are the first ones off the plane and the last ones on, and a promise to never leave animals sitting on the tarmac. If you decide to travel with your pet, purchase the travel crate well in advance. Give your pet a chance to get used to being in the carrier. When you have decided to move, you need to investigate your new home from your pet's perspective. Research local vets and contact one of them to ask about his practice. Also, consider what type of home you will have. Does it have enough room for your pet to be comfortable? If you have a dog, consider whether your new home is dog friendly. Will you have a yard? Or is there a dog park nearby where your dog can play? Ask your current vet to help you find a new vet.
