At GoMovin, we understand how important your furry family members are and want to support you with our expertise. A successful pet transport begins with a well-thought-out strategy.
Many pet owners underestimate the challenges that a move can bring for their pets. The unfamiliar environment, the noise, and the changes can lead to stress and anxiety for dogs, cats, and other animals. It is therefore crucial to address your pet’s needs early and take appropriate measures. We offer you comprehensive moving assistance, which also includes safe and comfortable pet transport.
Professional help can be beneficial in many cases, especially when it involves an international move or the transport of exotic animals. Specialized companies like PetAir and Frey & Klein have years of experience in pet transport and can assist you with all aspects of the move—from planning to execution. We work with selected partners to offer you the best possible service.
Plan ahead: How to master your preparation!
The legal framework for animal transport is complex and varies by country and species. It is important to inform yourself about the applicable regulations early to avoid unpleasant surprises. Different laws and regulations apply to national and international animal transport that you should definitely comply with.
The necessary documents usually include a pet passport, health certificates, and possibly import requirements for the destination country. Especially for international moves, it is advisable to seek advice from a veterinarian or a specialized animal transport company. We support you in compiling all the required documents and help you stay organized. Remember that the emigration checklist should also consider your pet's health.
Vaccinations and veterinary examinations
Before moving, vaccinations and veterinary examinations are essential. Ensure that your pet has all the necessary vaccinations and is healthy before you begin preparations. A health certificate from the vet is often a prerequisite for animal transport, especially for international travel. The experts at PetAir emphasize the importance of early planning to initiate all necessary steps on time.
Humane Transport: The Best Solutions for Your Pet
Each animal species has specific needs and requirements that must be considered during animal transport. Whether it's a dog, cat, fish, or reptile – choosing the right transport solution is crucial for your pet's wellbeing. We provide you with an overview of the best options for different animal species.
Dog Transport
Special transport boxes are suitable for dog transport, offering ample space and comfort. Ensure the box is well ventilated and has a sturdy construction. During transport, you should take regular breaks to allow your dog to relieve itself and have a drink. Safety measures such as fastening a seatbelt or using a partition grid are also important. Rover.com offers helpful tips on how to prepare your dog for the move.
Cat Transport
Cats often react sensitively to changes and stress. To make cat transport as stress-free as possible, you can use calming agents or special pheromone sprays. The transport box should be equipped with a familiar blanket or toy to give the cat a sense of security. Avoid loud noises and abrupt movements during the journey.
Transport of Small Animals
The transport of small animals such as fish, birds, or reptiles requires special equipment and precautions. For example, fish need a waterproof container with sufficient oxygen, while birds should be housed in a suitable transport box with a perch. Reptiles may need climate-controlled transport options to regulate their body temperature. We are happy to advise you on the specific requirements of your pet.
Arrive safely: How to choose the right mode of transport!
The choice of the right means of transport is a crucial factor for a successful animal transport. Depending on the distance, type of animal, and budget, various options are available to you. We help you make the best choice.
Animal transport in your own car
Transporting animals in your own car is often the simplest and most cost-effective solution, especially for shorter distances. However, ensure adequate safety precautions and comfort for your pet. The transport box should be securely fastened in the vehicle, and the animal should not be allowed to move freely during the journey. Regular breaks are important to give the animal the opportunity to move and relieve itself.
Professional animal transport companies
Professional animal transport companies like PetAir and Frey & Klein offer comprehensive services for animal transport. The benefits include extensive experience, specialized equipment, and professional care for the animals. When selecting a suitable provider, you should look for certifications, references, and transparent pricing. We work with selected partners who meet the highest quality standards. Our specialised transports also include secure animal transport.
Air transport
Air transport is often the only option for international relocations or very long distances. Pay attention to the IATA guidelines for animal transport and ensure that your pet is accommodated in a suitable flight box. The flight box must meet the airline’s requirements and offer sufficient space, ventilation, and stability. Inform yourself in good time about the airline’s regulations and book the animal transport in advance.
Minimising stress: How to make moving day relaxed!
Moving day itself is often the most stressful part of the entire process. However, with the right preparation, you can minimise stress for your pet and ensure a smooth process. We offer valuable tips for moving day.
Preparing your pet for moving day
Prepare your pet early for moving day by familiarising it with the carrier box. Place the box in your home and put a familiar blanket or toy inside. Allow your pet to explore the box and reward it when it stays inside. Create a retreat area for your pet where it can feel safe and secure.
Behaviour during the move
During the move, you should ensure your pet is kept safe, preferably in a separate room or with friends or relatives. Avoid exposing your pet to the noise and hustle and bustle during the main activities. Take regular breaks to care for your pet and give it the opportunity to relieve itself.
Arriving at the new home
After arriving at the new home, you should give your pet time to adjust to the new surroundings. Set up a familiar area where your pet can feel safe and secure. Provide food, water, and a toilet. Avoid overwhelming your pet and allow it time to explore the new environment at its own pace. The relocation tips can also help with settling into the new home.
Move without borders: Successfully mastering international transports!
International moves with pets present unique challenges. In addition to the usual preparations, you must also address the customs regulations, quarantine requirements, and country-specific regulations. We will show you what you need to keep in mind.
Special Considerations for International Transport
Inform yourself early about the entry requirements for pets in the destination country. Some countries require quarantine, while others mandate specific vaccinations or health certificates. The customs regulations can also be complex and require careful preparation. It is advisable to consult a specialist in international pet transport to ensure all requirements are met.
The Role of Specialists
Specialists in international pet transport like PetAir and Frey & Klein provide comprehensive support with documentation, logistics, and coordination with veterinary authorities. They are familiar with the specific requirements of different countries and can help you facilitate a smooth pet transport. We work with selected partners who have a global network and extensive experience. The preparation for emigration should certainly take international pet transport into account.
Keeping an Eye on Costs: How to Plan Your Budget Optimally!
The animal transport is associated with costs that can vary depending on the type of animal, distance, and mode of transport. It's important to create a realistic budget and consider the various cost factors. We provide you with an overview of the most significant costs.
Factors influencing the costs
The costs of animal transport depend on various factors such as the type of animal, the distance, the mode of transport, and the necessary documents and vaccinations. The choice of animal transport company can also affect the costs. Obtain quotes from various providers and compare their prices and services.
Quotations and comparing offers
Compare the quotes carefully and watch out for hidden costs. Ask which services are included in the price and what additional costs may arise. Also consider the costs for the vet, vaccinations, permits, and potential quarantine fees. Transparent pricing is a sign of a reputable animal transport company.
Additional costs
In addition to basic transport costs, additional expenses for the vet, vaccinations, permits, and potential quarantine fees may incur. Include these costs in your budget to avoid unpleasant surprises. Find out about the prices of PetAir and other providers early on to get an overview of the expected costs.
Gentle acclimatisation: Helping your pet feel at home quickly!
After moving, it's important to give your pet time to adjust to the new home. Watch for signs of stress and anxiety and take appropriate steps to support their adjustment. We offer tips on how you can help your pet feel comfortable quickly.
Recognising signs of stress and anxiety
Look out for signs of stress and anxiety in your pet, such as loss of appetite, restlessness, withdrawal, or aggression. If you notice these signs, give your pet extra attention and affection. Avoid overwhelming them and allow them to acclimate to the new environment at their own pace.
Measures to support adjustment
Create a familiar environment by placing familiar items such as blankets, toys, and food and water bowls in the new home. Maintain established routines, such as feeding times and walks. Provide positive reinforcement by praising and rewarding your pet when they are calm and relaxed.
When to seek professional help?
In some cases, it may be advisable to seek professional help, for example, if your pet is experiencing severe stress or anxiety or cannot adapt to the new environment. A vet or behaviour therapist can help you identify the causes of the problem and take appropriate measures. We're happy to advise you on options for professional support. The checklist for relocating should also consider your pet's mental health.
