How to prepare a pet for travel

Getting your pet accustomed to his crate is probably the most important thing you can do to ensure as smooth a transition as possible.

You should get the travel kennel at least two weeks in advance and allow your pet to get acclimated to it. A great way to start is to just leave it in the family room or your bedroom and allow your pet to explore.

Next, you can put him in for short periods of time while you are home. Then, for short trips to the store and slowly for longer and longer time periods.

By implementing the above strategy, you will greatly reduce the chances of anxiety and help ensure a successful pet relocation.
