How to Move Without Losing Your Pet (or Mind)

Moving with pets is like trying to pack a suitcase that keeps running away. If you want to avoid a missing cat poster or a traumatized goldfish, here’s what actually matters: Tag ‘em and chip ‘em. Your pet’s new bling should have your updated address. Microchip info? Change it now, not after Fluffy’s first escape attempt. Paperwork: Don’t lose it. Vet records, vaccine proof, and a recent mugshot (of your pet, not you) go in a folder you can actually find. Vet check: Is your pet road-trip ready? Ask your vet, especially if you’re crossing borders or your dog thinks car rides are a personal attack. Secure the beast. Crate, closed room, or bribed friend—just don’t let them bolt during the chaos. Road trip? Practice with short drives. Plane? Research rules and book pet-friendly stops. No one wants to sleep in the car with a howling cat. Moving is hard. Don’t let your pet make it legendary. #PetTravel #MovingTips #PetSafety #LifeWithPets #TravelWithPets #PetTravel #MovingTips #PetSafety #Pets
