You might need to prepare a pet resume for prospective landlords, if your new home will be rented. Ask your veterinarian for a referral letter.
Keep your pet calm and away from all the activity on moving day by arranging with a friend to watch him at their house. More information on packing checklist here.
Before the movers arrive prepare a room for your pet to stay at during the move. Clear a room of all furniture and other belongings and close your pet in with food, water and a favorite toy or two.
If you want to assure safe transportation of your pet, you should consider hiring an animal transport service. The expense may be justified by the peace of mind that your pet will be with people who make their living transporting animals. They are professional, and they care about animals, and it will take away some of the stress of moving.
