How do you help pets move and travel easily? I wondered as we started a cross country move.

For 2 months I felt like a vagabond while packing up our Minneapolis house and moving to Arizona. After packing up my office, I worked where I found a flat surface and an electrical outlet! Stuff was put into my backpack with a special envelope for important documents– passports, car titles, checkbooks. The rest was packed.

I realized all the changes I was experiencing. Then I wondered how to help pets move and travel easily. My opportunity happened faster than I thought.

As we moved, Darian contacted me about her move from Georgia to Idaho with her cat, Julie. At times our stories sounded similar and she was very worried about Julie, the cat. I realized I would help her cat and any pet move and travel easily.

Months ago, I told John I didn’t want to drive 3 days to Arizona again. And I didn’t want to follow him in another car. We shipped all the vehicles and flew to Prescott.

At the same time, Darien was struggling with the options to transport Julie, the cat, from Georgia to Idaho. Julie “hates” car rides. Darien wasn’t sure 3 days in the car and hotels would work.

Darien decided to drive Julie to the airport (half hour trip) and fly with Julie and her daughter to Boise. Julie would stay with her daughter in Boise while Darien flew back to Georgia, packed the house, move, and drive to Boise. The plans were in motion.

Now to tell Julie, the cat! I explained to Julie, in an animal communication, all the details of moving and travel plans:

• Car ride to airport.
• In Security, Darien would lift her out of her bag while TSA personnel search her bag. She’d wear her harness and leash as Darien held her. Then back into her bag.
• Board the plane and be under the seat during the trip.
• Change planes with a short break including use of litter box.
• Board the second plane.
• Get into another car and drive to new home. Toys, food, litter box, and treats will be there.
• Then Darien would leave a few days later, and pack all their belongings in Georgia. I reassured Julie that Darien would be back in less than 2 weeks.

Everything went perfectly. After Darien returned to Idaho she wrote:

“She’s done great The first night or two she was so excited we were back. She was climbing all over us the first night especially… purring, licking my face cleaning me I guess, so happy she couldn’t sleep. After and now she just seems happy.

Today/tonight we get the moving van to unpack. Once all that is settled I think she’ll feel even better with our things here and not a mostly empty apartment.”

Julie experienced lots of first with her trip to their new home. She was great the entire time. She’s great example of helping pets move and travel easily. The animal communication with Julie made all the difference in the world!

We also unpacked all our boxes and settled. Unlike Julie, I’m meeting lots of new people, finding stores including Costco, and making calls about insurance and driver licenses! We’re also smiling, enjoying our new home, and fantastic views!

Julie knew what to expect and traveled calmly. Several years ago, I helped 3 cats travel in a car from Minneapolis to Austin, Texas. Here’s their story.

Is your pet facing new changes as schedules change, moves, school starting, and the unexpected becomes reality? An animal communication helps calm everyone’s nerves. Your pet is very opinionated and has a lot to say. Now is the perfect time to learn her thoughts!
