Maybe you've recently accepted a new job overseas. Or maybe you finally are getting to retire at your summer home. Maybe you've just decided it's time for a change. Whoever you are, you know you want to move and you want to move your pets.

The good news is: You're not alone!

Thousands of people move worldwide with their pets each year. Not everyone can afford a professional pet relocation company, but if you have the time, motivation and resources, you can relocate your pet on your own! That's where the MyPetMove community comes in. You can count on the Members here to give you the resources you need to help research, plan and arrange your pet's move. The MyPetMove Members will also be your safety net and helping hand throughout the process of moving your pet!

And once you're settled into your new home with your pets, don't forget to join our Community to share your experiences with others, just like you!

The first step in your move should be to determine how your pet will get from Point A to Point B. For people moving shorter distances, this might be researching ground transportation options. For moves to more far-away locales, you'll need to find the right airline to get your pet to your new home safely and comfortably.
