For the people who own pets they're like a part of their family. So while travelling with pets they want the journey for their pets to be as pleasurable and stress free as to them. But pets can't easily adapt changes in their surroundings and intensive care needs to be taken while moving pets. Apart from preparing and training the pet and completing all the documentation work for the move there are a number of things that need to be taken care of for a stress free move.

Finding the appropriate transporters:
" The transporters must be trained professionals having experience in transporting pets.
" The transporters must be authorized transporters having license of animal transportation and they must follow all the animal transportation laws.
" The transporters should be responsible and caring for the pets to ensure a safe and pleasing travel experience for the pets.

Specifications of the means of transport:
" The means of transport must be adequately spacious and safe for the pet with sufficient floor area and height. We should make sure that ...
... the pet can stand in a natural position inside the means of transport and that there is no risk of getting hurt for the animal by the ceiling or walls of the carrier.

" Proper ventilation should be provided with the means of transport and if it's not done in an unfailing way then adjustable ventilators should be provided inside the carrier for a comfortable pet transport.

" It should be possible to inspect the animal during the journey and if it falls ill then it should be possible to treat the animal in the means of transport.

Loading and unloading pets:
" Intensive care needs to be taken while loading and unloading of animals. Proper slope of the ramps should be maintained and anti slip means should be provided for the animals not to get hurt during moving in or out of the means of transport.

" Loading of pets should be as close to the take off time as possible and they should be unloaded as soon as the flight has landed.

" Loading in hot or stressful conditions should be avoided and must be done smoothly by providing the pets with proper time and comfort.

Also there are several other things that need to be kept in mind while transporting animals. There are pets like dogs that can easily adapt changes in their surroundings which makes transporting dogs easy and less hectic. But on the other hand there are pets like fishes which are much harder to be transported. Pets should be fed properly during the journey depending upon the species being moved. Health of pets should also be watched during the transport and the pets should be inspected time to time by the pet attendant to ensure a great travel experience for the pet.
