Vaccination Policy
All pets no matter what age are required to be up to date with their vaccinations and before we transport your pets- you are required to provide a copy of the vaccination details.
The minimum requirement is a C3 vaccination which covers Hepatitis, Parvovirus & Distemper. Pups and dogs, cats & kittens at any age can contract disease, and keeping their vaccinations current keeps our precious cargo safe. Disease can be easily spread – and easily prevented.
Whether you have a working dog, a greyhound, an 8-week-old pup, or a 20-year-old cat, vaccination is a must with Move My Pets Australia. We take disease control very seriously as it can cause many issues.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Helpful Pet Transport Tips & Information
- Ensure your pet is not fed 4-6 hours before travel as a full tummy can cause vomiting
- For dogs, ensure they have a collar & lead fitted for their bathroom and walk breaks. Dogs are walked individually every 3-4 hours.
- If you are supplying any medication for your pet’s trip, please ensure directions are written & is labelled with your pet’s name
- If your cat is being transported, try to keep them inside as they will sense something is going on and may not return at their usual time
- Ensure your pet is in good health
- Most adult pets will sense your emotions – try and keep positive
Once your new pet arrives here are some helpful tips to assist your pet to settle in with ease.
- When you arrive home, let your pet sniff around – let them sniff the yard or outdoor area at your home on a lead. If your dog goes to the toilet outdoors, give them a treat – it’s never too early to start toilet training
- Make a space for your pet to go to if they are feeling overwhelmed. Have a bed/blanket for your pet and water for them in their own space
- If your puppy/kitten is not fully vaccinated they are best to stay within your yard until 2 weeks after they have been fully vaccinated
- Once your pet is fully vaccinated smaller trips/walks are best to gradually introduce them to new surroundings
- If you have had a rescue pet transported, they can be extremely nervous and scared as they have potentially been through trauma, have had several owners/many other factors that can cause them to be anxious.
- It is important to give them time & space and allow them to adapt to their new surroundings. Be patient with them
- Routine & rules- pets love routine
If you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health or behaviour, contact your local vet or breeder from who the pup was purchased
Unfortunately, many people fall victim to puppy scams today more than ever. Social media and online advertising have created an opportunity for people to set up fake accounts with pictures of pets that may be taken off the internet or another advertisemenst up for sale. If you are unsure there are several things you should ask/do-
- Check your breeder/seller’s details/registration number
- Ask for referrals from previous buyers
- Try and meet in person if possible
- Speak frequently on the phone with your breeder/seller and request photos or Facetime showing your pets growth in different surroundings
- Research average prices for your pet and have an agreed price/contract in place
- If they are using our name- check with us we have your booking or we may have previously transported for them prior and are familiar with them
- Visit the puppy scam awareness website
