Help: CAT/DOG + long distance move
Hi, I am moving from MA to OR and am finding conflicting results for how to properly handle moving my cat (4 years old, she was rehomed I’ve had her now for 3 years but I never traveled with her before but she is typically is really quiet during car rides but haven’t done long drives with her) and dog (11 years old shihtzu with heart condition/arthritis/joint deterioration/not crate trained but can handle extended car rides in his car seat).
My partner is moving in first, I am planning to fly up to OR later this month, and was thinking of bringing my cat with me since it’ll be the fastest method of getting her over there and trying to cause as less stressful for her as possible but I am planning on driving with my dog across the country since it’ll be less stressful for him that way and idt he’s healthy enough to get stressed out in an airport (never traveled in a plane with him before)
If anyone has had any experience going across the country this far out I’d love to hear from you!
I also want to note, I have time schedule to see their vet this Wednesday as well and want to have as much info to help me plan and prepare as best as possible while meeting both of their individual needs.
Thank you in advance!
