Moving with pets and cars
The family's non-human members have their own move: pet passports and transport options, and the decision between driving, towing or shipping the car.
Pets within Europe
The EU pet passport with rabies vaccination covers most borders; some countries add tapeworm treatment windows. For anxious animals, sedation should come from a vet, not from a forum's dosage chart.
Pets beyond Europe
Long-haul pet relocation is a specialized agency's job: import permits, airline-approved crates and quarantine rules by destination. Start months ahead for islands with strict regimes.
The car
For national moves, driving it yourself or a driven-transfer service beats shipping; for international ones, covered transport or a professional driver depends on value and distance. Update registration and insurance address on arrival — fines follow cars, not intentions.
