How to Help Your Dog Adjust to Your New Home, Pt. 1
Moving into a new home is a stressful endeavor, and for pet parents, it can seem even more challenging. When you’ve lived in a home for a long time, it’s easy to become emotionally attached to a place. This can make it hard to settle into a new home that has unfamiliar smells, different features, and which may be much smaller or larger than the last home. It takes time to settle into a new living space. While it may seem as though this aspect of moving only affects humans, dogs, too, must learn to adjust to their surroundings.
As your Top Rated Local® dog shipping and pet transportation company, our team at Animals Away knows first-hand the stresses that moving can place on a dog. Today, let’s look at few tips for you to consider that may help you help your precious pup adjust to their new home.

Common Myths About Pet Travel: Part 1
When it comes to air travel with pets, it’s a subject that draws a lot of natural apprehension from pet owners. Traveling via air with pets can be a complicated and stressful affair. As someone who’s naturally protective of your furry companion’s well-being, it’s understandable why you would have reservations about sending your pet on a plane.
Unfortunately, many of the common doubts about pet air travel are based on misconceptions that have no place in reality. As pet shipping experts at Animals Away, we’re here to clarify some of these falsehoods. This is a two-part series; in part one, we’ll look at myths that pertain to the actual planes and airlines.
Why Shipping Your Cat is a Better Option Than Taking Them into the Plane Cabin
When it comes to dog travel, all of the bases are covered pretty well by a variety of experienced travelers and experts alike. Cat travel, however, especially when it involves an airplane, is a subject that hasn’t been discussed quite as much. Cats just don’t travel nearly as often, particularly due to their nature of being travel-phobic, even when it’s something as simple as a short car ride.
As a result, there are many misconceptions about traveling with cats. Perhaps one of the biggest ones is the idea that it’s better to take your cat with you into the cabin, instead of having them travel in the cargo area. As experienced experts in cat shipping, we disagree with this assessment, for a few reasons, which are outlined below.
