The 2026 DIY Pet Relocation Roadmap by ReviewTrip

Stop Googling. Start Planning.

You've got 60 days to move cross-country with your dogs. Hotel websites are lying to you. Your vet paperwork is confusing. And every forum tells you something different.

We've done this four times. 7,600+ miles. Three different dog rosters. We know what actually works.

This isn't theory from someone who moved once in 2015. This is battle-tested advice from:

• Washington to Florida (2016) - blizzards, three dogs, one week
• Florida to Colorado (2021) - hurricane evacuations, two dogs
• Colorado to Spain (2023) - international paperwork nightmare, three dogs, two countries

What You Get:

✅ The Complete 74-Page Roadmap - Everything from the 60-day timeline to the exact script for calling hotels

✅ Real Stories, Real Solutions - The broken collar in France. The Wyoming rabbit incident. The hotel that "lost" our reservation. We share what went wrong and how we fixed it.

✅ Printable Checklists & Planners:

• Emergency Contact List
• Master Supply Checklist (every item you need, organized by location)
• Vehicle Readiness Checklist
• 10-Day Travel Log with daily planning pages

✅ Money-Saving Tips - The cargo net trick. What gear is a waste. How to get hotels to bend the rules.

✅ The Stuff Nobody Tells You:

• Why anti-gas supplements are non-negotiable
• The 2-hour feeding rule that prevents carsickness
• How to clean up accidents without ruining your trip
• What to do when your dog refuses to get out of the car
• The "frozen water bowl" trick

Who This Is For:

• Corporate movers with tight timelines (60 days or less)
• DIY relocators who want control over their dogs' safety
• Multi-dog households (we've moved with up to 3 dogs at once)
• Anyone tired of vague advice that doesn't actually help

What This Saves You:

One wrong hotel booking = $100-200 in fees

One ruined day backtracking through West Texas = 6+ hours

One emergency vet visit from stress = $300-500

This guide costs less than a single hotel pet deposit and could save you thousands.

Bonus: Complete Amazon Shopping List Every item mentioned in the guide, organized and ready to purchase. No guessing what "spring-loaded coupler" means—we link directly to what we actually used.

From the Author:

"In 2013, we hired a transporter for our first move. I spent 10 days glued to my phone, terrified something would go wrong. When our dogs arrived safe (but delayed by a blizzard), I knew: nobody will ever care about my dogs the way I do.

Since then, we've been behind the wheel for every mile. This guide is everything I wish I'd known before our first drive—organized, practical, and written by someone who's actually done it. Multiple times."
