Within the United States:
When traveling or moving pets within the United States, always check to see what the state laws are for bringing new pets into the state.
For Hawaii, please see below. Begin your research early so you make sure you have enough time to visit the veterinarian to get a domestic health certificate and any necessary vaccines or tests.
  1. Research and read about requirements between states for transporting your pet either by airplane or car. Each airlines has specific requirements so check online with your airline and plan on needing at least a health certificate and proof of vaccinations from your veterinarian.
  2. Never let your pet loose in a strange location. Make sure a dog's leash is properly attached before every walk and that cats stay indoors.
  3. Try to use the same food and water dishes, beds and toys at your new location so your pets are familiar with something from the old home. This will help them transition to the new home more quickly.
