3. Weather Restrictions Exist
Another factor which I did not consider before moving my pets was weather. This is where planning ahead becomes very important again. In regions with very cold winters (e.g. Canada) or very hot summers (e.g. the Middle East), airlines will often shut down pet transport for a couple of months.
This is for the animals’ own safety so I’m thankful for this precaution, however if you had planned a winter move through Toronto, you may have to find another route or put it on hold.
