You want to transport live animals over a large distance. What do you have to consider when planning the route?

When transporting live animals over long distances in Germany, it is important to follow specific rules to ensure the animals' welfare and safety. This includes regularly checking and maintaining the load to make sure the animals are secure and healthy. Planning stops for fuel and rest is necessary not only for the vehicle but also to give the animals time to rest and have access to food and water. Additionally, there are animal protection regulations that must be followed during transport, such as limits on transport duration, conditions inside the vehicle, and ensuring animals are not stressed or harmed. By considering all these factors—maintenance, stops, and legal animal welfare requirements—you ensure a lawful and humane transport.
