Like any family member,
pets feel the stress of moving.
When moving, it’s important to
organize ahead of time so that your pets will be comfortable. Here are some
tips that’ll ensure a smooth move:
- Plan Ahead -
Create a detailed checklist ahead of time so that you can avoid any last minute
stress that your pets will pick up on.
- Pet Doc - Ask
your vet for a referral if you’re moving out of town and make sure all of the
shots are up to date.
- Dog Tags -
Remember to update all your pet’s tags and microchips with your new contact
information.
- Keep them
Calm - Have someone look after your pets on moving day but if that’s not
possible, keep them calm by housing them in a quiet room.
- Doggie Bag -
Prepare a well labeled and easily accessible overnight moving kit with
everything you need to keep your pets happy.
- Butter ‘em Up
- Keep outdoor cats inside for at least a week so they can get familiar with
their new home. Putting butter on their paws will help imprint the new house as
home.
Moving can make pets extra
anxious so try to keep to their usual routine as much as possible before, during
and after the move as this will make the transition much smoother. Once you’re
all moved in, give them lots of extra TLC! |
