?? 5 Fur-Tastic Tips for Pets on the Move! ??

Moving to a new home can be an exciting adventure for humans, but a time of confusion and stress for our pets. Ensuring their comfort and security minimizes their anxiety and yours, fostering a smoother transition to their new environment.

1. Start Early:

??Introduce pets to pet sitters, friends, or boarding facilities gradually beforehand.

1. Maintain Routine:

??Consistency reduces stress. Stick to regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedules to provide comfort and stability.

1. Create a Safe Haven:

??During the chaos of packing, set up a quiet and secure area where your pet can retreat. Include their bed, toys, and water bowl.

??Don’t expect doors to stay closed while loading boxes and furniture! Designate a room or area to confine pets while loading vehicles.

1. Update Identification:

??Ensure ID tags and microchip information are up-to-date with your new address and contact details in case pets get lost during the move.

1. Pack Familiar Items Last:

??Leave bedding, toys, and food bowls unpacked until the last minute to maintain a sense of familiarity in their environment.

Bonus Tip:

• Use open-sided travel crates covered with a blanket on three sides to provide a safe and comforting space. Keep food and water outside the crate to ensure cleanliness and prevent spillage.
