How To Move With Pets
Experts agree that pets thrive on routine. But how can that routine be maintained during a move? There are some simple steps that you can take to make the transition from old home to new home easy on you and your pet.
The first step is to visit your current veterinarian. If you are moving out of the area, be sure to request your pet’s medical files, this way your new vet will know of any conditions your pet has been treated for and when they’ll be due for their next vaccinations. Be sure that if your pet is on any medications, that you’ll have enough of the needed prescriptions to last until you visit your new vet. Along these same lines, update your pets ID tags with your new address or phone number if necessary.
Plan ahead. Moving day is not the time to figure out how you’re going to get Fido to the new digs. It will just make everything more stressful, and stressed animals are not a good thing. If you get an accident here or there because of their over excitement, cut them some slack. Let your pet get used to its new home on its own time. The neighbors will all get a chance to meet the pets eventually, and allowing your pets to get used to their new space will help prevent lost, confused, or crazed pets in your new home.
When you are beginning the actual process of moving boxes and transferring your belongings to your new residence, consider first prepping, a pet friendly area in your current home, and then in your new home. You can designate one room that will be out of the way of movers. Fill the room with the pet’s favorite toys and bedding, as well as their food, water, and if applicable, litter box. Your home is your pet’s sanctuary, and for the time being, this room will be their connection to this.
If you are new to your area, feel free to ask your real estate agent for recommendations for a new vet, as well as where the local hot spots might be, such as local establishments, that are pet friendly. Moving can be traumatic for humans, but it is even far worse for household pets since most of their lives are limited to the inside of our homes. Moving is particularly worse for household pets that never venture outside, such as indoors cats. Add to that the removal of one of your pet’s favorite pieces of furniture, and you have, effectively, changed his entire world.
Once you’re living in your new home with your pet, the best thing you can do is maintain your routine. If you usually walk your pet in the mornings, make the time to continue this tradition. If you come home at lunches to let your dog out, be sure that either you or a reliable pet walker are there for your dog. This is also not a time to change your animal’s eating habits. Keep with the same brand and type of food as before the move.
