Moving to a new home is not only challenging for humans. It is equally challenging for pets too. New surroundings, smells, the running about up and down can give them anxiety if they are not prepared well.
Here are 5 things you must know when moving to make your pets comfortable for the journey:
1. Check pet rules in your new home
Every pet owner would never neglect this step obviously but it is better to double-check them. The rules for pets may vary from place to place. make sure that the rules do not have a possibility of making your pets uncomfortable and your pet does not disrupt the rules set in your new home.
2. Visit the Vet
Before moving, make a visit to the vet to check for any due vaccines for your pet. Also, remember to take a few meds that can ease your pet from anxiety due to the moving process.
3. Journey necessities
When traveling to your new home, short distances may not be a big fuss, the long distances can be challenging for your pets. Keep their meds, toys, water, food, treats, bowls, and leash handy. In case of a night halt, book rooms that are pet-friendly and safe. Don’t forget to make frequent bathroom breaks for them on the way.
4. Keep pets safe during the unpacking process
Your pets may be excited to see their new home. But heavy and sharp objects being carried around may put your pets in danger. You can either leave them at a friend’s or family’s house until you finish unpacking or at a pet daycare. Or you can keep them in an empty room until the house is ready for your pet. Remember to give them adequate food and water.
5. Get your pets settled in
Once you have finished unpacking your new home will be safe for your pets to explore. You can let them walk around the community and meet other furry friends and get acquainted with the surroundings. You can even schedule a vet’s appointment to make sure they are not allergic to anything in your new locality or home.
