Tips for Moving with your Furry Family Members!
Moving day is an exciting time for the entire family....but it is also stressful. The same stress felt by the 'humans' in the house, are also felt by your pets. In fact, pets can sense that something big is up, weeks prior to your move! They pick up on your anxiety and the chaos of their living space.
In order to make your move a smooth one for your furry friends, follow these terrific tips:
Before Moving Day
1. Visit your Vet for one last checkup, any vaccinations due and to gather all your pets health records.
2. If possible, visit your new home so your pets can get acclimated to their new environment.
3. Create new Name Tags that show your brand new address.
Moving Day
1. Pack an overnight bag specifically for your pet. Include food, water, favorite toy, and medications, treats, doggie bags for clean-up and sleeping bed.
2. Pack a current photo of your pet in the bag in case they were to get loose of you during the move.
3. Pack your vet records in the bag as well.
4. Keep your pet in your vehicle when making the move. This helps ease their already high anxiety.
5. Once you arrive at your new home, allow your pet some time to 'sniff' around before bringing in furniture and belongings.
