Moving with a pet can be a serious challenge, especially if your move is to another state or across the country. Most pets take comfort in familiar places so they can get stressed during a big move since there’s a lot going on in new surroundings. Help your pets stay relaxed during your move with these simple steps.
Keep your pet calm
Most pets are very sensitive to even minor changes in their surroundings. You should try to keep your pet’s routine the same, especially keeping similar feeding times unless there’s a good reason to change it. You should also try to keep them away from strangers or movers as much as possible.
Make a vet appointment
A standard checkup is a good idea as moving day approaches. If you know your pet gets easily stressed, your veterinarian can prescribe anti-anxiety medication to make the transition easier. Also make sure you have all of your pets documents ready when you find a new vet in your new area.
Consider transportation options
If you’re moving across the country with your pets, it’s important to know all of your options and find the one that will be most agreeable with your pet. You can use your own car to transport them or move your pet by air if that seems like too much of a hassle. There is also an option to hire professional pet movers if you need extra assistance.
