Best Tips for Moving with Pets

#1 Plan Ahead

Vet Visit

Schedule a visit to the vet before the move to ensure your pets are in good health for the journey. Get any necessary medications or advice for traveling with pets. This will give you peace of mind that your pet will easily make it through the journey and that they will have everything that they need.

Identification

Update your pets' identification tags with your new address and contact information. Consider getting them microchipped for added security. A microchip will store all of your information so if you pet ever runs away or gets lost, that chip can be scanned by a vet and they can then contact you. Making sure that your information is up to date is essential for your move.

Pack a Pet Bag

Pack a bag for your pets with their food, water, bowls, toys, and bedding. Having these items easily accessible will help keep your pets comfortable during the move. You won’t have to worry about searching through boxes just to give your pet their dinner and they will have all that they need within reach.

#2 Create a Safe Space

Pet Carrier or Crate

Use a pet carrier or crate for smaller animals to keep them safe and secure during the move. Make sure the carrier is well-ventilated and large enough for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

Quiet Area

Keep your pets in a quiet and secure area on moving day, away from the hustle and bustle of packing and moving furniture. This will help reduce their stress and prevent them from getting underfoot. This will also allow them to rest after their long day of traveling and moving.

Food and Water

Provide your pets with access to food, water, and a litter box if applicable. Keeping their basic needs met will help keep them calm during the move. They will know that they have all that they need in their area and they can start to get used to their new surroundings.

#3 Gradual Transition

Confine to a Single Room

When you arrive at your new home, confine your pets to a single room with their familiar belongings, such as their bed, toys, and litter box. This will help them feel safe and secure in their new environment. It will also allow them to start to get familiar with their new home without overwhelming them.

Slowly Introduce to New Environment

Allow your pets to explore other areas of the house gradually. Start by introducing them to one new room at a time, allowing them to adjust before moving on to the next area.

Provide Comfort and Reassurance

Spend time with your pets in their new environment, providing comfort and reassurance. Stick to their regular routine as much as possible to help them settle in quickly. This will help you both adjust to your new home and new schedule!
