Make Your Pet’s Transition Easy on Them

You’ve made the decision that now is the right moment to move, and it’s going to happen soon. However, are your pets ready for the move too? The majority of pet owners are aware that it is preferable to keep their animal companion out of the house while professional movers are on site, but they may not have given relocating with a pet any thought. How will your dog or cat handle being confined to the car, for instance? Here are some excellent moving guidelines to keep in mind for the safety of your pet, whether you are moving to a nearby suburb or across the country.

Purchase a Portable Crate

Keeping your pet comfortable during the travel between homes is important. You want to start off their life at their new home on the right foot, and that includes how they get there. It’s a good idea to buy a comfortable crate or travel bag that your pet feels comfortable in to bring them to their new home.

Train Your Pet to Travel in a Vehicle

If your pet doesn’t ride in the car very often, you may want to get them used to it if you have a long drive to your new home. Start by taking your pet on short rides in the car until they adjust to being in a vehicle.

Have Identification

Make sure your pet has all of its vaccines and identification so that if the worst happens, you are able to find your pet easily and identify them as your own.

Bring a Travel Kit

Before you move, pack a travel bag for your pet so that you have everything they need easily accessible. You will want to have this with you while traveling and once you get to your new home before you unpack all of their things.
