Dogs and cats are our four-legged, cuddly friends we would give our lives for, that cheer up our lives and make us happy every day. The last thing you would like to do is leave your loyal dog behind when getting ready to move out of state. Unfortunately, at times, because of circumstances that are completely out of your control, you will be forced to find a new owner for your pets. In the event you are planning a move that includes your pets, here are a few guidelines that should help you streamline the process and make things as easy for them as possible.
Pets Perceive Their Surroundings Differently
Dogs, cats or parrots tend to respond in a more anxious way when moving house. They perceive the universe around them completely different than humans and it is a lot more difficult for them to adjust to the changes. Make sure you take your time to study the matter and take all the precaution measures you can so the move can go as smooth as possible.
Invest In Quality And Spacious Cages And Crate Kennels
- Take your time and look for the most reliable and spacious dog crate kennels and cages for your pets. If your lovely reptile used to move freely inside the house and sleep in a waterless fish tank, you will now need to figure out a comfortable and safe transportation option for them.
- Cargo services can also be used for transportation purposes, especially when driving to your new address would incur a long hour lasting for several hours. A pet will have a hard time patiently waiting for the time to pass by and they might suffer from panic attacks and other health issues.
- Make sure you will supply them with enough food and favorite snacks, as well as water and any medications they might be on.
- For smaller pets and shorter travel hours, it is a good idea to try to use your own car and drive them there yourself. Pack their favorite toys and make sure you stop frequently and have them move around for a while.
- Using a mover’s van will not be possible, so you will need to figure out a better alternative and safer for your pets
Let Your Pest Adjust To Your New Home
Make sure your pets gradually adjust to the new home and the scary environment they are in. Place your parrot in a smaller cage at first and do not let it fly around freely if this is something you do, at least during the first couple of weeks.
