Moving can be quite hectic on its own. It can be even worse when pets come into the picture. While packing and preparing everything you need, it is easy to forget about your furry/feathered/scaly friends. They have their needs, too, and not having what they need when moving can be nerve-wracking for you and your best. Here is what to keep in mind when moving with pets.
Keep Your Pets Away From the Moving Area
As you start packing up, everything becomes a bit disorganized. The last thing you want is your pet messing around with the things you’ve packed. This mostly applies to dogs and cats anyway. Try to keep them occupied in another place away from all the mess.
Do Not Let Your Pet Out Until the Area is Secure
Packing up leaves a lot of room for your best to get injured. As you dismantle pieces of furniture, it is easy for your pet to get anxious and get injured. This applies even when you’ve gotten to your new location. Try to keep your best restrained, either in a crate, carrier, or specialized cage, to keep them safe and calm till it is safe for them to go out. Also, never put your pet in a moving truck, as they could slide around and get injured
Do not forget to feed the pets
With all the anxiety, it is easy to forget to feed your pets. After all, they might not even complain. Try to feed them but not too early before the moving trip. This will prevent any ‘messy’ situation in the vehicle, which means less stress for you to worry about. If you can feed them way early before you move, ensure they relieve themselves before the journey begins. This is important.
Pet Them Gently
Moving can be hectic. Just as humans get anxious, it is easy to forget that our animal companions get anxious too. Get them a place to relax while packing, as watching their home turn upside down can be stressful for them. You can keep them with a friend or family for a day or two to keep them busy and entertained while you focus on packing
Keep Sharp and Dangerous Objects Away from them
Sometimes pets like to grab what they see. Keep dangerous objects away from your pets. During the moving process, many dangerous objects would be lying around, which could harm your pet. These could be chemicals, hazardous objects, cords, and electrical appliances.
