Moving into a new home can be stressful for pets. To make things more comfortable for them, consider their needs while looking for a new residence. When moving day comes, keep your dog or cat in a quiet room or at a friend’s house. Also, gradually acclimate your pet to a crate before the actual move. Make sure your new home is pet-proof, paying attention to screens on windows and small places where they could get stuck. Once you move, give your pet time to settle in. Use one room as “home base” until they become adjusted.
Key Takeaways:
- On moving day, keep pets in a quiet room or at a friend’s house so they don’t become scared.
- Pet-proof your new home, paying attention to electrical cords, small spaces, and poisonous houseplants.
- To help your pet settle in, allow them to adjust to one room at a time.
“Before you pick out your dream home, make sure your pet will love it just as much as you do.”
