Tips for a Safe and Easy Move for Your Pet

 Relocating is not easy, but can be more challenging when a homeowner has to deal with a pet. Pets feel overwhelmed and stressed by moving. Before the move, make sure to schedule for a visit to the vet. This is very important especially if your pet has had a challenging medical history. The vet will be able to determine whether the animal is fit enough to travel. Consider updating vaccinations and fill the necessary prescriptions to help ease the transition. Some of the ways to make the pet's move easy include:

· Get ID tags or microchip

It is advisable to get your pet new identification by ordering new ID tags. ID tags that feature the pet's name, new address and phone number are recommended highly. Alternatively, you may consider fitting your pet with a microchip that holds all the important information. In the event that your pet runs off during the move, the information contained on the ID tags or microchip can help to bring your pet back safely.

· Ensure comfort of your pet

Having your pet's items of comfort nearby can help offer some form of relief, making the move less stressful for the animal. A blanket, special toys or other items can come handy in ensuring comfort during the move. Furthermore, if your pet has furniture, a bed or house, it can help. Make sure your pet has plenty of food to eat and fresh water to consume during the move. It is equally important to have the litter box close during long moves.

· Arrange for pet-friendly hotel

 

Travelling for long hours can be hard on any pet. If you are relocating a long distance away, check out on the hotels along the way to find out whether they allow pets or whether they can arrange for a kennel stay. Several accommodation facilities allow pets, but often charge an extra fee to have them. Hiring a sitter to look after your pet can help keep the animal out of the home while the relocating company is busy packaging and loading your valuables. The choice of a pet sitter should be someone responsible and known by the pet.

· Introduce the pet to his/her new home

Once you get to your destination, introduce your pet to a comfortable spot for its bed, food, water, toys and litter box. Allow the pet to wander around the premises to get familiar with the house. Initially, you may need to limit the pet's exploration indoors. After one or two weeks, if the pet is an outdoors pet as well, you can allow it to explore the outdoors under supervision.
