Moving to a new home is an exciting yet stressful experience, and if you have pets, the challenge becomes even greater. At FECH, we understand that your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are part of your family. That’s why we’ve put together expert tips to ensure your move is pet-friendly and as stress-free as possible.
1. Plan Ahead for a Smooth Transition
Pets thrive on routine, and any major change can cause them anxiety. Here’s how to prepare:
Visit the Vet: Ensure your pet is healthy for travel. Update vaccinations and request any necessary medications.
Update ID Tags & Microchips: In caswe of an unexpected escape, make sure your pet’s identification is up to date with your new address and phone number.
Secure a Pet Carrier: If your pet isn’t used to a carrier, introduce them to it gradually before moving day.
2. Pack with Your Pet in Mind
Keep your pet’s essentials easily accessible, including food, water, treats, a leash, bedding, and favorite toys.
Avoid washing their blankets or bedding right before the move—familiar scents will help them feel secure.
If possible, maintain their usual feeding and exercise schedule.
3. Moving Day: Keeping Pets Safe & Comfortable
Designate a Safe Space: Place your pet in a quiet room with a closed door while movers work. This prevents stress and accidental escapes.
Use Calming Aids: Consider pheromone sprays, calming treats, or even a vet-approved sedative if your pet is particularly anxious.
Choose the Right Transport Method: Small pets should be transported in carriers, while larger pets may need a secure seat in your vehicle.
4. Pet-Proof Your New Home
Before letting your pet roam freely, take precautions:
Check for any hazards like exposed wires, toxic plants, or open windows.
Create a designated “safe space” with their familiar bed, toys, and food bowls.
Introduce them gradually to different areas of the house to prevent overwhelming them.
5. Help Your Pet Adjust
Stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible.
Give them extra attention and comfort during the first few days.
Watch for signs of stress, such as loss of appetite or excessive hiding, and consult your vet if needed.
