Pet Friendly Travel: Top 5 Moving Day Tips for Pets

Although pre-moving steps are essential to help ensure a stress free move for you and your pet, you're not out of the woods yet!

Here are the top 5 moving day tips for pets:

1. Keep Your Pet Safe and Secure: This is equally important when moving out of your old home AND moving into your new home. With all the noise, open doors, and potential chaos involved in a physical move, it's important to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and secure. Put your pet in a quiet and safe place. The place you select should be a place that they are familiar and comfortable with. Advantage ii for cats here.

2. Check on them Regularly: If your pet is at home on moving day, be sure to check in on them regularly throughout the day. Maintain their regular routine for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks and loving.

3. Familiar Surroundings at New Home: One of the best ways to help your pet become comfortable more quickly in their new home is to have their "stuff" in it before you introduce your dog, cat, or other furry family member into your (their) new place. Whether it be their favorite chair, dog bed, throw rug, toys, or all of the above - surround your pet with familiar things. Be prepared with all the necessary items your pet will need from day one in your new home.

4. Keep Your Pets On-Leash
