New Article! Moving with Dogs and Cats

Moving can be a very stressful experience for pets. Dogs and cats are territorial creatures of habit. So, moving to a new home means taking your pet out of its comfort zone, creating new habits, and marking new boundaries. Some people don’t realize that pets can get homesick. Like children, they need to be comforted during the moving process.

Preparing for Change
The best way to make the transition easy is to surround them with their favorite items and food. This includes:
· Chew toys
· Food bowls
· Treats
· Blankets/bedding
Having these items when you reach your new home will assure your pets that they aren’t being abandoned and recreate their comfort zone. If you will be travelling separate from your pet (i.e. on an airplane or bus), leave an article of clothing or blanket that smells like you in their carrier. This will help calm them.
