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.

· 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.
