You have purchased a brand new home for you and your family – congratulations! Now, it may be an easy transition for you and your family, but it may not be as comfortable for your pet. New environments tend to scare them. Be sure to review the following tips for making moving as stress-free as possible for your entire family, including your pet.
• Prior to your move-in date, make sure that your pet’s ID tag is updated with your current name and contact information. Microchipping is becoming more and more popular. It serves as a backup if your pet loses its collar.
• If you are traveling long distances, stop frequently in order to give your pet “potty” breaks and fresh water. Always keep your pet on a leash when you stop at rest areas.
• Small animals should always be transported in secure, well-ventilated pet carriers. Larger animals should be leashed and controlled at all times. In no way should you ever transport any pet in an open truck bed, trunk of a car or storage area of a moving vehicle.
• If you plan on stopping to rest overnight, be sure to locate pet-friendly hotels along your route and book rooms ahead of time. A great resource to take advantage of is located at www.pet-friendly-hotels.net.
• If your pet is likely to become car sick, consult with your veterinarian beforehand to get any prescribed medications and feeding recommendations.
