It doesn’t matter if you have to relocate your home locally or all the way cross-state. Moving is a stressful and demanding task. But, if it’s challenging for us humans, it doesn’t mean it’s any less stressful for our animal family members. We know you are thinking about different aspects of the relocation – how to pack efficiently, how to manage relocation and your budget, etc., but your pets will be on your mind, too. Some of the following tips might facilitate the efforts of relocation for you and your precious pets. Let’s see into them.
Your Pet Should Relocate With You, If Possible
While this is not the case with all the pets, most of them don’t enjoy being around strangers. If possible, your furry friend should be in the vehicle with you during the relocation process as it would probably be the most comfortable option for all of you. Also, most relocation companies do not transport pets, but regardless, it is considered the best for pets and their stress levels.
Animals Feel Your Stress – Protect Them
On a relocation day, while you’re moving all the furniture and having a busy, hectic day, we recommend getting your pets out of your home. Your lovely friends will feel your stress and the hectic atmosphere and, as a result, will get worked up, too. If you can take your pet to a friend’s or relative’s house, it would be the best for them.
Changing Location? Change Your Vet, Too
Your relocation to-do list will be a long one, but make sure not to forget to add contacting your vet to the list. If you are relocating long distance, you will need to get a new vet in your new area.
Can Pets Get COVID?
Just like you need protection, your animal family members need it, too. Since there have been cases of transferring COVID-19 from a human to a pet, make sure to distance your pet from anyone with the COVID symptoms. During the move, the pet should be isolated and safe, too.
