🐶 Why is moving stressful for animals?
Animals are creatures of habit: familiar smells, favorite sleeping spots, and daily routines provide comfort. A change of home can lead to:
Loss of familiar markers
Stress or even anxiety
Behavioral issues (house soiling, barking, scratching...)
📋 Before the Move: Gently Prepare Your Pet
Here’s how to help your pet stay calm as moving day approaches:
1. Stick to their usual routines
Keep mealtimes, walks, and play sessions as consistent as possible. Routine is reassuring amidst the chaos. 🕒
2. Let them explore the boxes
Let your cat or dog sniff around the boxes and luggage. Familiarity with the unfamiliar can reduce anxiety. 📦🐱
3. Create a safe space for moving day
Set up a quiet room with their bed, bowls, and toys. This will be their sanctuary while things are being moved. 😌
🚗 During the Journey: Safety and Comfort
🐕 For dogs:
Use a dog seat belt or a crate
Take breaks during long drives 🚙
🐈 For cats:
Transport them in a well-ventilated carrier
Cover the carrier with a light cloth to soothe them 🧺
A calming pheromone spray or diffuser can also help your pet feel more secure 😇
🏡 After the Move: Helping Them Settle In
Once you arrive:
Set up familiar items right away
Let them explore the new home room by room 🏠
Offer lots of love and quality time
It’s normal for an adopted cat to hide at first or for an adopted dog to become clingy—just give them time to adjust. ⏳
❤️ Moving with an Adopted Pet: Yes, You Can!
Whether you’re about to adopt a pet or move with your loyal friend, preparation and kindness make all the difference. With patience and love, your animal will soon find comfort in their new surroundings. 🐾✨
And remember: you are their main point of reference. As long as you’re there, everything will be okay. 💛
