 | Consult your veterinarian a few weeks before you move to check if your
pet may benefit from medication for stress, nervousness and/or car -
sickness. |
| Plan to keep your pets away from the moving
activities. This will reduce stress and the likelihood of them slipping
outside. |
| Keep them with their familiar beds, toys,
objects etc. |
| Be sure they all have tags with your NEW
address, phone number and emergency contact. |
| Cover the cages of small animals with a
lightweight material. It is imperative that the temperature remains
constant for them to survive. |
| In your new home, try to unpack a familiar
room and place beds, food and water in similar locations. Keep pets
inside, at least at first, and always walk dogs on leash. Try to keep the
old routine and please allow your pets time to settle into their new
environment. They may not be themselves for several months, but with
patience, love and stability they will adjust to their new home. |
