Tips for Moving with Pets

Moving can be a stressful experience for everyone in the family, including your pets. 

At Hevligt Movers, we understand the importance of ensuring a smooth transition for your furry friends. In this blog post, we’ll share our top 5 tips for moving with pets to help make the process as stress-free as possible for them.

1. Prepare an Overnight Kit

Prepare an overnight kit with enough pet food, toys, bedding, and any necessary medications to keep your pet comfortable during the first few days in your new home. This will help minimize their anxiety and ensure they have everything they need right away.

2. Keep Your Pet’s Routine

Try to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible during the move. Maintain regular feeding times, walks, and playtime to provide a sense of normalcy. This consistency will help reduce their stress and anxiety.

3. Create a Safe Space

Designate a safe and quiet space for your pet in both your old and new homes. Use a familiar crate or bed, and include their favorite toys and blankets. This space will serve as a comforting retreat where your pet can relax away from the chaos of moving.

4. Update Pet Identification

Ensure your pet’s identification tags and microchip information are up-to-date with your new address and contact information. This is crucial in case your pet gets lost during the move.

5. Introduce Your Pet to Their New Home Gradually

When you arrive at your new home, introduce your pet to one room at a time. Allow them to explore and adjust at their own pace. Gradual introductions to new spaces can help reduce their anxiety and make them feel more comfortable.

Moving with pets requires extra care and planning, but with these tips, you can help make the transition smoother for your furry family members. For a stress-free moving experience for both you and your pets, trust Hevligt Movers to handle all your moving needs. Contact us today for a free quote!
