Tips for moving with your animals

Moving to a place down the block, to another city or another state can be stressful. In many ways, your pets can react to moving in the same way humans do. It is a stressful time for them too. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind while moving yourself and your pet.

Make sure your pet has a check-up with your vet and ask the veterinarian if they know of any diseases that your pet might be at risk for in the area you are moving to.
Pack your pet's medical history.
Pack your pet's toys, food dishes, blankets, etc in the same box for quick access.
If you have a smaller animal that lives in a cage (like a snake, hamster or bird), keep it in there during the move, take out anything that might tumble around and injure your pet, and cover it with a blanket so they don't become overstimulated with new scenery.
If you're traveling, never leave your pets alone in the car with your windows up.
Don't wash your pets favorite blanket or pillow during a move. This allows them to have a familiar scent in their new home.
Let your pet stretch and relax as soon as you can, and walk them around the property so they are familiar with their boundaries.
