Moving can be extremely stressful and complicated, and that’s without the added stress of moving with pets. Our furry friends take comfort in routines, so a move can be an emotional experience. However, with a bit of planning and forethought, you’ll be able to make your move as stress-free as possible.
At National Movers, we’ve put together tips for moving with your pets to help you ensure your furry friends have a smooth transition to your new home.
You should always take your pet to the vet for a checkup before moving and get your veterinarian’s advice on how to make the move as smooth as possible. Your vet will check your pet for fleas, ensure all vaccinations are up to date, and provide you with your pet's health records, in case you'll need to switch vets in your new neighborhood or city. A vet will also advise you on stress-reduction tactics and supplements that will help you keep your pet calm during the move.
If you’re moving to a new city or state with your pets, it’s best to familiarize yourself with the state’s leash laws, pet ordinances, and pet licensing requirements. It’s best to do your research beforehand to avoid running into legal problems or being turned away at the vet. You can obtain information on local laws from the State Department of Agriculture or State Veterinarian’s Office.
Ensure your pets are secured by a seatbelt in their carrier to keep them safe in case of an accident. You should also make sure there are no loose objects around the carrier that could hit your pet.
To make things easier on the moving day, consider hiring a pet sitter to watch over your pet. Hiring a pet sitter not only frees you up to focus on the move, but it also gives you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in good hands.
Moving with pets can be complicated, especially for someone without moving experience. It’s never advisable to opt for a DIY move as it can prove to be costly and time-consuming in the long run. Whether it’s your first move or you have prior experience with moving with pets, it’s advisable to hire reliable local movers to help you make the transition as easy as possible for your furry friends. Experienced local movers have completed countless moves with pets, so they know how to make the process smooth and less stressful.
If you have an upcoming move, you can count on National Movers to make your transition as stress-free as possible for everyone in your family, including your pets. Whether you’re moving across town or to a distant state, we have what it takes to execute a smooth move.
