Moving to a new home is exciting, but it can also be stressful – especially if you have a pet. Pets are part of the family, so you want to make sure they’re comfortable and happy in their new surroundings. Here are some tips to help make the transition seamless for both you and your furry friend.

1. Get them acclimated to the new house before the move. If possible, bring your pet over to the new house a few times before the actual move. This will allow them to get used to the smell and layout of the place and hopefully reduce their stress on moving day.
2. Make sure their identification is up to date. Your pet should always have identification, but it’s especially important when you’re moving to a new area. Make sure their ID tags have your current address and phone number, and consider microchipping them as an extra precaution in case they get lost during the move.
3. Pack their essentials ahead of time. A few days before the move, pack up your pet’s food, toys, bedding, and any other essentials they might need and put them in a spot where they’ll be easy to access on moving day. This will help ensure that your pet has everything they need while everything else is being unpacked.
4. Keep them calm on moving day. On the big day, keep your pet in a quiet room with their essentials while the movers are coming in and out of the house. This will minimize their stress and make sure they don’t get underfoot (or into something they shouldn’t). 

Moving with a pet doesn’t have to be stressful – just follow these simple tips and you’ll both be settled into your new home in no time!
