Moving with Pets: How to Keep Your Furry Friends Calm
Moving can be stressful for everyone—including your pets. A change in environment, unfamiliar noises, and disrupted routines can make them anxious. At MooveIt Removals, we know that keeping your furry friends calm during a move is just as important as packing up your belongings. Here’s how you can make the transition easier for them.
1. Plan Ahead for Your Pet’s Comfort
Before moving day arrives, take steps to prepare your pet for the big change:
- Keep their routine consistent – Try to maintain regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedules.
- Introduce moving supplies gradually – Let them get used to boxes and packing materials so they don’t feel overwhelmed.
- Update their ID tags and microchip details – In case they get lost during the move, having up-to-date information is crucial.
2. Pack a Pet Essentials Bag
Just like you’ll need a bag with important items, your pet does too. Pack:
- Food and water
- Bowls
- Favorite toys
- Bedding
- Medications (if needed)
- A leash or carrier Having familiar items around will help soothe their anxiety.
3. Create a Safe Space on Moving Day
Moving day can be chaotic, and open doors or loud noises may make pets feel uneasy. Consider:
- Keeping them in a quiet room away from the action
- Asking a friend or family member to look after them
- Using calming aids like pheromone diffusers or natural pet relaxants
4. Transport Them Safely
Whether moving locally or long-distance, ensure your pet is safe during transit:
- Secure them in a carrier or with a pet seatbelt
- Keep the car temperature comfortable
- Stop for regular water and bathroom breaks if it’s a long journey
5. Help Them Adjust to the New Home
Once you arrive, make your pet feel at home:
- Set up their bed, food, and toys in a quiet area
- Allow them to explore gradually, one room at a time
- Stick to their usual routine to ease the transition
- Offer extra love and reassurance
