Dogs are generally easy to move with – but if they are prone to stress or anxiety the relocation could be difficult for them. You may like to send them to stay with relatives or friends they know well whilst you prepare the house and pack up if they are especially excitable or elderly. Before you introduce them to your new home make sure their things are set up ready for them – bed, crate, food bowls. Have plenty of treats on hand for positive reinforcement, as this will help you to teach them the new rules of the house and show them where they are allowed and where they’re not. If your dog is anxious or stressed you may like to help them cope with a pheromone plug in or animal anxiety vest.
If you have rodents, rabbits or other small furry family members, it’s important to make necessary preparations for the move. Reptiles in particular will need careful handling and transportation along with their kit. It might be worth enlisting professional assistance from a company that specialises in moving reptiles, snakes, spiders and other more unusual pets, as they will ensure that your pet is well cared for throughout. If you need to fly to your destination they may even drive or accompany your pet on its journey. – Eview
