We love our furry friends. Their health and emotional balance is just as important as ours. The sad eyes, the worried look, and the failure to eat or sleep is mute testimony to their uncertainty about moving away from home. Moving services from Chicago has a few tips to help you get your pet through moving day.
Include Her
Take your dog to the new house and allow her to sniff out places in it with which she’ll feel comfortable. Walk her around the neighborhood and introduce her to the new neighbors. Allow her to become familiar with the yard. Animals react differently to unfamiliar places; you want her to be happy and adventurous in the new house.
Crate Training
Your pet will need to be crated for the trip to the new house. If she’s never been in one, then you’ll need to get her used to it. Stashing her in a crate she’s never seen before will make her more anxious. She needs to be comfortable and feel secure in her crate before moving services Chicago show up.
Maintain Her Routine
Maintaining your pet’s routine will reassure her in the chaos of moving. Her bed, toys, food and water dishes, and her play time or walks must continue at the regular times and places. If everything remains the same, both in the old house and the new, she should be fine.
Moving Day
Pets shouldn’t be underfoot on moving day. She could get out the door and run to a place in which she’ll feel secure like the back yard, for example. Take her to a parent’s or friend’s home for the day. She’ll have lots of attention there, and she won’t be anxious or afraid of the noise and movement. Feel free to contact Aaron Bros.
