"To avoid any additional pressure on your pets, show them where all the essentials are before letting them have free reign of the house. Take them to the potty area, and then let them have access to a sanctuary room while they adjust. The sanctuary room should have familiar items such as their bed, food bowls, and toys. Avoid long walks and meeting neighbors until they have had at least a few weeks to learn new sights, smells, and rhythm of their new daily routine."
"Try your best to remain calm during the weeks that you're packing up your home. From gathering packing materials to organizing your moving boxes, there are tons of things to get done. If you're super-stressed your dog will pick up on your emotions and feel uneasy as well. If you can stay organized and collected and pack up over time, your dog will feel more at ease during this transition."
Moving can be stressful for dogs because of new rooms, unfamiliar smells, yards, and neighbors. Owners should show pets where essentials are located before allowing full access and provide a sanctuary room with familiar bedding, food bowls, and toys. Limit long walks and meeting neighbors for a few weeks while dogs adjust to new sights, smells, and daily rhythms. Maintain calm while packing to avoid transmitting anxiety. Locate a new veterinarian and an emergency clinic, add their contact details and addresses to a phone, and learn routes. Update collar tags before moving to ensure quick identification if a pet becomes lost.
