Getting everything packed in time, organizing transport for all your furniture, and settling into your new house can all make moving stressful enough already. Add in the worry of settling your pet, and it could seem as though it\u2019s all too much. That is until you discover there are ways to help your pet adjust to a new home that will help take a huge amount of stress away from the entire move.<\/p>\n

Remember to be patient<\/h2>\n

The chances are you have already seen this house before you moved in. Although they are a new set of four walls to look at, you will be familiar with the home and have settled to the idea you\u2019re going to move. Sadly, your pet doesn\u2019t have that pleasure. It\u2019s likely they will want to sniff every inch of their new home or want to find somewhere to hide out until they settle to their new surroundings. This is all perfectly normal behavior, and it\u2019s important to remember they will come and find you when they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t change routines<\/h2>\n

If your pet is used to being fed at a particular time, always has a walk at the same time each day, or gets to sleep on your bed at night then make sure you factor in time to your move to keep up with their routine. Animals are creatures that crave the same patterns every day. Trying to mix it up or skipping something they have been so used to for the last few years could throw everything off balance for your four-legged friend.<\/p>\n

Think about safety<\/h2>\n

Although it might sound silly, it\u2019s important to think about your pet\u2019s safety throughout the move. If you have a pet that loves to roam around the neighborhood then now might be the time to get them inside to safety. After all, the boxes and moving people coming in and out could cause them to panic and run away. Plus, now is a good time to make sure your pet is wearing the correct pet tags with a copy of your cell number.<\/p>\n
