Moving with a dog: What You Need to Know
Moving with a dog:
What You Need to Know
Do you think moving across the country or across town can be
challenging for you and your family during a home removal? You
can imagine how stressful it can be for your dog.
Your removalist removals insurance can provide free moving
boxes, packing services, and more so moving need not be a huge deal for you
since you are a rational creature.
Unlike humans, dogs
follow a routine. You may upset your dog with new routines, including the
hustle and bustle of packing up belongings in boxes and arranging removalists.
The smells in your new home can also send your dog into an
emotional tailspin when you move houses with a dog. Your dog may become upset
when he or she senses that stranger the removalists -- have entered your home
because of their developed sense of smell.
The scent left behind by your new home's previous occupants
may also confuse your dog. City Removalist offers some tips for helping your
pup adjust to your move as well.
Consistently
time your meals and training
Keeping your dog on a normal schedule is the best thing you
can do, says Kristina Lotz, a pet care expert. It is important to keep your
dog's normal eating, training, and walking schedule.
Your dog
should be kept in a familiar place during the house showings and the removal.
Consider letting a trusted friend or doggie day-care take
care of your dog when you show your house and when the removalists arrive if
strangers cause your dog anxiety.
Moving
with your dog is a good idea.
Be sure to bring your dog along with you on moving day. If
you are present to help keep your dog calm, he will appreciate it. It will seem
as if your dog is just on another vacation with you when you take him along,
this is very important on long distance trips like interstate
removals.
Your dog
should be vaccinated on a regular basis.
Keep in mind that state laws will differ depending on where
you live. If you are moving to a new house, make sure you are up to date on all
vaccination requirements. Take your dog's medical records with you to your new
location and find a veterinarian who you trust.
Ensure
your dog has the proper identification.
To avoid losing your dog during the moving process, consider
having him microchipped. Have a tag on his or her collar with your new contact
information at the very least.
Your
dog's favourite toys and blanket should be brought.
Your dog's equipment shouldn't be taken by the removalists.
Take a favourite blanket and toy with you when you travel. Take a familiar
blanket and toy along with your dog if you will have to board him or her or fly
him or her in cargo.
Leash
your dog once you arrive.
It is possible for your dog to become confused at your new
home. You may even find that he or she tries to run away to your old house.
Leashes should be used until your dog has acclimated to the new home.
With these tips, moving house with a dog can be a
stress-free experience, just as if you book your removal with City Removalist.
