Pets are important members of the family and will definitely be part of the big move to your new home at Springleaf Modern. Keep your pet safe and comfortable with these tips, which will also help them become less anxious and stressed during the process.
Prepare a Pet Bag
Have a pet bag ready before moving to accommodate your pets needs, including blankets, water, food, diapers, waste bags, toys and other necessities. This reduces the stress of moving with a pet while also ensuring they are taken care of along the way.
Entertain Them
Leave a little time during moving to keep them entertained and get some exercise in to burn their energy. This way, they will be calm and happily rest or sleep during travel because you’ve just played with them.
Allot a Comfy Space
Keep some space clear and unoccupied for your pet for them to have a place to stay during the moving process, and for them to hide around in if it gets stressful. The space can be anywhere in the house where they can feel comfortable and hidden from the outside so they can rest and take a break from all that’s happening while moving.
Familiarize with Pet Guidelines
Take some time to know about the guidelines for pets in the new area you are going to move in, so that you will know what to do when you take your pet around with you. Keep yourself up to date with the rules regarding pets.
Find Pet-friendly Accommodations
Make sure the condo you will move to will be welcoming and accommodating to pets. Do your research about the places you want to go to, whether the place is pet friendly and that they are welcome in the area, so that you and your fur baby can both have a good time.
Secure Them
Do NOT leave doors open while moving. Keep them safe and make sure that they won’t run away. Never leave your pet alone in a place where you can’t see them, because they might potentially get scared and take off. Just in case, it is encouraged you install a tracker in their leash or tag, which would be helpful when navigating a new neighborhood or city.
