When it comes to moving, you can’t afford to assume that your pets will be okay with the change. They won’t be. If anything, your pets will be even more stressed about the move than you will be.
The thing that you have to understand about animals is that they get very comfortable in a particular environment and they don’t understand why you felt the need to suddenly take them away from everything that they knew and loved. When the moving company in Phoenix comes in and start moving things into the vans, your pet will think that their world has started tumbling down around them.
As a pet owner, it’s your responsibility to do everything you can to make the relocation process as easy on your pets as you possibly can.
If your pet doesn’t travel well, you need to talk to your vet about what you can do to make the car ride easier. Giving your pet a mild sedative so that they don’t panic while in the car will keep them relaxed. It will also make the ride more comfortable for your family. Long car trips with a panicking, possibly sick pet, are not fun for anyone. If you dog or cat gets anxious while traveling, you want to keep them constrained. You don’t want them to escape when you open the car doors and start running loose in an unfamiliar area.
When the moving company in Phoenix packs your belongings into the van, make sure that they do so in a way that allows you to get to your pets favorite things right away. These should be the first thing you unpack so your pet feels more at home.
When you hire a moving company in Phoenix you want to make it very clear that you have a pet and what type of pet you have. By knowing this information ahead of time, the moving company in Phoenix will make sure that the movers they send to your home are good with animals. They will be able to offer tips about what you can do to make life easier for your pet.
Even though you chose an animal friendly moving company in Phoenix you will want to make sure you keep your pet constrained while the movers are loading up your belongings. This is especially true of house cats. You don’t want the cat to get out of the house while the items are getting loaded. By having the cat crated prior to the moving company in Phoenix movers getting to your home, you’ll decrease the chances of your pet escape, while increasing the chances of being able to hit the road on time. Give your pet several weeks to get used to their new home before you turn them loose outdoors.
