TIPS FOR MOVING WITH PETS

Have your packing checklist ready? Is your appointment with Brothers Movers booked? Then do not forget about those furry little animals that also have to go through the hassle of moving homes. These little ones take comfort in the home that they were first brought in and moving homes can shake them up a little. You have to pay close attention to them while moving and get them familiar with the new place. Do not forget that moving is tougher for them than it is for you. Lucking our team has prepared all the points that you need to know when moving with these furry animals.

GET YOUR PET USED TO THE PACKING SUPPLIES

Your pets have the unique ability to sense the energy that is going around in the house. They pick up on your vibrations. Many pets love to play with the packing supplies, who does not like empty boxes and endless rolls of wrapping paper? To get them used to the whole process, start packing early on. If you have a spare room, start stacking your boxes in that room and take your pet in there to look, or just get familiarised with the things. Conditioning them beforehand will reduce the chances of box attacks and help ease the whole process for them.

KEEP A SECLUDED AND COMFORTABLE PLACE FOR YOUR PET

In between all the boxes and packing supplies, your house can literally turn upside down. All this chaos can lead your pet to get stressed as they might not understand what is going on. To provide them with comfort and ease, do not mess with their usual spot in the house. With a lot of things on your plate, the last thing you want is your pet to get infuriated at you. So, a simple solution to this is to give them time and space when they need it and that will only be possible in their comfy and cozy corner.

FAMILIARISE YOUR PET WITH THE NEW SPACE

Take it from us, it will not be easy for your pet to move into a new space. The best thing that you can do is take them to the new house before moving fully. Leave them open and let them explore the place by themselves. This will prevent a shocker for them on the moving day itself. Pets love their comfort zone and moving can be a drastic change for them. So, make it a point to take them to the new space to prevent them from getting stressed.

PET-PROOF YOUR NEW HOUSE BEFOREHAND

Keep in mind that even you are not familiar with the surroundings and it can be difficult for you to keep an eye on your pet at all times. We advise you to book a pet-proofing service a couple of days before moving in. When you bring in the stuff, keep all your eatables at a safe height. You do not want any kind of mishap during the moving-in process.
