Moving Tips for Pet Owners

Pets are a cherished part of our family, yet they can also become stressed when life changes. How do we reduce their stress levels and adapt to the inevitable fluctuations in their schedule?

Maintaining your pet's usual daily routine is crucial for their overall well-being. When you're packing up your house to move to Florida, it's important to keep the same daily routine for your pet so that they don't become overwhelmed or unsettled. Keeping their schedule as consistent as possible will help reduce stress and make their transition smoother.

Animals are creatures of habit, so it is essential to maintain their regular feeding, exercise, and bedtime schedule during such a major change to minimize stress. Your pet will notice changes when seeing boxes packed and owners bustling about; however, if you stick with the same routine as before, your furry friend can feel some semblance of normality even amidst the chaos.
Include Your Furry Friend in the Moving Process for a Truly Seamless Transition!

You might be wondering how Fido or Fluffy can get involved in the moving process, as they certainly aren't able to help you pack boxes and tidy up. Fortunately, there are a few ways for your four-legged friend to join in on the excitement of relocation! Here's what we suggest:

1.    Invite your furry friends to explore the adventurous world of empty boxes - they're sure to have a blast!
2.    Make sure to take regular breaks throughout the day to make time for your pets.
3.    Show your furry friends some extra love and treat them to something special.
4.    Incentivize positive actions to cultivate a successful, encouraging environment.

Dogs may enjoy fetch as an enjoyable activity, but cats usually respond differently in stressful or unfamiliar environments - they tend to hide. But when it comes down to it, what cat doesn't love a giant box for them to explore and play with?

Ensure That Your Pet's Belongings are the Final Items to be Moved

As we face this momentous transition to Florida, it is vital to maintain the regular routine. To ease your furry friends into the move, leave their familiar items - such as food bowls and beds - until last. This will provide them with some sense of security while limiting any additional stress they may experience during the process.
