Do’s and Dont’s when moving Pets

Moving Pets Do’s

Plan ahead. Even if you’re just moving across town, finding out at the last minute that you have to carry Fluffy in the car because no one planned for a box or kennel will leave you filled with regret — and covered with claw marks.

Trust me on that…

* Make the move stress-free on your pet. Emotions tend to be high when moving, so if Spot pees on the floor of the car, cut him some slack. If you haven’t packed cleaning supplies for just such an emergency, refer back to the tip about planning ahead.

* You might want to have them stay at a neighbor during the packing and loading to keep them from the line of fire. Or at least put them in a kennel while the movers do their thing.

* Give your animal water often. Also, plan for breaks to let them get a little fresh air. It will be easier for everyone to take that extra time.

* Let your pet get used to its new home in its own time. If your furry friend wants to hide under the sofa for three days, it’s cool. The neighbors will all get a chance to meet the pets in due time, no matter how badly your kids want to show them off. Allowing them to acclimate to their new space will also help prevent lost or confused pets in a new neighborhood.

Nothing’s worse than letting a nervous calico out into a new neighborhood only to have it disappear trying to find its old home.

* Try to keep the animals in the same routine as you did before the move to reassure them. If they took a walk just before bed or ate exactly at 10 a.m., make sure that happens for them during and after the move as well.

Moving Pets Dont’s

* Don’t forget to call the airline if you are traveling by air — in fact, call several weeks or even months in advance. Airlines have different policies on how pets can travel. If the airline wants to put Max in an unheated cargo hold and that’s not OK with you, you’ll know. Make educated choices about how your pets travel.

* Don’t discount the importance of visiting a veterinarian and asking for sedatives for your animal. It can make the difference between a simple move and a gut-wrenching odyssey. A vet can also help you with moving plans if you have more exotic pets that need special care.

* Don’t let anyone convince you they can move a 55-gallon fish tank in the moving van half-full of water and fish. Bad idea. Bag up your fish in plastic bags with water from their tank, and close with rubber bands. Leave the bag about half full of air, and pack them into a cheap Styrofoam cooler for the trip. If you don’t want your expensive fish tank to leak or have cracks in it when you get to your new destination, make sure it travels empty. Ask me how I know.

* Don’t expect several animals to travel in a car together without being confined. Even though the cat and dog love each other and are familiar with each other, the excitement of the trip will have your car feeling like a Wiley Coyote cartoon. Get individual kennels for each animal.

* Don’t forget to give your animals some extra love during this time of adjustment. This is tougher on them than it is on you (though at the end of the move you might find that hard to believe). The whole reason you are having them move with you is they are important to your family.

Just try to remember that when your car smells like cat litter, there is dog slobber on the baby, and no one can find the hamster. Finally, these are just some of the great moving tips from Men on the Move.

Time Table for Moving

Time Table for Moving

Before you move you should make a helpful list of things to do and a time table to prepare yourself for the move. These Tips can be helpful in making your move go smooth.

2 months before you start to move you should be going through your items and possessions and discarding / donating / saving for a garage sale the items that you don’t want to move or no longer have a use for. Preparing for a move is a good time to clean the house. You should start looking for a moving company around this time.

Time Table Steps

1 month before you should start packing items, wrapping breakable items and properly storing and securing items. Be sure you label your boxes well during this phase, make sure you have what is in the box as well as what room in the house the item goes too. You need to select a moving company around this time and make arrangements with them. This is a good time to have a Garage Sale for the times you don’t want to move.

2 weeks prior to your move, you should have all but the essentials packed. Boxes should be labeled and organized. You should call and confirm your moving date and anything else you might need for the move.

The moving day you need to be prepared for the movers to arrive and start moving your items, boxes should be organized in a way to allow the moves to get around from room to room. They know the best way to pack the truck so items might be loaded later in the move could be in their way if they are trying to carry out a large item.
