Moving can be a stressful event, not just for you but also for your pets. Consider arranging for a pet sitter or a friend to look after your pets on moving day. This can significantly reduce their stress and keep them out of the chaos. If that’s not possible, designate a quiet room where your pets can stay with their essentials like food, water, and some familiar toys. Make sure the room is clearly marked so our movers know not to enter.  Transporting your pets should be done in a secure, well-ventilated carrier, and it is essential to keep them restrained during the journey for their safety. Once at your new home, set up a similar designated space to help them adjust gradually. Remember to update their microchip details and tags with your new address.
