Top Tips For Moving With Pets - Ottawa

Moving can be a roller coaster of emotions, but you know, it might feel even more for our furry friends. 

Hey, this is Steve Hamre from the Hamre Real Estate team at RE/MAX Affiliates. 

Today, we're diving into the top tips for moving with your pets, ensuring that they have the smoothest transition possible. 

Hey, folks, have you ever juggled the thought of how you can make your next move stress-free for your pets? 

You've landed in the right place! First up, prepare a pet essential bag. 

Think of it as a little care package. This could include food, toys, medication, their favorite treats, or even their cozy blanket.

It's a go-to bag for everything they need before moving. Make a trip to the vet, and ensure they're up-to-date with their vaccinations. 

And don't forget to ask about calming solutions. If your pet tends to get anxious, bring them to the new place before you move in. If possible, let them explore and get familiar. 

This can make the actual move day less intimidating. Safety first! Whenever you're traveling by car or plane, ensure your pet is secure. 

And remember to take frequent breaks if you're on a long drive. 

Once you've moved, create a dedicated space for them immediately. This comfort zone helps them feel safe in the chaos of unpacking. 

Your pet picks up on your vibes. Stay calm, keep the routine steady, and shower them with love and positivity.

You can make a world of difference. Last but not least, update their tags and microchip information. We hope they never get lost, but it's always best to be prepared. 

Moving with pets can seem challenging. But with these tips, we hope the journey becomes a tad bit easier for both you and your furry babies.
