Moving can be stressful for you and your dog as well. Try to give plenty of attention to your pet when you’re not very busy. Here are some things you can do to help ease the stress of moving and make the trip to your new Orie unit with your pet more comfortable.
Prepare in Advance
You should begin packing early to ensure your dog won’t be too anxious with everything that’s going on. You can assign a pet sitter to care for your dog or give them some of their favorite toys or objects to reduce stress for your furry friend. Pack essential items for your cuddly pooch like food, water, leash and collar, and some cleaning materials to prepare for the big trip.
Ensure Travel Comfort
Your dog might be extremely nervous when you travel to your designated area. Make sure to pet-proof your car to prevent your pet from soiling in unwanted places. Use a pet harness, seatbelt, or carrier filled with familiar bedding and toys, and make sure they are securely set up for their safety during travel.
Set Up Familiar Items
Your dog won’t be very nervous if you provide them with their favorite things. These items help keep your dog happy and entertained during your moving trip. It can be toys, treats, comfortable bedding, and even your used-up flip-flops or slippers!
Introduce Your Pet Slowly to the New Environment
Your furry friend might be worried and sad that they moved away from their former home, so introduce your pet slowly and carefully to keep your pet from being too scared to even roam around. You can comfort your pet while showing him/her around to get the maximum effect and ensure your pet feels safe and secure.
Spend Quality Time
You and your dog might miss your former and original home. Spending quality time with your pet by playing with them or just sitting next to them will make your pet feel happy and content. Your dog will get used to your new home soon and you can help speed it up by comforting and giving affection to your furry friend every day.
