Moving is disorienting for pets. Preparation makes a real difference.

Before the Move

  • Update microchip and ID tag before moving day
  • Start Feliway diffuser 1-2 weeks before for cats
  • Maintain routine during packing period

On Moving Day

  • Keep pets secured away from front door during loading
  • Consider boarding pets on moving day itself

Settling In

  • Dogs: maintain feeding and walking schedule precisely
  • Cats: confine to one room initially, expand gradually, keep indoors 3-4 weeks
