Pet Relocation Tips – Moving with Pets Made Easy
Make Moving Day Easier for You and Your Pets
Moving is stressful enough — but when pets are involved, it takes extra care. Whether you're moving with a dog, cat, or other furry friend, iBox Moving has the experience to help you prepare. Here’s how to relocate pets safely and calmly.
1. Visit the Vet Before the Move
Schedule a checkup to ensure your pet is healthy and up to date on vaccines. Ask for copies of medical records and discuss ways to reduce anxiety if your pet is sensitive to change.
2. Get Your Pet Used to the Carrier
If your pet isn’t already crate-trained, introduce the carrier early. Let them explore it, nap in it, and associate it with treats or toys. This will reduce stress on moving day.
3. Keep Their Routine
Feed and walk your pets at the same times each day leading up to the move. Familiar routines help reduce anxiety and keep pets feeling safe.
4. Prepare a Pet Essentials Bag
Pack a small bag with food, water, toys, medications, leashes, litter, and cleaning supplies. Keep it handy for moving day and your first few nights in the new home.
5. Secure Pets on Moving Day
Keep pets in a quiet room or with a trusted friend while movers are in the home. Open doors and heavy foot traffic can be dangerous or overwhelming for animals.
6. Set Up Their Space First
Once you arrive, arrange your pet’s bed, bowls, and favorite items in a calm area of the new home. The sooner they feel at home, the better.
