Tips for Moving with Pets: A Guide from Trusst Builder Group

Moving to a new home is an exciting adventure, but it can also be challenging, especially when you have pets. At Trusst Builder Group, we understand that your furry friends are part of the family, and their well-being is as important as yours during the moving process. 

Here are some helpful tips for relocating with pets to help make your move as smooth as possible.

Plan Ahead

Start preparing for the move well in advance. Ensure your pet’s identification tags and microchip information are updated with your new address. If you’re moving to a different area, research local veterinarians and pet services so you’re prepared once you arrive.

Keep Your Pet’s Routine

Pets thrive on routine, so keep their schedule as consistent as possible during the move. Stick to regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to reduce stress and provide a sense of normalcy.

Create a Safe Space

Designate a quiet, safe space for your pet away from the hustle and bustle on moving day. This could be a room in your home or a familiar crate or carrier. This will help keep your pet calm and prevent them from getting underfoot or slipping out during the move.

Pack a Pet Essentials Kit

Prepare a pet essentials kit with everything your pet will need for the first few days in your new home. Include food, water, bowls, a leash, toys, bedding, and medications. Having these items readily accessible will help your pet feel more comfortable in their new environment.

Take a Familiar Item

Bring along a favorite blanket, bed, or toy that smells like home. Familiar scents can comfort your pet and help ease the transition to a new space.

Introduce Your Pet Gradually

Once you arrive at your new home, introduce your pet to one room at a time, starting with a small, quiet area. Allow them to explore at their own pace and gradually expand their access to the rest of the house as they become more comfortable.

Update Your Pet’s Microchip and Tags

As soon as possible, update your pet’s microchip and identification tags with your new address and contact information. This is crucial in case your pet gets lost in the new neighborhood.

Be Patient

Moving is a significant change for your pet, and it may take some time for them to adjust. Be patient and give them extra attention and reassurance during the transition.

At Trusst Builder Group, we know that moving can be stressful, but with the proper preparation and care, your pets can adjust to their new home smoothly. Whether you’re building a new house or moving into one of our beautifully designed homes, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
