Helping your pet feel comfortable in your new home

Moving house is a process full of emotions! With the move, we are stressed, tired, anxious and very excited. Just like us, pets also go through this roller coaster of feelings! The whole process of how to adapt the dog to the new home requires a certain amount of dedication from the tutors.

The first thing you have to do is organize everything before taking the pet to the new home, a mistake many tutors make is to take the dog to the new home on the moving day. Getting in and out of boxes and furniture can make the animal extremely stressed and unreceptive to change. In addition, as the door is open for a long time during the moment of the moving, the chances of the pet running away also increase.

Then, keep the dog’s routine in the new home.
Dogs love routine. Our furry friends may not have a calendar, but their system works like a clock. That way, the pet knows when to get up, when to get food, when to go for a walk and even when you’re going to get home!

Therefore, escaping from routine is very stressful for dogs. So, as much as you are full of tasks, preparing to move house, try to keep your pet’s routine.

Don’t wash your pet’s stuff before moving.
With a new house, the smells that your partner will perceive are completely different, which can leave him quite confused. So an interesting tip is not to wash his items before moving. That way, the blankets, beds and toys still have the familiar smells he was used to, and will help him adapt to the new location more quickly.

Everything has its time!! Don’t worry, as everything has its time, and eventually your partner will get used to the new home. Take it easy and your pet will surely love the new home, which is still full of love!
