Moving is often one of life’s most trying times. Gathering up all you possess and going to an unfamiliar place can be overwhelming. But it’s not only taxing on you; it’s also a difficult time for your pets. Check out our tips for moving with pets in Fishers and discover how you can make relocating to your new apartment more manageable for them.

Where You Move In Fishers Makes A Huge Difference

You may love the amenities and floor plans of an apartment you’re thinking about, but is it appropriate for your animal companion? When visiting a community, take note of different things that may impact your pet and pose the following questions:

  • Is there enough green space on site or a dog park?

  • Are there an appropriate amount of dog waste stations around the grounds?

  • Do you see other amenities your pet could benefit from, like a cleaning station or walking paths?

  • Do they arrange gatherings geared towards pets?

Where you move counts. Some communities just cater to pets and owners more adequately than others. Pick a pet-centric apartment to ensure a pleasant experience for you and your furry friends.

Packing Strategies To Protect Your Pet’s Mental Health

Cats are known for being resistant to change, and dogs don’t particularly enjoy it either. This is wise to remember when packing. Consider putting pets in a familiar place that you may pack up last. On moving day, try keeping them in a room with the door shut to limit the noise. Even better, shuttle them to a friend’s or family member’s house for the day. When walking boxes to your moving truck, you don’t want a stressed animal under your feet.

Ensure Your Furry Companions Are Familiar With Crates And Carriers

When was the last time your cat was in a carrier or your dog in a crate? If it’s been a while, you might try to reintroduce them prior to moving. Permit a month or longer to accomplish this. Use these animal transports in your existing place. You might even take your four-legged friends on a quick drive. Of course, a bit of positive reinforcement with their favorite treats also can help. The more they get used to the containers, the more prepared they’ll be for moving.
