A big move can be emotional for you and your family. You may be leaving behind a lot of memories and good times. Plus, there is the stress that a big move can cause for everyone as well. This is a big change for everyone and you need to have a plan in place for how to handle it and make sure that everyone understands the move and is prepared.
This can also be a challenging time emotionally for your pet. You are taking them from their home and it is often not as easy for them to understand why the change is happening or even what the change is all about. Most animals are going to experience some kind of anxiety when they travel. Whether you make plans to drive to your new home or you would like to fly, you need to come up with a good plan to handle the emotional needs of your pet along the way.
The way that you choose to do this will depend on your pet and what is going to work the best for them. Sometimes just giving them some extra love and attention for a week or so before the move can help them feel comfortable and can ease the tension and the stress that they are dealing with. For some animals, a light sedative, approved by the vet, is going to help them to feel better and can calm them down.
Whatever course of action you choose for your dog or cat, you will need to try to keep their schedule as normal as possible. This means stick with the usual playing, feeding, and bedtime rituals, at least as much as possible. This consistency is going to give them some of the comfort that they need and will relieve some of the stress that they may experience during this time. You may not be able to do it perfectly, but trying your best and giving your pet lots of love here will help.
