Moving for humans is stressful but can you imagine how discombobulating this time must be for your furry friends. MiniMovers has helped thousands of Australians move locally over the years and we’ve picked up a few tricks to make sure that your pets feel right at home in your new abode.
The first step is to hire a removalist to help you with your move. We know it sounds like a little self-serving but trust us when we say that having a few extra pair of hands during your moving day. With someone looking after your move, you can then concentrate on helping transport your more personal belongings including your pets.
The second step is getting your pets familiar with their surroundings. For both dogs and cats it would be extremely helpful to bring something from your old home that the pet would automatically associate themselves with. Leave a fluffy toy or blanket that your pet would most likely sleep in and give them a chance to explore the inside of your new space. For cats, thinks would be a bit tricky because they can easily escape and if they’re not that familiar with their territory yet then they can easily get lost. Take some time to let them observe and spread their scent around your new home before releasing them.
The last step would be to regularly take your pets around the neighbourhood. For dogs, this could serve both as your scheduled walks but for cats this may entail bringing them in a pet transport bag. This will help give your pets their bearings and if they do end up escaping, they can always find their way home.
