Moving your entire family into a new house can be a stressful change, not only for you and the rest of the family but for your dog as well. Of all of the life changes that your pet can experience in his lifetime, moving can be the biggest.<\/p>\n

Your dog’s temperament will have a big influence on how he reacts to all of the confusion, however, it is safe to say that regardless of what breed your dog is, there are some very useful tips that you can use to alleviate the stress. Below are a few:<\/p>\n

1. If you have a small dog, be sure to have invested in a sturdy carrier that you can use to transport him to the new house on the day of the big move.<\/p>\n

2. Because your dog feels a sense of security in his day-to-day routine, try your best to gradually make changes with your moving plans by packing boxes and storing household items weeks ahead of time. This is far better than waiting until the last minute and totally confusing your dog with the extreme upheaval of the entire household.<\/p>\n

3. Dogs do escape so be sure to have an appropriate ID tag attached to his collar with the current address and phone information. He may become disoriented from the move and try to dart away.<\/p>\n

4. If you have to travel a long distance to your new home and run the chance of making an overnight stay at a motel, plan ahead of time for a pet-friendly establishment. This will save you a lot of stress trying to find a suitable hotel in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

5. Moving day means that your dog should not be around while everyone is making their last-minute adjustments and packing finalities. During this time it is wise to tuck your dog into a room of his own with food and water and do not disturb him besides bathroom breaks of course. Keeping him in private and away from the confusion will prevent disorientation and stress.<\/p>\n

6. If you happen to be flying to your new destination, it should go without saying that choosing a pet-friendly airline is of utmost importance.\u00a0 Plan ahead of time with a suitable airline and do not be shy about asking questions as it pertains to dog travel and whether or not he is small enough to be carried on board with you. If the airline makes you feel uncomfortable as you ask questions, choose another carrier.<\/p>\n
