Moving is typically one of the most challenging events in our lives. Packing up all you own and traveling to a new place can be overwhelming. But it’s not just hard on you; it’s also a time of upheaval for your four-legged family members. Review our recommendations for moving with pets in Fishers and see how you can make the move to your new apartment less stressful for them.

Where You Live In Fishers Makes A Big Difference

You could like the amenities and floor plans of an apartment you’re thinking about, but is it appropriate for your animal? When touring a community, take heed of different things that play a role in pets’ lives and pose the following sorts of questions:

  • Is there enough green space around or a bark park?

  • Are there a suitable number of doggie waste stations across the community?

  • Are there other amenities your pet may benefit from, like walking paths or a washing station?

  • Do they organize activities geared towards pets?

Where you move matters. Some communities simply accommodate pets and pet owners more completely than others. Find a pet-friendly apartment to increase your chance of a positive experience for you and your four-legged family members.

Packing Strategies To Protect Your Pet’s Mental Health

Cats are known for being adverse to change, and dogs don’t necessarily enjoy it either. This is wise to remember when you pack. Consider putting pets in a familiar place that you can go through last. On moving day, try isolating them in a room and shut the door to limit the noise. Even better, bring them to a familiar family member’s or friend’s house for the day. When taking boxes to your moving van, you don’t want a frantic animal running about.

Familiarize Your Furry Friends With Carriers and Crates

How long has it been since your cat was last in a carrier or your canine in a crate? If it’s been a while, you should try to refamiliarize them prior to your move. Give yourself a month or longer to complete this. Utilize these animal haulers in your current home. You might even take your furry friends on a brief drive. Of course, a little encouragement with their preferred treats also can help. The more they become accustomed to the transports, the more prepared they’ll be for your move.
