Moving with Pets: Making the Transition Easier for Your Furry Friends with Trade My Home

Moving with pets can be challenging for adults, kids, and especially your animals in San Jose. We know that pets are sensitive to changes in their environment. They might not understand what's happening but feel the family's stress. Since animals love routine, sudden changes can confuse them.

When pets see boxes piling up and their humans packing, they may worry. Pets, like us, can misbehave when they're stressed. That's why we need to help them feel safe during the move. We aim to make moving with pets as smooth as possible for you and your furry friends.

We've gathered helpful tips from experts that any pet owner can easily follow to assist you. We've compiled them into a FREE special report titled “Pet Owners—Tips to Making Your Move Easier on Your Pets.”

Here are some quick tips to get you started:

1. Maintain a Routine: Keep your pets' feeding and walking schedule consistent. This helps reduce their anxiety during the moving process. Sticking to their routine provides a sense of normalcy even when things get hectic.
2. Prepare a Safe Space: Set up a quiet area where your pets can retreat while you pack. Include their favorite toys and bedding to make them feel secure. This space serves as a sanctuary away from the chaos of moving.
3. Introduce the New Home Gradually: Before the move, take your pets to the new home. Let them explore and get familiar with the new surroundings. This eases their transition and reduces stress on moving days.
4. Update Pet IDs and Microchips: Ensure your pets' identification tags and microchip information are updated with your new address and contact details. This is crucial in case they wander off during the move.
5. Plan for Moving Day: Consider having your pets stay with a friend or at a pet daycare on a moving day. This keeps them safe and reduces their stress during the hectic process. It also prevents them from getting underfoot or escaping through open doors.
6. Pack Pet Essentials Separately: Prepare a bag with your pets' essentials—food, water, medications, toys, and anything else they might need. Keep this with you during the move so you can access it easily.
7. Keep Calm and Positive: Pets pick up on our emotions. By staying calm and positive, you help your pets feel more at ease. Offer them plenty of reassurance and affection throughout the process.
