When moving into Weston luxury homes or any of the number of homes for sale in Weston, you may be feeling the stress. Moving is one of the most stressful events in people’s lives. What’s stressful for people are often stressful for pets?
Pets normally are quite intuitive, and will pick up on all the tension that naturally goes along with change. If you are closing on Weston luxury homes and will be moving soon, the best way to make the move as stress-free as possible for your pet is to preplan.
Planning ahead of time will give you peace of mind, and your pet will feel better about the move. PetRelocation.com has listed three of the most important considerations when moving a pet.
- Travel Crate is Essential: A crate is critical when traveling with a pet. It will be your pet’s safe place. Think of it as a home for your pet, not a jail cell. Whether you are traveling by air or by car, the pet’s crate will be his home away from home during your travels. It’s important that your pet is familiar with the crate and feels comfortable being in it before moving day. Experts recommend you buy and start getting your pet used to the travel crate once you’ve closed on your Weston luxury home. By doing this well in advance, the move will be much less stressful for your pet. If you have the time and inclination, you might also want to check with your local pet stores to see if they are offering any crate training classes.
- Fly Your Pet in Class: Flying makes a lot of people a bit nervous, so can you imagine what it must be like for your pet? Not knowing what’s going on and then being placed into the cargo area of the plane or even under the seat in the cabin is a new and strange adventure for your pet. If at all possible, try and upgrade your pet’s accommodations arranging for “first-class” accommodations if the airline offers them. Climate-controlled conditions is a must. Ask the airline the specifics on its pet accommodations in its cargo area if they must fly in that section because of size or other restriction. Otherwise, if at all possible, take your pet on board with you.
- Don’t Forget Health Certificate: If your move will be taking you and your pet across international borders or state lines, you will need to have a health certificate. Normally, these need to be done a week before the flight.
