Moving Tips
Moving with pets
Those who have pets will agree that they are considered as extended members of the family. That's why when moving day arrives, one needs to ensure that their pets are safe and prepared for moving into a new home. Just like humans, cats and dogs can also go through a level of frustration and stress on moving day since it’s hard for them to adjust to a new location. Sometimes because of insecurities and fear you may notice your pets running away or even trying to hide as soon as the movers arrive and start the moving process.
This is perfectly normal but to prevent your pet from running away and getting lost in the neighborhood it would be best if you were to lock them up in one of your rooms at least until you are ready to move. Let everyone including the movers and your friends know that the pet is locked away in a room. You can even take things further by making a sign that warns about keeping the door closed where the pet is held.
As soon as your packing job is completed, safely place your cat or dog in the pet carrier for transporting in your car. You can put one of your pets’ favorite toy or blanket in the carrier as well so that it can bring him comfort which would ultimately help him to make the transition to the new home. For those moving long distance you may have to travel by plane to get there especially if driving to your destination is not an option. If this is the case then choose a direct flight as opposed to a transfer flight. As soon as you get to the new home remove your pet from the carrier and walk him around the premises and indoors so that he can get better acquainted with his new surroundings.
Even if you do not own cats or dogs but have small animals and fish here are a few suggestions on how to move pets to your new home. For owners of rabbits and hamsters these animals should be placed in a cage before you put them in the car. As you drive remember to keep the temperature at a reasonable level so that the animals are never too hot or cold. Moving experts would also tell you to keep the cage covered with a dark cloth since that has proven to minimize the stress caused by moving.
For the fish owner, you can transport your fish in a bag of water that you have taken from the aquarium and place it in a bucket in your vehicle. When you get to the new location and have set up the aquarium, release some of the water from the bag so it can mix with the new water in the aquarium. By doing this your fish would be able to adapt to the change in the water. Even if you are fearful that you would not do a good job of moving your fish to the new place, then you should try sourcing companies that can get the job done for you.

Moving Tip
Don't Trust your most
important valuables to the moving company. Keep them with you when ever possible.
take them in the car or on the plane. And remember to think about what is really valuable, sometimes a simple piece of paper might be

documents
