California Bound: Moving With Your Dog


California Bound: Moving With Your Dog

By psdadmin, 



It doesn’t matter what time of year you choose to move, relocating with Rover is always a chore. Thankfully, Southern California has all the amenities to make your dog-loving family’s move as
stress-free as possible. But first, a few tips on getting there with a reluctant lab or pouty poodle.
Know the new neighborhood. When you’re moving with dogs, you should know the subtle nuances of your new homestead before you cross the threshold. Take a quick look at Google Maps to determine if you have a safe path for your evening walk. While you’re on your virtual stroll, pay attention to whether or not homes within a half mile range are fenced – this can give
you a good indication on whether you’re likely to run into a free-range Fido.
Vet. Check. Veterinary care is essential to the health and well-being of your barking best friend. Make sure you have at least three options nearby and establish a relationship with the vet team
you’re most comfortable with. Don’t forget to save the number of your nearest 24-hour clinic in case of an emergency.
Tags and bags. Don’t wait until moving day to update your dog’s tags and collars. While you’re at it, change the address and phone number on his microchip and take a current photo in case you’re separated on the road. On moving day, pack a special bag just for your dog’s favorite things, including treats and an extra set of tags.
Help for the haul. If you think moving is hard on you, consider how it must feel to your canine companion who, despite your long talks, doesn’t really know what’s going on. Focus as much attention as possible on your dog throughout the process to reassure him that things are on the up and up. Hire a professional moving company to do the packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking so you can spend your time running your fingers through Ellie’s fur without ruffling her feathers. Check out HireAHelper for reviews and pricing quotes for local moving companies.
Just a little patience. There’s a good chance that your dog won’t settle into his new surroundings as snuggly as you’d like. It will take a few days, possibly weeks, for him to feel at home once again. Be prepared for a few sleepless nights and stains on the carpet – even full-grown, house trained dogs may be inclined to mark their territory. This is completely normal.
A Zen den. Woof. Woof. Wolf. Like your dog’s feral ancestors, he is a den animal and will feel more secure when he has a place to retreat. Make sure your dog has a crate or small room available where he can get away from the hustle and bustle associated with moving. He will be safer and more comfortable and your movers will thank you for keeping him out of the way.
