Pets may be fabulous company, but they need special consideration when you are moving.

Viewers or estate agents may not be animal lovers so:-

• Find out whether they are, or if they’re allergic.
• Clean up all dog mess, including hairs
• Mask pet smells
• Move pets out if possible, to the car, out for a walk or kennels if required

 Consider their needs when the moving day arrives:

• Dogs and cats can get quite stressed.  Send them to kennels or to a familiar person for a few days.
• Leave small pets in a quiet place.

When the move is over:-

• Show them rooms they are allowed in, and their new bed
• Get back into your old daily routine as soon as possible
• Walk them on a lead until familiar with the area
• Make sure the garden is secure
• Change the details on identity tags
• If not micro-chipped get that done.
