Stressing Out Your Pets While Moving

By Sharonne Penickata


If you're a animal owner, you are aware that your pets experience lots of the same emotions that people do. When you begin packing the house, your pets will take notice of your odd behavior. As you get more stressed because of the impending move and all you need to work out with moving quotes and other details, your pets will start to act oddly. You have to be prepared to handle this erratic behavior, and understand where it's originating from.

What gives your pets a feeling of comfort is the fact your house is a spot that's likely to be in in certain manner. Your dog realizes that when they enter into this room, they can find table scraps there will be freshwater to drink. If this get into that room, you will have a soft bed or couch for them to abuse, and if they follow you into that room over there, they are able to watch as their humans submerge themselves in water. Life is predictable.

But if you start packing up to move, life ceases to be predictable by any means. Out of the blue, those comfortable extra blankets that the cat likes to sleep on are increasingly being shoved in boxes, as well as the landscape starts changing on a regular basis. Preferred sleeping places become piled down with boxes stacked really at high level that your dog can't see the top of them. There is a lot of chaos in the house, things being moved around, people planning and out, and strangers invading to look around at everything.

While all of these changes are going on, your dog has taken notice. As dvd's and books become empty shelves, your pet will start to realize that something very strange is being conducted, so when you begin taking these boxes out from the home, your pet will become stressed. Not only is their own environment, the place where they feel comfortable and confident, changing fast, the good news is their human is taking things out from the home too.

During this period, your dog may begin to act erratically. Cats and dogs can be clingy during the packing process, jumping into boxes together with your items or hoping to get you to be more conscious of them. Other pets can start acting out, with cats tagging your ankle when you walk past, or fights breaking out over food supplies. Some state that your animals are involved they could be left out, although some debate that they're just frightened by all of the commotion.

Whatever the situation may be, spend a little bit more time together with your pet to calm them down. Enable your pet know that, even while the moving companies are arriving to haul your belongings off, they are still an important part of your lifetime. Make sure to be patient with their odd behavior in this stressful time, and realize that they are going to return to their normal selves once you reach your new home.
