It is vital to think about the safety and stress of your pets whilst moving including the preparing leading up to the day. Pets sense the change and stress while boxes are being packed and their environment is changing. On moving day it can be difficult to keep the pets in the backyard with the gates opening and closing or them trying and jump around and play whilst everyone is loading boxes to the car or truck. Pet boarding and pet transport companies are a way of having a piece of mind knowing your little friend is looked after whilst you move or are in temporary accommodation.
It may be less stressful for the pet and owner to arrange to drop the pets off at a pet boarding facility a day or two before the big move. If they have frequented the place previously when you have gone on holidays, it will appear to be a familiar environment.
