Posted on 29/04/2024



Introduction



Moving to a new house or decluttering your current one can be a daunting and overwhelming process. From packing up belongings to organizing and purging unwanted items, there is a lot to consider. But what about our furry friends? Our four-legged companions also need to adjust to these changes and it's important to make room for them during this time. In this article, we'll discuss the steps you can take to include your pets in the house clearing process and ensure they have a smooth transition.

Including Pets in the Planning Stage



Before diving into the actual clearing process, it's essential to involve your pets in the planning stage. This will help them understand what is happening and feel less anxious. If possible, try to stick to your pet's routine as much as possible during this time. This includes feeding times, playtime, and walks. If there are major changes expected, such as moving to a new home, start making these changes gradually so that your pet can get used to the new schedule.

Creating A Comfortable Environment



Pets thrive on familiarity and it's important to create a comfortable environment for them during the house clearing process. If you're decluttering your current home, designate a specific room or area where your pet can relax while you work. Make sure they have access to food, water, and their favorite toys. For a smoother transition when moving, bring familiar items from their current living space into the new home. This could include their bed, toys, and blankets.

Minimizing Stress During Moving Day



Moving day can be chaotic for both humans and pets alike. To minimize stress for your furry friend, try to keep them in a quiet and secure area away from all the hustle and bustle. This could be in their crate or in a separate room with familiar items. Be sure to check on them frequently and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day.

Pros of Including Your Pets in a House Clearing



- It helps maintain a sense of normalcy for your pet during a time of change
- It reduces stress and anxiety for your pet
- It strengthens the bond between you and your furry friend
- It ensures their safety during the clearing process

Cons of Including Your Pets in a House Clearing



- It may require more time and effort to involve your pet in the process
- Some pets may struggle with change and may become anxious or disruptive
- There may be an increase in costs, such as boarding or pet-sitting services, if you are unable to care for your pet during the house clearing

Tips for a Smooth Transition



1. Stick to your pet's routine as much as possible.
2. Consider hiring a pet-sitter or boarding service on moving day to reduce stress.
3. Don't make any major changes, such as switching food or litter brands, during this time.
4. If possible, set up your pet's belongings in their designated space before bringing them into the new home.
5. Give your pet plenty of love and attention throughout the process.
