It is necessary
- - "Stop stress";
- - veterinary medicine against motion sickness.
Instructions
Step 1
The animals are pretty conservative. They prefer to live within their clearly defined territory and adhere to their usual daily routine. Moving is stressful for your pet, and older dogs endure the change of scenery more difficult than young ones. But you can help the pet.
Step 2
If you are moving to a new apartment in your city, take your dog to your new place of residence a couple of times. Take a walk in the surrounding squares, let your dog explore street intersections, explore local parks and sniff marks left by other animals. After the move, when you go out with your pet for a walk, he will feel much more confident in the new place.
Step 3
Check with the current owners of the apartment if there is an opportunity to come to visit them with a dog. Let the animal explore the house, walk through all the rooms, find out where the kitchen is, where you can beg for a treat. If the current tenants do not have a dog's house, your pet will get used to it much faster, otherwise it will think for some time that it has occupied someone else's territory, or that it has a competitor.
Step 4
Sometimes it is necessary to move the dog to a new place of residence in another city or country. In this case, you will not have the opportunity to introduce the dog to his new home in advance. Take along items that belong to your pet - bedding, bowls for food and water, toys. Of course, this will not save the dog from worries, but at least he will have his place in an unfamiliar apartment.
Step 5
The road itself can also cause a lot of disturbance to the dog. The more the dog has experience of traveling in a train, plane or car, the easier it will be for him to withstand the path. If your dog has not traveled with you before, purchase a carrier in advance and train him to be in it. Place a comfortable bed in there, or give your dog a toy or treat. If the pet begins to perceive the carrier as a safe place, it will be easier for him to move the road. Also, shortly before the trip, you can start giving the animal "Stop Stress". Some dogs get seasick on the road, so it is worth getting a veterinary medicine for seasickness.
Step 6
The dog will not immediately begin to perceive the new home as his home. The first days she can try to escape in order to return to her former place of residence. Often during the move, people are busy with the hassle of transporting things, and may temporarily lose sight of their pet. Try to prevent this, watch the dog, do not leave the front doors open.
