Having 5 large dogs, moving quickly became an adventure. Leaving them to a new home or giving these pups up was not something I could do, as they were part of the family. A truck rental was the solution to this problem. Seeing how much I learned throughout the process, I realize now that the everyday consumer really does not know much about moving options and how moving with pets can be easy. It is this reason that we wanted to share our experiences.
Planning
The first thing we learned was that no one can move themselves, let alone pets, without a well organized plan. The best place to start is by looking at the options that are open. Moving options include hiring professionals, renting a truck rental, or using a portable crate. Dog owners know that strange smells are something that dogs really do not like. For this reason, the least intrusive method to use is a self service method such as a rental from a truck rental place. Doing this will put you in control of the speed of the move as well as the new smells that end up in your home.
Packing
Many moving companies will come into your home to pack, but they may not know what things you will need to keep out for you and your pets. They will also bring different smells into the home, so avoiding this should be at the top of your list. You will be able to spend lots of time with your pet by packing at your own speed, yet you will still be able to stay on schedule. This little step can help you prevent problems that you might have with behavior later on.
Moving Day
Moving day is going to be hectic, especially if you have lots of people involved helping you move. Moving yourself will allow you to keep this to a minimum. It will also give you the knowledge of which room to keep your animals in while the doors to the home are open to the outside. If you and your family are packing and loading on moving day, there is no way for a stranger to accidentally open the room that you have your dogs in. As you can tell, this can help avoid long searches for pets that have suddenly found themselves in the freedom of the outside world.
No matter where you are moving, it is important to keep these very important tips in mind. You should also consider the safety of your pet in the process, and avoid letting them ride in the rear of the truck rental. This can be fatal as the temperatures in the back of the truck can reach a variety of extremes, no matter how nice of a day it is outside.
