Moving time can be stressful for you and your family. The upside is, at least you know what's going on. Your family's dog, on the other hand, may be just plain bewildered. Fortunately, there's a lot you can do to help your pup adjust to his new surroundings. Here a few tips to make things easier:
Setting aside some time to allow your dog to get familiar with the new neighborhood is a great way to help him feel less anxious.
Your pup may be really confused about his new digs. Make him feel comfortable by taking care of his needs as soon as you arrive. First, make sure your dog's eating area is established and that he knows where it's located. Equally important is that your dog's bedding, toys and favorite items are put in a quiet corner and ready when he wants to use them.
If you're new to the neighborhood, stop in to the Lodge at Intermountain Pet Hospital to check out our dog boarding facilities and holistic veterinarian services. We'd love to meet you and your pup!
