Make Moving Easier Complete Guide - Make Moving with Pets Easier | Page 12

Moving tops the list of stressful events in a person’s life and it can be stressful
for pets, too. It may even be more stressful for some pets, because they don’t
know why everything is changing. However, don’t fret! Here are seven things
to do when moving to help make the transition as smooth as possible for your
pet.
1. CONSIDER YOUR PET’S NEEDS WHEN CHOOSING A HOME
When deciding you are ready to move and looking for your next home, make a
list of the things you need for your pet. For example, maybe you want a front
and back yard, a park nearby, or a fence around the home. Show this list to
your real estate agent so he or she can find homes that match your criteria.
Ensuring your pet has the space they need will create a happier life for you
and your pet.
Interestingly, according to a 2018 Realtor.com survey, 79% of millennial
home-buying pet owners who bought property, said they would turn down an
otherwise perfect home if it didn’t meet the needs of their pet(s).
