Move to a new home turns your pet’s familiar world upside down, it can be stressful, to say the least. What’s worse for pets than moving to a new home, however, is being relinquished to a shelter instead of moving with their owners.
Twenty-nine percent of cat owners and 19 percent of dog owners said they had to give up their pet because they were moving to a new home or apartment.
While there are some cases when a move necessitates finding a new home for your pet, in most cases you can easily take your pet with you if you plan far enough in advance (which is my recommendation!).
This is why the first “rule” of moving with pets is to make sure the home you’re moving to allows pets. Some homeowners’ associations and landlords have limits on the number, size and type of pets allowed, so do your research ahead of time and choose a home that is pet friendly.
