PHASE A: HOW TO PREPARE YOUR DOG TO MOVE HOUSE ΜΕΤΑΚΟΜΙΣΕΙΣ ΑΘΗΝΑ?
For a dog, the moving process is similar to the one they go through when they first come home. So it requires the same patience, care and affection. There is something that is essential to understand. The place you are leaving for μετακομισεις αθηνα is not only your home but also your territory.
To ease the transition we must:
• Keep your dog’s routine to the fullest and better than ever. Daily walks at the same time are vital.
• Prepare the means of transport Leader Removals where you will travel and get used to the use of a transporter.
• Carry out a general health examination.
• Make a name tag with the address of the new house.
• Do not wash your dog’s objects μετακομισεις αθηνα, but move them intact to the new home. So you preserve important scents for him.
- You do not have to change or renew your bed, blanket and/or house
A great idea is to take him for a few walks around the new house before you move in, so he’ll begin to identify the new space and mark it with his scent. Also, increasing your interaction with him will make this change easier and faster.
PHASE B: HOW TO ACT AND WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DOG ON MOVING DAY?
The best thing will be to get your pet away from all the chaos. Plan the day’s routine very well and take your dog to a dog daycare. Or spend the day with friends or relatives before the moving company truck arrives and you start emptying the house. Remember that with the moving truck (μετακομισεις αθηνα), strangers will arrive. They will take everything they find in “their” territory, which could be quite a stressful experience for your dog.
When you leave your dog, be sure to bring his favorite toy, his bed or blanket, and some clothing of yours. Preferably a t-shirt that you slept in the night before and that is impregnated with your scent. Best if it is your natural scent, not perfume or lotion. All of this will help reduce separation anxiety.
At the end of the move and before your dog arrives at the new house, hide his favorite treats. Place them among the boxes and corners of the new home. The ideal is that you go for your dog until the move is over and everyone is calm at home. When your dog arrives from Leader Removals home, let him smell all the boxes. Go through the whole house and entertain himself looking for the prizes that you previously hid. This will make your first experience in the new venue enjoyable and fun. Praise and encourage him constantly.
PHASE C: HOW TO HELP YOUR DOG ADJUST TO ITS NEW HOME ΜΕΤΑΚΟΜΙΣΕΙΣ ΑΘΗΝΑ?
Well, the move is over. And now? We must help our pet to adapt to the new house as soon as possible! To do this, we recommend following these practical tips:
Regarding the new home:
• Allows him to explore the new house (position of old or new furniture, stairs, rooms, bathrooms, garden).
• Assign rules and spaces where your dog can be.
• Prepare the place where he will sleep, it must be comfortable, warm and safe (choose a place with little traffic but from where your dog can hear the family. This will prevent him from feeling alone and insecure).
• Establishes the correct place for his food and water bowl, that place must be accessible to him at all times.
The most important thing is to restore your dog’s routine as soon as possible, it will be the key for him to adapt nd feel full again. It will need your attention and perseverance. In some cases, and especially when a routine is not established, the mood of dogs is seriously affected. They can fall into depression. Don’t let that happen and remember that for your dog the change is as strong and important as it is for you.
MOVING AND DOGS: BEFORE WE MOVE
TRY TO KEEP THE HOUSE IN ORDER:

MOVING AND DOGS:
MOVES AND DOGS: AFTER THE MOVE
The first days at home can be a bit overwhelming for the dog. For this reason, it is important that we try to make this adaptation a process that is not so tedious for the animal. It is essential that we can maintain the same routine that the dog had before the move. The more enriched this routine is, the greater the well-being for the animal. No matter how big the house the dog is moving into, your routine should include:
Quality walks, where the animal can smell everything it wants
Problem solving activities such as interactive toys.
Activities that relax the animal, such as chewing. We recommend giving good quality chewable dehydrated snacks.
games with us
Proper rest.
On the other hand, we will have to make sure that the dog has the same available areas that it had in its previous home: rest area, eating area, area to relieve itself in the event that it did so inside the house. Sudden changes can generate emotional imbalances in dogs, for which we have to know that we must be patient in the process of adaptation to the new home. If in doubt about how to proceed, it is advisable to contact a professional canine behavior.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOVES AND DOGS
Search on Google Maps what squares and parks are near the new house
Search on Google Maps which vets and 24-hour veterinary hospitals are near the new house.
Walk around the neighborhood, without a dog, to find out which paths may be more pleasant to walk next to it (look for areas without much noise, not very busy, etc.)
Remember that moving and dogs can be a really stressful and overwhelming combination if we don’t take the necessary precautions
