How to Make Moving to Florida With Your Pets a Breeze

Florida may be the Sunshine State, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less stressful than the other 49 states when relocating. Between finding new employment and figuring out where you’re going to live, moving from another state can be frustrating and challenging — especially if you have a pet that requires your attention. For those moving to Florida with their furry friends in tow, here are some tips and advice to make the process smoother.

Considerations When Moving Pets

​If you're hiring professional movers, find out whether they're comfortable and experienced with moving pets. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations on pet-friendly movers in Hartford and for tips on keeping your pet safe during the move. If you're driving to your new home, ensure you take plenty of breaks so your pet can stretch its legs and use the restroom. Once you arrive at your new home, take some time to pet-proof the house before letting your furry friend loose.

Preparing Your Cat for the Move

The first step is to get your cat used to their carrier; it will be their home during the move, so they must be comfortable in it. Put their pet crate in a central location in your home and leave the door open so they can explore it and get used to it. You may also want to put some of their favorite toys or treats inside to make it more inviting.
Preparing Your Dog for the Move

If you're moving to Florida from Hartford, there are a few things you'll need to do to prepare your dog for the trip. First, make sure your dog is up-to-date on all their vaccinations. You'll also want to get them microchipped in case they get lost during the move. Get them used to car rides, as they'll likely spend lots of time in the car during the move.

Tips on How To Make It Easier for Your Pet To Adjust

Start by pet-proofing your new home before your pet arrives — this will help cut stress for you and your pet. Get your pet acclimated to their new surroundings by taking them on short walks around the neighborhood or visiting local parks. Try to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their previous home in Hartford, as this will help them feel more comfortable and secure.

Purchasing Pet Insurance

Before you move, it's crucial to buy pet insurance. Insurance will help you financially if your pet becomes ill or injured en route or after you've settled into your new home. But it can be hard to decide what's the best Florida pet insurance, so be sure to review sample quotes and customer reviews before choosing pet insurance. Consider the coverage level, deductibles, premiums, and pet age covered.

A Happy New Home

​Moving to Florida with your pets doesn't have to be stressful. Be sure to plan, find a pet-friendly home, purchase pet insurance, and help your furry friends settle into your new surroundings.
