Pre-Move Preparations

Visit the Vet

Comprehensive check-up, update vaccinations, and obtain a health certificate if needed.

Moving Day Tips

Important Tip

Stay calm, as pets can sense their owners' stress. Your calmness helps soothe them.

  • Safe and Familiar Space: Designate a quiet room for your pet with their familiar items during the moving chaos.
  • Avoid Feeding Right Before Travel: A light meal 2-3 hours before travel to reduce motion sickness.
  • Transport in Air-Conditioned Vehicle: Especially in Jeddah's hot climate, to ensure pet comfort.
  • Never Leave Pet Alone in Vehicle: Even for a few minutes, to avoid heatstroke or suffocation.

Settling into the New Home

Gradual Exploration of New Home

Start with one room, then gradually allow exploration of the rest of the house.

Maintain Usual Routine

Feeding times, walks, and playtime as much as possible.

Provide Safe Hiding Spots

Especially for cats, to help them feel secure.

Patience and Extra Attention

Your pet may need some time to adjust to the new environment.

"Remember that moving can be stressful for pets. Patience, understanding, and extra attention are key to helping them adapt smoothly to their new home."
