Pre-Move Preparations

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

Food, water, medications, favorite toys, and a blanket.

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."
