If you have a pet, it is important to also worry about their adaptation to the new home. Dogs and cats are usually sensitive to routine breakdown, and when this happens, the most common reactions are frequent heartbeats and tearing, unexpected bites and scratches, and even urination outside the trained site.
For change to occur without major trauma and interference, some tips are valuable. You’ll just need planning, patience, and of course much affection for your best friend. The first thing to do is to prevent the animal from going through the stress of the first day of the home exchange. Generally, this enters and leaves furniture and people, end up affecting the mood of the beast. Ideally, if possible, leave it at the house of a friend or relative.
Another important point: plan the change so that you can take the maximum amount of time to observe your pet. For example, on Friday: so you have the weekend to follow the whole adaptation. Always keep your pet’s routine. If you take him for walks, keep the ride at the same time and in the same amount of times. Also avoid changing your food and toys during this period of adaptation.
In the case of cats, it is necessary to emphasize that; above all, the protection screens must already be installed in the new residence so that the animal is then led home. After this, as cats have controlling personality; gradually introduce the rooms of the house. He needs to stay long enough in one place until he gets used to it. As soon as the pussy creates identification, introduce the other rooms of the residence. Cats are explorers and the tendency is that, in a few weeks, the pussy is completely integrated with the new routine.
As for dogs, it is worth noting an essential tip when there is significant change in the size of the new residence. If before the animal lived in a small space and now lives in a house with yard, do not think that letting it loose will be cause for joy. Often, the dog understands this behavior as abandonment. So that this does not occur, play with it in the new space so that it can understand the experience as something positive. If the new home is smaller, take more time to take it for a walk on the streets of the neighborhood.
Lastly, to avoid the so feared peeps out of place, the best thing to do is to spread the odors around the house. As? Play using your pet’s favorite toys so that little by little he gets accustomed to the new environment and feels safer and more comfortable. In some cases, it is worthwhile to apply canine or feline pheromones to the urine. The rule ends up being the same as when they were babies: if you peed in the wrong place, the owner needs to correct and point the right way.
