Whenever there is moving involved,
people consider it no less than a chore that also calls for careful planning
and execution. Added to this chore, to ensure that pets too fare well calls for
extra planning which can often be stressful for all the parties involved. The
very first step in moving with a pet into a rental place is finding a pet
friendly place, which is easier said than done. It calls for more time,
organization, persuading skills and limits overall options available for
renting. However, there are certain flats on rent in Pune, which are pet friendly. Understand
that working with a pet friendly landowner is going to make the whole process
less stressful for both the tenant and the pet.
Always remember that it is best to be upfront about the
pet and one can prove about the pet’s behavior through paper work, which would
also include vaccination details. Best is if one can provide references from
past property owners, neighbors and vets, and even obedience trainers about
their positive experience with the pet involved. When booking the flat or
apartment, it is best to look for housing, which would come with fenced yard, a
neighborhood that has plenty of walking options or best a dog park. It is best
to avoid renting homes that are on heavily trafficked roads.
Moving in with pets
Moving with pets isn’t always as easy as a walk in the
park. As with kids multiple things needs to be considered before boarding the
plane or car to head to your next destination. Depending on the distance, there
may be the need of a pet carrier for the transportation of the pet. If that is
the case, the pet should be comfortable travelling in that, therefore ensure
that the pet is calm about the fact. This also avoids trauma for the pet.
If there is plane travelling involved, it is best to
double check on the travel policies of the airline services. Restrictions and
conditions should also be checked before making any reservations. If needed be,
the vet can be consulted to provide sedatives for more comfortable travel. The
cat or the dog should also be groomed before the trip.
Once these preparations have been taken, on the moving
day, it might be stressful for everyone involved and pets being pets pick up on
the high levels of energy in the air. Therefore, it is best to keep calm and
stick to the normal routine, not changing any voice or body language in any
form. Affection and praise assures the pet that nothing bad is happening or
going to happen. Supply the pet with food, water, favorite toy and the crate if
there is one.
Once the pet has arrived, despite allowance of pets in metropolitan cities where flats on rent in Pune, Mumbai and Gurgaon getting used to a new area can be unsettling and
disturbing. Wait and restrict the pet in one room till everything has moved in
and there can be some form of order which is beginning to settle down. Once the
pet has arrived, ensure to keep everything ready on their arrival, food, water
and favorite toys.
Once this has been done, the pet can be released to
explore. Familiarity through food, water bowls and favorite toys will help
settle down. Begin arranging for the pet also when arranging your rented
house. Thoughtful preparation can make the experience better for both the pet and
family members.
