Planning and preparation are very important to ensure that your cat will experience a smoother transition from your old home to the new one. Once you have finalized your moving plans, you need to pack and prepare in advance to get your cat used to the changes. If your pet is an indoor cat, you need to take him outside and gradually expose him to new surroundings. Taking him on car rides will also help him get used to being in a moving vehicle. Regular exposure will prepare your cat for the new sounds, new surroundings, and new activities during and after your move. If you choose not have your cat fitted with a microchip, he should have an identification tag fitted snugly around its neck.

A visit to your Glendale, AZ vet clinic should be on top of your to-do list when preparing to move to a new home.
