Pets pick up on stress, so planning helps keep them calm on moving day.
Before the move, visit the vet for updated records and microchip info. Pack a pet essentials kit: food, water, leash, litter, medications, favorite toys, and bedding. If possible, arrange for a friend, sitter, or boarding the day of the move so your pet isn’t underfoot while Right Side Up Movers works in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
On moving day, keep pets in a quiet, secure room with familiar items, or take them out for exercise. For cats, a carrier with a cozy blanket is safest; for dogs, a calm walk and safe crate can reduce anxiety. Label the crate with name, phone number, and destination information.
During loading and transit, ensure pets are in secure carriers or travel-safe crates. If you’re moving long distance, plan frequent stops, hydration, and potty breaks. Upon arrival in Winnipeg, set up a dedicated space with familiar smells and items to help pets adjust.
Introduce new spaces gradually and maintain routine. Right Side Up Movers respects pets and can coordinate move timing to minimize disruption.
