After the move, it is important to keep the food and water bowl in the same rooms as the former location. IE: if the food bowl was in the kitchen near the trash can. If possible place it in the new kitchen near the trash can too. For a closing gift, I give the pet new ID tags with the new address & phone number. I ask the owner to put them on the day of the move. If the pet gets out of the new fenced back yard, it might not know its way home. I love the animals- Your pet gets stressed the same as you do when change happens especially when moving.

The pet will likely get scared by all of the commotion outside that it cannot see and inevidably someone will have to use the restroom and the minute that door is opened, the scared pet will bolt out. It would be far better to either crate your pet with the crate in a quiet room or even better, take it to a boarding or daycare facility that the pet is already familiar with.
