Helping Your Dog Settle After Moving House
Gentle strategies to support your dog through the upheaval of a house move.
Why Moves Can Be Stressful
Dogs thrive on routine so changes to environment and smells can feel overwhelming. Gradual introductions help ease the transition.
First Few Days at Home
- Keep familiar bedding and toys accessible
- Establish a quiet safe space
- Maintain similar walking and feeding times
Rebuilding Confidence
Short, positive outings around the new neighbourhood can help your dog feel more secure.
Always speak to your vet if signs of stress persist beyond a few weeks.
Long-Term Support
Continue consistent routines and offer plenty of calm reassurance.
