Moving is stressful, especially for pets who don’t understand what’s going on and have to experience big changes. So, here are some tips and strategies for making moving easier for everyone, especially your furry friend.

How to Make Moving Less Stressful for Dogs


With the right moving plan, you can make the process as easy on your pet as possible, and before you know it, they’ll love their new digs.


Keep Calm While Packing


The simple act of packing up all of your belongings can be stressful for your dog.


  • You can work on creating a positive association by packing while your dog enjoys a snack or plays with a favorite toy. Or, you might instead put them in a quiet room with their favorite things and some calming music playing for them.  


  • Leave your dog’s things where they are for as long as you can, while also maintaining their normal daily routine.  


  • The important thing is to stay calm and maintain a positive state of mind while you’re in the process of packing. Sure, it’s stressful, but consider that your dog can pick up on your emotions, and if you’re frazzled or angry, they might start feeling anxious, too.


  • If possible, move your dog’s things last so they’ll have those comforting objects with them until you’re ready to complete the move.


Make the Move Comfortable for Your Dog


When it’s time to ride to your new home, make it as comfortable as possible, especially if you’re traveling a long distance.


  • You might opt to leave your dog with a trusted family member, friend, or pet sitter so they won’t be in the middle of the commotion on moving day, especially if you have movers going in and out of your place or your dog might get scared and run out the door.


  • Before heading out, confirm that your dog is wearing their ID tags with your contact details, in case they get loose.


  • If driving, put your dog in the car after you’ve packed everything else. Then, during the trip, take breaks to let your pooch stretch their legs and have some water and food.


  • If your dog is very anxious, talk to your veterinarian about anti-anxiety medications or natural remedies that may help. A blanket with familiar smells may also be helpful in keeping your dog at ease.  


  • Ensure your pet’s safety during the ride by using products like a car seat, harness, seat cover, large carrier, or crate. Have a pet first aid kit on hand as well, in case of an emergency.


  • Before, during, and after the move, you can use calming products like the ThunderShirt Breeze for Dogs if your pet is okay with wearing it. This product applies a bit of pressure on your dog’s body, helping to ease fear and anxiety, and it features breathable fabric for more comfort.
  • Another option is the ThunderEase for Dogs Calming Collar, which may be better for dogs who aren’t comfortable wearing jackets or vests. It works by releasing canine pheromones that help reduce your pet’s stress naturally.

Prep Your New Home, Then Let Your Dog Explore


Before moving your dog into your new home, pet-proof it and ensure they won’t have access to anything potentially harmful or dangerous.


  • Walk through the rooms with your pet, letting them sniff and check out the new place, recognizing the familiar items and furniture you brought from your old home. You can give them treats along the way to make it a positive experience.  


  • Set up your dog’s food station, toy area, resting spot, etc. in advance. Then, show them where they can find everything they need.


  • If necessary for your dog’s safety and peace of mind, you can put them in a quiet, comfortable room with some of their favorite things while you finish moving in. Then, you can slowly introduce them to the rest of the house.


Restart Your Dog’s Routine


Get back into your usual routine with your dog ASAP after moving.


  • Use all of the same items your dog has been used to. Buying new beds, bowls, and more might create stress because of additional unexpected changes.


  • After exploring the inside and outside of your new house, check out your neighborhood with your pet during daily walks, and play in your backyard with your pet to get them used to the outdoor space.


  • If your dog shows concerning changes in behavior after a move and you aren’t sure how to help them, consult your veterinarian or a behaviorist for advice.


Adjusting to a New House Might Take Time


Keep in mind that moving to a new home is a big change for your whole family, including your dog, and it can take time for them to adjust. While one dog might feel fine right away, another might need a few days or weeks. It depends on the individual and the amount of change they’re experiencing.

5 Easy Tips to Make Litter Training Your Cat a Breeze

Bringing home a new cat or kitten is exciting —but one of the first things they need to learn is where to go to the bathroom. The good news? Most cats naturally prefer using a litter box, so training is usually easier than most new pet owners expect. Here are five simple tips to help make litter training smooth and stress-free.

Catch Dog Obesity Early: The Signs Owners Miss

Okay, I give up. One of my senior dogs is, well, rather portly. You see, over time Ruby's aging joints have made longer walks a struggle and burning off calories, difficult. But what further compounds the situ, is her propensity to wander around finishing off my other dogs' leftover kibble. My bad!So, I totally get that weight gain in dogs is easy to miss... or maybe just easy to explain away. It happens slowly, and by the time the extra pounds are obvious, they may already be affecting how comfortably our pets move and play.In fact, according to a 2022 Association for Pet Obesity Prevention survey, 59% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese... so not uncommon ground.But just as easy is catching the problem at the onset and taking some simple steps to guide your pet in another direction. It starts with nothing more than honestly assessing your pet's physique.Start with your their shape. A healthy adult dog should have a tapered waist that, when viewed from above and the side, is noticeably slimmer than the rest of their body. Further, their abdomen should tuck upward rather than hang down. Now, if you notice your dog's back looks broad and flat like a footstool with no waist, or that their lower belly has a bit of a paunch, odds are your dog is carrying excess weight.Next, use your hands to run along your dog's sides. You should be able to feel the ribs with a simple touch, but not so easily that you can see them from across the room. If you have to push hard to find them, or you can grab a handful of fat before your find the ribcage, that points to excess weight.And yes, veterinarians are already on top of this growing health concern, having created something called a body condition scoring system. It's a quick and easy visual guide that allows for the variations in breed size and shape, to help pet owners instantly identify when their pet is tipping the scales in an unhealthy direction.And of course, there are the behavioral cues. Does your dog still chase toys or want to walk. A dog that once enjoyed those activities may start showing less interest, sleeping more, or lying around. Even bowel movements can change. These shifts can also signal other health issues, so anything unusual is worth a conversation with your veterinarian.Do you notice excessive panting while your dog is at rest? Immediately after activity is normal, while simply resting, is not. All that extra weight strains the heart and lungs and makes it harder to push the oxygen through.Watch mobility too: a dog that stops jumping onto the couch or into the car may be struggling with the load, though arthritis and injury can cause the same thing. Low energy tends to feed a cycle, since less movement lowers fitness, which makes movement harder still. There's my Ruby!And just like we do for ourselves, weigh your pet on a regular basis. That once-a-year weigh-in at the vet isn't enough.A rule of thumb is that dogs tend to reach their full weight by roughly 18 to 24 months. After that, the number on the scale shouldn't vary much. A couple of pounds up or down is normal, but a steady upward trend deserves a little more attention and that regular trip to the scale makes it so much easier to spot the increase and make simple changes. Cutting back on treats and food volume while gentling encouraging greater acitvity is the logical step forward. Remember, you want to feed your dog based on their desired weight, not their current weight and those treats should never total more than 10% of their optimal daily caloric intake.Still not moving the number on the scale? If the weight continues to climb speak with your vet to develop a more stringent weight loss plan and to rule out possible other causes including hypothyroidism and heart disease.

Who Will Care for Your Pet if You Can't? Creating an Emergency Plan

You’ve probably had that quiet, uncomfortable thought at least once in the back of your mind: What would happen to my pets if I couldn’t make it home today? Our animals depend on us for everything, not just food and vet visits. We can’t overlook the importance of those little daily quirks and comfort routines that make their lives what they are today. Thinking about a sudden emergency, hospitalization, or worse is tough, and it’s completely normal to want to look the other way!Building an emergency care plan for your pet is an act of love that replaces uncertainty and worry with peace of mind, knowing your pets stay safe and cared for no matter what life throws your way.Before we jump into the steps: I am a writer, educator, and fellow pet parent, not an attorney, so this isn’t formal legal advice. Think of this as a practical step-by-step roadmap to help get your ducks in a row. You can always consult with a professional for formal estate planning later (and I highly recommend you do). But we all have to start somewhere…Disclosure: PetGuide may receive a small affiliate commission from purchases made via links in this article, but at no cost to you.Step 1: Choosing Your Pet’s Emergency CaregiversThe most important decision you will make when putting together your emergency plan is who brings it to life. When a crisis hits, you need to know there are people you trust and can count on to step in immediately, without hesitation.The Primary CaregiverThis is the person who will physically take in or look after your pet if you are temporarily (or permanently) unable to care for them. When considering who is the right fit for this role, look at their current lifestyle and living situation. Do they have pet-friendly housing or a secure yard (especially if you have a pup who is an escape risk)?Do they already have pets? If so, it’s a good idea to plan a meet-up long before you ever need to rely on this plan. Slow, calm introductions are the best way to set them up for a long-term stay under the same roof, and that can be difficult (or impossible) in the middle of an emergency.If your pet has separation anxiety, behavioral concerns, or a strict medication schedule, you need to ensure this person has the bandwidth and experience to handle their needs.Finally, don’t forget to consider how close they live to you. In a sudden emergency, having someone nearby who can arrive within hours can make a massive difference in minimizing your pet’s stress and ensuring they are cared for properly.The Backup CaregiverLife happens. Your primary caregiver might be traveling, dealing with their own family emergency, or facing a sudden change in their living situation when trouble strikes. Always include at least one backup or secondary person who agrees to step up and be a safety net if needed.Having the Honest ConversationNever assume a friend or relative will automatically take on your pet. Sit down with those you want to include in your emergency plan and have an open, honest, no-pressure conversation.Ask for Permission: Give them the opportunity to say no if they feel they aren’t equipped. An overwhelmed or reluctant caregiver is not going to offer the best environment for a stressed animal.Discuss the Reality of Care: Walk them through your pet’s daily routine, energy levels, diet, and any known medical expenses. You want to be sure they understand the whole picture and what's expected of them.Establish an “Immediate Response” Contact: If your primary caregiver lives an hour or more away, designate a trusted neighbor with a spare key who is willing to feed, walk, and reassure your pet in the short time until your loved one arrives. Of course, ask this neighbor in advance as well!  Putting Together the “What If” FileThink of your pet’s “What If” file as an owner’s manual for your best friend. In an emergency, a caregiver needs clear, organized information at their fingertips to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Identification Info and Important Medical RecordsMicrochip Details: Record the microchip number, the registry company, and their contact phone number. Ensure the contact information registered with the company is up to date and lists your primary caregiver as an alternate contact.Basic Identifiers: Include clear, color photos showing any distinct markings, current municipal license tags, and registration paperwork. This information will all be vital if, for any reason, your pet goes missing.Veterinary Contacts: List the names, phone numbers, and addresses for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency veterinary hospitalHealth History & Vaccinations: Keep a printed copy of current vaccination records, spay/neuter certificates, and any ongoing medical conditions.Medications & Supplements: Detail exact medication names, dosages, instructions for how to give it (e.g., “give with food”), and where they are stored in your house.Pet Insurance Information: Include policy numbers, claim submission instructions, and how to contact your insurance company/submit a claim if your pet is insured.Daily Routines and Behavioral QuirksThis is the special information that goes above and beyond the basic foundation of care for your pet. No one knows them better than you, and you want to try to keep things as “normal” as possible when they aren’t in your care. Some information to consider includes:Feeding Guidelines: Specify exact brands, portions, meal times, sensitive stomach protocols, or daily supplements. If you have a special feeding routine, break it down clearly.Behavioral Triggers and Comforts: Share what frightens your pet (thunderstorms, delivery trucks, strange dogs) and what helps settle them if they are triggered (a favorite blanket, a specific room or “safe space” setup, white noise machines).Quirks and Preferences: Note special sleeping arrangements, favorite toys, safe chew items (and items they will likely try to chew), and walking preferences (such as specific harnesses to use or routes to avoid).Where to Store Your “What If” FileKeep a physical binder or notebook in an easy-to-find location, such as near the front door or on top of your pet’s food storage bin. You can create your file from scratch or check out one of the many pet record journals available online, like the Pet Care Companion. It is also a good idea to save a digital copy in a shared cloud folder and email a PDF version directly to both your primary and backup caregivers.

Let's Keep Your Tiny Dog Physically and Mentally Healthy,

So, you’ve opted for a smaller, compact breed of dog that you can tuck under your arm or into a handbag when circumstances dictate.Now, even though you can indulge this little buddy with the very best foods and coddle them with designer duds, this furry little critter is still a dog. And as such, they need regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy as they move into adulthood and their senior years. Just like the big dogs do.But unlike the big dogs, a mini mutt needs a more intentional, dare we say curated, style of engagement.Why Your Tiny Dog Needs to Work OutTipping the scales somewhere south of 10 pounds may make you wonder why this tiny little dog needs outdoor exercise at all. Isn’t following you around the house or up and down stairs enough? The short answer is no, it’s not.Taking them outdoors helps them become comfortable with new sights, sounds, and faces. It allows them to socialize, tamp down a fear of anything unfamiliar, and thereby alleviate aggression when faced with the unknown.It also augments their daily indoor activity, helping to keep weight in check and avoid joint issues down the line. Yes, even small dog breeds can struggle with joint pain as they age.How Much Exercise Does a Tiny Dog Need?Unlike larger or highly active breeds, these small dogs (we’re talking Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese… essentially the under-10-pound crowd) don’t need multiple lengthy walks throughout the day. Nor do they require rigorous playtime that will see them bounding and leaping to snatch a frisbee out of the air.What they do need is for you to be cognizant of their limitations and craft activities and walking routes they can keep up with. And that means slower paces, shorter routes, and lots of pauses to sniff and explore.Plan to break these walks into short, 15-minute outings that you can repeat twice a day. Find a route that’s not intimidating – meaning away from heavy car or foot traffic - and that includes a little nature (grassy medians or parks) where they can sniff and explore.Now, my local leash-free park is a substantial 19 acres of forest, trails, and sandy zones. But it also has a smaller, fenced area for small or older dogs. That said, I continually run into owners with their pint-sized pooches in the main area of the park. Their rationale is that their little guy likes to interact with the big dogs. This shouldn’t be your dog’s decision. Dog parks are filled with exuberant pooches that may be running at full tilt to burn off energy. Small dogs don’t stand a chance if they get in the way. Your goal is to keep your pet exercised yet safe. So, choose wisely and never assume you can pull them out of harm’s way when the boisterous ones come charging along.If they tend to wander with little adherence to recall, invest in a leash that allows them the freedom to explore and you the ability to gather them up quickly when situations dictate.When to Choose Indoor Versus Outdoor ActivityRegardless of how cute your pooch looks in that new rain slicker and boots, weather conditions will always dictate when it’s time to forego the walk and opt for a little indoor active time.Because small dogs are vulnerable to cold and heat, you need to have a backup plan in place for when the weather isn’t cooperating. That includes plenty of pee pads as well as plush or squeaky dog toys you can toss around indoors to get your pet moving.For brachycephalic breeds such as Pekingese or Shih Tzu that will immediately have trouble breathing in hot weather, plan your walks for early morning, late evening, or not at all.Quick Tips for Walking a Tiny DogChoose a dog leash that is ultra-slim so it doesn’t sit heavily on their back or neck. Similarly, you’re looking for a lightweight dog harness that holds them securely, yet doesn’t hinder their ability to walk and explore.Engage in those walkies either before mealtimes or no sooner than one hour after meals to avoid digestive issues. Unlike larger breeds, bloat is not an issue with tiny dogs; vomiting up their dinner, however, can mean losing much-needed nutrients.Watch for signs of fatigue. Some small dogs are like the Energizer Bunny; they just keep on going. But not all minis have that level of stamina. The moment your pet starts to slow down or lag, it’s time to go home. And if home is a few blocks away, it may be time to pick up and carry that precious cargo. Tote bag optional!

How to Groom a Nervous Dog at Home: Calming Tips and the Right Tools

If reaching for a brush or nail clippers instantly sends your dog into hiding, you know how exhausting routine grooming can feel. Caring for your dog’s coat, skin, and paws is essential for their physical health, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of their emotional well-being. So, how do you handle it?Grooming doesn’t have to be a battle of wills or a stressful chore to rush through. By learning to read your dog’s body language for signs of stress, desensitizing your go-to tools, and investing in the right gear, you can turn your grooming routine into a calm, comfortable routine.Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to groom a nervous dog at home…Disclosure: PetGuide may receive a small affiliate commission from purchases made via links in this article, but at no cost to you.Why is Grooming So Stressful for Dogs?Before you can make grooming more comfortable for your pup, you need to look at the process through their eyes. Dogs don’t naturally dislike being clean or cared for; their fear usually comes from unfamiliar feelings, sensations, and restraint, or from past negative experiences.When grooming your dog triggers signs of stress, it usually comes down to four key factors:Loss of ControlIn a dog’s world, being restrained can be a major source of stress and anxiety. When we hold a dog in place to trim their nails or work through a tangle, we restrict their ability to move or control the situation. Holding a paw or gripping their collar means that they no longer have an escape route if something hurts. This is only made worse by the fact that their paws, muzzles, ears, and tails are packed with nerve endings, so they naturally guard these areas more against potential harm. But they are also the areas we tend to focus on during grooming.Sensory OverloadDogs experience the world through far more powerful senses than we do. Motorized tools like clippers, nail grinders, and high-velocity dryers make high-pitched noises that don’t generally bother us, but they are harsh and physically uncomfortable to sensitive puppy ears. Beyond the noise, they can also introduce intense vibrations that travel directly through the bones and joints of their paws and jawline.Motorized tools aren’t the only culprits. Many shampoos, detangling sprays, and ear cleaners include synthetic perfumes that can feel overwhelming for their finely tuned sense of smell.Physical DiscomfortEven with the best intentions and gentlest touch, using the wrong tools or trying to rush your grooming session to get it over with can cause real pain or discomfort. Some concerns to keep an eye out for include:Brush burn: Cheap, rigid wire bristles can scrape and scratch sensitive skinPulling and Tension: Undercoat rakes or combs pulling at mats rather than gently working them apart can pull the furPinching and Pressure: Dull nail clippers can squeeze the nail bed before cutting, causing pain even if you avoid clipping the quickStatic Shock: Dry brushing with synthetic bristles can create uncomfortable micro-shocksStress Levels Building and CompoundingDogs rarely jump straight to growling, snapping, or bolting; they almost always communicate that they are uncomfortable, anxious, or stressed out through subtle shifts in their body language long before the sense of panic sets in.In the earliest stages, an anxious dog may repeatedly lick their lips, yawn despite not being tired, or deliberately turn their head away from you, trying to avoid eye contact. If the grooming session continues without taking a break, the warning signs can escalate to “whale eye” (where the whites of their eyes become clearly visible), suddenly freezing in place, trembling, or lifting a single front paw off the ground.By learning to identify these cues, you can recognize when you need to pause and take a breather, showing them that their comfort matters and stopping stress and fear from becoming a full-blown freak-out.The Secret to Stress-Free Grooming: Slow Introductions Once you understand why your pup isn’t a fan of the grooming process, the next step is to shift that opinion. The trick is to introduce the tools and experiences slowly, building positive experiences, versus trying to restrain your pup so you can finish as quickly as possible. Sure, it may take a little longer, but your dog will be much happier. The golden rule: Progress happens at your dog’s pace, not your schedule. By using desensitization (gradually introducing each aspect of grooming) and counterconditioning (pairing each of these things with something wonderful, like your dog’s favorite treats), you can turn grooming time into something your dog may even look forward to. Step 1: Low-Pressure Introduction First, introduce the tool from a safe distance, without pressuring your dog to interact with it. Start by placing the tool (such as a brush, comb, or nail trimmer) on the floor. If it is mechanical, make sure it is powered off. Let your dog sniff and investigate it on their own terms. Each time your pup approaches the tool calmly, praise them and give them a reward. At this stage, you’re simply teaching them that the tool means good things ahead. Step 2: Movement and ProximityWhen your dog is fully comfortable just existing around the tool, pick it up and hold it calmly at your side. Move the tool slowly around in the air near them, but don’t let it make contact. You can do this while giving your dog treats, petting them, or even playing with their favorite toy. The goal is for them to feel so comfortable with the tool that they don’t mind it moving nearby. Step 3: Sound and Vibration If you are introducing a motorized tool, like a nail grinder, clippers, or a blow dryer, the next step is to introduce the sound and movement. Turn the device on across the room at its lowest setting while giving your dog plenty of high-value treats or a frozen lick mat. This is easier if you have a second person, one to hold the tool while the other focuses on giving rewards.  Gradually close that gap over multiple short sessions, only moving a step closer when your dog shows no sign of stress or concern at the current distance.Step 4: Neutral TouchBefore using the working end of any tool, start by touching your dog gently with the smooth back or handle. If this is a mechanical tool, keep it powered off at first. Every single time it touches your pup, immediately give them a treat and move the tool away. For mechanical tools, start with the tool off, then repeat the process with the tool on to account for vibrations or sound. Step 5: Mini Grooming Sessions Begin using the tool as you normally would, but keep your grooming session extremely short. For example, brush just two or three gentle strokes down their back or clip a single nail.  Follow up with a reward, then end the grooming session for the day. By ending on a positive note, your dog will not just be willing, but actively anticipating the next session.
