Pets Behaviour

First of all, start by looking at the move from your pet's point of view. Their current home is more than their home — it's their territory. Cats, especially, are very sensitive and prefer to be in a familiar environment. Dogs tend to adjust much more easily to moves than cats. That's because new puppy owners are encouraged to socialize their puppy to get him used to new people, new smells and other dogs. So from the time they're young, dogs are out and about.

For pets, sticking to the routine after the move is very important. Maintaining the same schedule for treats, grooming and bedtime will help your pets acclimate even more quickly. And walking your dog at the same time each day will also help him transition into his new home.

The needs of most pets are fairly simple and predictable. pets need to be well fed and watered. Dogs need play and exercise. pets need attention and love.All animals need to be part of a family, your family. Depending on what breed of pet you have, you can also expect to encounter breed specific behaviours. Obvious examples are terriers that were bred to dig and chase game, and hounds being able to sniff out even the weakest scents. These behaviours have been bred into particular breeds on purpose by humans. Those breeds that did not exhibit desired characteristics were not allowed to reproduce. Some of the behaviours that were originally bred into certain breeds and are now hardwired, are no longer attractive qualities for us humans.
