Does moving home stress a dog out too!

That is a great suggestion. I would do that and just keep him or her with you as much as possible.

I have quite a many pet from ferrets to dogs, a cat and a fish. I can tell you from experience that MOVING an animal is a stresser on you - but it also can stress out the animals. You may wind up with issues of your pets using your new abode for their potty.

my little yorkie was fine when we moved - found the whole thing very exciting

It's good to hear that your move went fine, if the garden is bigger then I wouldn't imagine they'd be complaining - they may even find some buried dog treats from a previous resident!

Moving to a brand new house is stressful for anybody but for a dog particularly an older dog this may cause a major tension for him

The move will stress your dog out, makesure you give him plenty of attention and lots of walks in the new park!

I have two dogs and both of them have come to us from new homes, so on reflection I would say that to be honest I don't think it would affect them. If new surroundings were a problem, my dogs haven't been impacted.

Your pet can sense when you or your family are stressed and this may unsettle them too, but lots of attention will reassure your pet and they will soon settle into the new environment.

I agree with the last poster. The best thing to do as well is to make sure that you only let the dog out of a room when the moving hubbard has died down. Wait until a really quiet chilled out time and then let him have a sniff around and then a walk.

how did this go? Was your dog okay?
