Estate Planning can Protect Beloved Pets

Estate Planning for your pets.

Moving homes can be as stressful for your pets as it is for you. Imagine, in their eyes, their whole world is changing. 🐾✨ In my pursuit to specialize in real estate – particularly when it comes to assisting seniors and managing estate and power of sales – I've discovered an overlooked aspect of the moving process: ensuring our furry friends are comfortable. Here are some tail-wagging tips for a smooth transition: 1. Keep Their Routine: Amidst the packing chaos, try to keep your pets' feeding and walking schedule. Consistency is comforting to animals. 2. Familiar Scents: Pack their favorite toys and bedding with them - not in a moving box. Familiar scents can reduce their stress levels. 3. Safe Zone: During the move, set up a quiet space with their essentials while movers are coming in and out. A safe space keeps them calm (and out of the way). 4. Vet Records: Update microchip info and visit the vet for a check-up before the move. Peace of mind for you, health safety for them. 5. Slow Introduction: Once you arrive, introduce them slowly to their new home. Start with one room, gradually showing them more space. As a professional serving the Toronto area, I've seen how a thoughtful approach to moving can ease the transition not just for my clients, but for their beloved pets too. Remember, a peaceful pet means a peaceful home – and that’s a win in the real estate playbook. 🏡❤️ Real estate agents and pet owners, what are your top tips for moving with pets? #TorontoRealEstate #PetFriendlyMoves #RealEstateTips #SeniorLiving #EstateSales #PowerOfSales
