- Make sure that your pet is kept inside or in a secure area where they cannot get out for the first week or two, giving them time to get used to their new environment.
- Place familiar toys, food and water bowls, and other loved items near them so that they have that familiar scent.
- This will give them some sought of security until they are used to their new abode.
