Four Paws and a Move: How to Successfully Move with Your Pooch

The entire family is putting in time and sweat to make the move happen, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get Fido to understand what is happening. Moving boxes and movers make him nervous and uneasy, and the fast-approaching car ride to the new home certainly won’t set that tail to wagging. Moving is a big change – even for dogs – but the tips and resources in this infographic will help.

Your pooch will cheer up once he sees all there is to do in Salem no matter which area your new home is in. Start off with a walk around Canobie Lake Park, or treat him to one of the area’s dog parks. For a more unique experience, the two of you can explore America’s Stonehenge or nearby Searles Castle or Winnekenni Castle.
