Pet supplies are easy to pack but easy to lose track of on moving day, which is exactly when your dog or cat needs its bowl and medication the most. Keep a dedicated first-day bag separate from everything else that goes on the truck.
Pro tip: Pack a spare leash and collar with ID tags in the first-day bag as a backup in case the everyday one goes missing in the shuffle.
Watch out: Wet pet food or medication left in a hot moving truck for several hours can spoil or lose potency; keep it in a cooler with you instead.
