A final option is to place them in the room you’re going to get to last when packing. Ideally, that would be the room they spend the most time in so that they are comfortable. Get the food, water, and their favorite toys to keep them busy and away from all the noise and action. Also, inform yourself and check with your vet about CBD oils for reducing anxiety.
