1. Make sure to get a copy of your pet’s records, and make sure all records are current, and pets are up to date on all shots.

2. Make sure to bring verification of rabie certification, and health certification, stating your animal is in good health condition.

3. Make sure to have your animal tagged with proper identification tags, and other required licensing tags.

4. Many animals start to get nervous, when they sense change. They may start feeling edgy when they see their home and belongings getting packed up for a move. Try and give them a little extra attention to put them at ease.

5. If traveling for a long distance, your veternarian can prescribe a safe low dose relaxer for your pet. It will make yours and their trip alot more pleasant.

The newest thing in the storage and moving business are pods. The pod is dropped off to the customer to load themselves, then moved to another location and stored until the customer is ready for delivery. Then the pod is arranged to be dropped off, and the customer has to unload the contents. Pods are a convienent way of moving for many people. Although if you compare pricing of self storage to pods, you are going to save a great deal of money with self storage. You will find that the price to store the pod, is almost double of what a unit at a self storage facility would be for your belongings. Also are the pods stored in a secured area, where there is a daily inspection done of the facility? Most storage facilitys also offer help with moving, trucks, movers , etc. So when the time comes for you to start making arrangements to move, take the time to compare, pods vs. self storage. I’m sure you can do alot of other things with the money you will save.

Here is our first article. We will be featuring tips and more info.

Here are some winter tips:

We would like to offer the following cold-weather storage advice. Preparing ahead for those freezing temperatures is wise.

Be lock smart. Rust-resistant brass locks and plastic coated weatherproof locks are good cold weather options. In freezing weather, heat the lock before opening it.

Cover your property with cotton or wool and not vinyl or plastic. The latter two may cause more damage in the long run. Condensation will develop on the underside, which causes mildew to form as weather warms up.

You should keep your goods off the concrete floor and away from the walls as much as possible. We suggest you place a cardboard mat or pallet on the floor and leave air space around the unit’s perimeter.

Be careful to consider what you store in the winter. Any expensive items that can be permanently damaged by cold weather should not be stored. A piano is a good example.
