When should I move my pet on moving day?

Move them last. Set up their safe room at the new house first, then transport them directly from old safe room to new safe room. They skip the chaos entirely and only experience two calm rooms and a car ride.

Should I sedate my pet for moving day?

Consult your vet. Anti-anxiety medication is available and appropriate for some pets during moves. Never sedate without veterinary guidance. A calm, well-managed moving day with a safe room may be sufficient for most pets.
