Pet Friendly Apartments
We know that keeping pets happy keeps their owners happy too. That's why we offer a lifestyle that pet owners love. We believe a safe, clean environment for all pets and this means respectful scooping of waste.
We welcome you and your pet to Grand Lux pet friendly Apartments at Fort Stockton, Texas. Please read about our pets policy below.
Pets are not allowed without management's prior written approval and payment of the pet deposit and fees in full for each pet. There is a limit of two pets per apartment.

Prior to approval of your applicaion or before you acquire a pet, you must schedule a pet interview with management and provide a certificate of health, from a licensed veterinarian, that states the pet breed, age, weight, height and vaccinations received. We will also photograph your pet for our records.
Having a four-legged family member is one of the greatest joys. You have found pet friendly apartments that will suit all your needs! You are ready for the entire family, including your pet to venture onto your new apartment!
ASPCA Director of Anti-Cruelty Behaviour Research Dr. Katherine Miller states that there are ways to make the move to your new apartment as easy and safe as possible for your four-legged friends.
Moving is tough enough on us humans, but animals don't understand why strangers are removing the furniture. Like the rest of us, pets also need a little extra TLC during moving time. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make thir move easier on both ends and on the road.
Take your time. Stretch out your packing time over several weeks. Avoid panicing the last days, try making moving day as relaxed as possible for you and your pets. Don't change your pets' routines, such as feedings and walks, keep them as normal as possible in the week before moving. Because dogs and cats need to feed in control, they might exhibit behavioral changes or even become ill when stressed. Treat them with the same level of attention that you would normally give them.
Cats aren't big fans of change. You can help your cats (and skittish dogs) adjust to the moving process by bringing in moving boxes early on and by keeping your furry friends in a familiar room which will be packed last. On moving day, keep your pets in a quiet room with the door closed or at a friend's house. This will make sure that your dog or cat won't get scared and try to make a quick getaway while the movers load up the truck.
Visit your veterinarian a few weeks before moving day and request a copy of your pets' records, a rabies vaccination and a health certificate. Be certain your pets are up to date with their shots. If your pet is a senior or has health problems, ask wether a mild sedative would be advisable before travel.
Get leaches and tags. If you have a dog or an indoor/outdoor cat, buy or create identification tags with your new address and phone number. Be sure your pets are wearing them during moving day travel. While you're at it, pick up a cat leash - you'll need it if you're taking a long road trip or travelling by plane as well as for the first few days that they go outdoors in the new neighborhood.
When you arrive at your new pet friendly apartment, it will be temting to set your dog or cat loose in the apartment to explore. However, a new and unfamiliar space can be overwhelming to your pets. Start by allowing them to adjust to one room, their home base, which should include their favorite toys, treats, water and food bowls, and litter box for cats. When they seem comfortable, gradually introduce them to other rooms in the apartment. Keep ome doors shut. You can slowly move your cat's litter box to a different room, too.
Your cat or dog will be king (or queen) of your new apartment in no time.
Again, choose a small room to be the pet room, where dogs and cats can feel secure as you move in your furniture and belongings. Try to have furniture, toys and food bowls in place before you let your pet out of it's crate.
Don't let your pet go outdoor without a leash.
Continue giving your pets water from home for the first few days.
