Moving house can be stressful and hectic. You not only have to think about the things you are moving (which can literally be everything but the kitchen sink!) but also the people you are moving with. Pets can easily get forgotten in the hassle of moving. Leading removal service Removal Group offer handy hints and tips on moving with pets.
The first and foremost thing to do is to keep pets away in a quiet place so they can’t escape when doors are being opened and closed. Also, buying a high-quality pet carrier will ensure your buddy has a comfortable journey. There is nothing worse than an uncomfortable pet growling or hissing for the whole journey! Make sure they are familiar with the cage; if it is a new carrier, encourage them to use it before you use it on moving day.
Animals, much like babies, recognise scents. If it is a new carrier, it is likely it does not smell familiar, and can cause your pet to become agitated inside it. Putting a piece of cloth in there with your scent on it will ensure this does not happen. Essentials such as food, water, a leash and newspapers to keep your car clean, are vital when moving home with pets. Giving your pet water at regular intervals will ensure they do not get dehydrated, which can happen very quickly in hot weather. Never leave pets in a vehicle in warm weather as this can injure or even kill them because of the rise in temperature.
The firm, which has had a wealth of positive removal group reviews, also recommends you cover the cages of birds and small pets such as hamsters and gerbils with a cloth to avoid them escaping. Birds can be extra sensitive to sudden temperatures so try and keep the temperature in your vehicle as constant as possible.
The removal group service advises you check with your local pet store when moving fish, as these can be particularly difficult, especially if they are tropical fish. Essentials to include in your pet travel kit, aside from food and drink, include dishes, a can opener, a scooper and plastic bag for those “accidents”, a few treats, their favourite toys and some kind of bedding to ensure the comfort of your furry friend.
The Managing Director of Removal Group said: “We appreciate it can be difficult to move with pets and this is why we have this comprehensive list on our website. It is by no means exhaustive but it should get you started. Your removals co-ordinator will assist you through all these points, and more, when you move with us.
“When you find out your new address, the first thing you should do is get them a pet ID tag that includes your address and at least one phone number. It is also best to prepare your new home for your pet before you move in, if possible, to ensure maximum comfort for them and to make your move that much easier.”
