Moving with Pets: Minimising Stress for Animals on Move Day
Pets are part of the family. Keep them safe and calm with preparation, secure carriers and a designated quiet space during loading.
Pre-move
- Visit the new home ahead of time if possible and keep routines consistent to reduce anxiety.
- Ensure microchips and contact details are up to date and pack a pet essentials bag (food, meds, comfort items).
Move day
- Keep pets in a quiet room or with a trusted sitter while the crew works; use clear signage for handlers.
- Transport pets separately in secure carriers where possible and avoid placing them in the main cargo area.
