Moving with pets in Rochdale

Pets travel with you, not loose in the van, and they need a quiet room at the new house.

Furniture and boxes inside a van

Moving with a pet in Rochdale is mostly about doors. A van, a terrace hall and a new garden are all ways for a cat or dog to slip out. On the day of a house move, keep animals in a closed room or with a friend until the last items are out, then travel with them yourself.

At the new home, put down water, food and a familiar bed before you unpack. Dogs need to know the garden boundaries, which in Norden, Littleborough or Bamford may be a lane rather than a fenced square. Cats often do better kept indoors for a while so they do not try to return to the old house. Update the microchip address and your vet if you are changing practice.

We will not put an animal in the load. Carriers, tanks and cages that you have made safe can be discussed. Tell us if a room must stay shut. Get a free quote as normal, and mention the pet so we know a room is reserved.

Frequently asked questions

Can my dog ride in the removal van?

Do not plan on it. Take pets in your own car or with someone you trust. Ask us if you are unsure about a carrier, and do not leave an animal loose while doors are open.

What should I do at the new house?

Set up water, food, a bed and a litter tray or a garden plan before you open every box. Keep the animal in one room until the doors stop opening.
