Relocating from one place to the other is in no way fun and adventurous especially when you have this constant clock ticking in your mind where you have a countdown set, and you have to get things right. While there are several aspects that you are to look into, right from packing belongings to letting the concerned people know about the change in address, there are times when people forget that there are pets too which are to relocate.
Moving homes with pets can often be difficult especially when they have been living here since the time they came to their senses. The cheap removalists on the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads agree that pets, especially dogs, are known to have these certain scents that they are attached to in a particular space, and it often gets difficult for them to adjust in a new space. Apart from that, travelling with them too can be hectic especially when it involves long-distance relocation.
If you too are one of those several who needs help and had come around searching for the easiest tips, here we are to help you out.
Now whether you have a UTE or any other car to travel around, there is the need to make necessary arrangements so that your pet is comfortable during the transit. Making use of baskets do no good as pets often face problems breathing in them. You could consider making use of metal cages for them to be comfortable in or simply let them be in the back seat with necessary cushioning for them to be comfortable in. Along with that, you are to keep food, water, medicines, first aid, towels, blankets, etc. handy just in case they fall sick while travelling.
If your pet isn’t habituated to being chained all the time, they would expect the same when you take them to your new house. While you know that they would be around, you could try fencing the boundary, putting up pet-friendly doors and take all other necessary measures that would make them feel comfortable and not confined. Since it is a new place for them, most pets tend to escape and search for that familiar smell. Sealing gates and putting up boundaries would prevent them to do so.
When it comes to moving systematically, only a team of local removals in Gold Coast can help you with it. Right from packing your belongings to hauling them and transporting them to your new house, they would do it all to ease your stress. While they are around on the final day, your pets may not find the ambience soothing, and amongst the chaos, you wouldn’t know who to take care of – the removalists or the pets. To avoid this, you could try keeping them aloof in other rooms so that they do not get hyper while seeing strangers in the house and preventing them to move the belongings with ease.
Cats are not always a big fan of change. If you ask them, they would prefer staying where they’ve already settled and are comfortable. Much of this is because they tend to develop a strong bond with their present environment.
But as ‘change is the only constant’; at some point; you have to move over to a new location with your dear cat. As much traumatic the move proves for your feline friend, what you can do at best is to make the relocation less stressful.
If you are moving across town or interstate, then the best way is to plan ahead of time to reduce your friend’s stress level. The reason being; cats can sense a change from afoot even before the moving day comes.
What you should do is maintain its routine and also look to pack the bedding, litter trays and bowls last to reduce their anxiety.
Furthermore, if your feline friend is suffering from medical conditions, then speak to the concerning vet and find out whether the relocation may trigger off some health complications in them. Furthermore; you should update the cat’s collar with the new address if they try to run away.
If you think that the chaos of relocating to a new locale may traumatise your cat, then you are right! To make them relaxed, arrange for them to stay somewhere safe till you have settled at your new residence.

Laila Om2022-11-18I was deeply impressed by Pat's thorough & kind communication style when I made some inquiries. I had never experienced such friendly & informative responses from any other removalist companies I contacted before. On the day, Pat's guys arrived right on time. Te & the team did an amazing job for me. They were all very courteous and brilliantly fast & smart. I have hired many removalists before and experienced them stretching out time, damaging my furniture, and stopping work & smoking cigarettes for ages when I wasn't on-site. Pat's guys Te & the team worked incredibly hard and got the job done very well in half the time other companies' guys would have. I can highly recommend Richards Removals. Richards would tremendously reduce the enormous stress & hassle of your relocating. Pat, Te & the team, thank you very much!!
