Moving with pets adds a second timetable beside the furniture. Oldham jobs still follow the same rule in our terms: animals are not submitted for removal. You arrange their journey; we move the boxes.
Before moving day
Update microchips and collars with your new address. Pack a pet kit: food, leads, medication, litter, familiar bedding. Book vets near your new street once you know the postcode - practices differ between Royton and Uppermill.
If your pet is anxious, ask the vet about calming strategies well before completion week.
On loading day
Keep cats in a closed room with a clear “do not open” sign until carriers go to the car. Dogs benefit from a walk before the crew arrive, then a stay with a friend or in the car with ventilation while doors are propped open.
Never leave balconies or garden gates unattended mid-move.
Travel and arrival
Pets travel with you or a trusted helper, not in the removal van. At the new home, set up one quiet room with water, litter and bedding before you open other doors. Walk the garden boundaries when it is safe.
How we help indirectly
A well-planned house removal finishes sooner, which means less time with doors open. Share parking notes so we are not circling the block - see removal van parking in Oldham.
