Arrange a secure, quiet place for your pet away from open doors and active furniture carrying. Tell the moving contact that a pet will be present, but do not assume the moving vehicle transports animals.
Make a separate pet plan
Prepare the pet's usual carrier or secure transport arrangement, food, water and necessary supplies. Ask your veterinarian about individual health or travel concerns; avoid using medication without veterinary advice.
If a trusted person can look after the pet during loading, coordinate the handover in advance. Otherwise choose a secure room that will not be opened unexpectedly and inform everyone involved.
Prepare the destination
Set up a contained area with familiar belongings before allowing the pet to explore. Check doors, windows and escape points while movers are still coming and going. Keep food and pet essentials with you rather than deep inside the moving load.
Ask building management about relevant access rules. This guide concerns moving-day organization, not international pet import or veterinary requirements.
Can the pet travel in the moving truck?
Ask about the actual policy and arrange an appropriate alternative. Do not place an animal among boxed household goods.
What if the pet becomes distressed?
Pause interaction where practical, move it away from the busy route and follow advice appropriate to the animal from a qualified professional.
