Moving is stressful enough without adding a dog or cat to the mix. If your pet’s behaviour changes around packing, you are not imagining it. The house smells different, their routine breaks and strangers walk in and out with boxes.
On the day itself, the kindest plan is usually to keep the animal in a quiet closed room, or with a friend, until the van has left. A busy staircase is no place for a curious cat. Make sure they have a collar and, if they travel with you, their usual bed and water.
In the new home, set up their food, litter or bed before you open the door to them. Let them explore one room first. The rest of the house can wait.
If you have a gap between homes, check that any short rental accepts pets, and ask us about storage in Barcelona for furniture so the animal is not living in a maze of boxes. If you need help with the move, call Jesus on +34 657 484 863 or use our contact form.
