A Guide for Pet Owners

MOVING WITH PETS

At Swift Removals Ltd, we know pets aren’t just animals – they’re family. Over the years, we’ve helped countless customers move with dogs, cats, rabbits, and even tropical fish, and we’ve seen first-hand how important it is to make the experience as calm as possible for your furry (or feathered!) companions. That’s why our team takes extra steps to ensure your pets feel safe and cared for during the moving process

Gentle Changes, Less Stress

We recommend introducing packing gradually – and don’t worry, our survey team can advise you on how to prepare your home so your pets stay settled while the boxes start piling up.

Swift Removals Tip

We’ll talk through your pet’s needs during your free survey, so  you know exactly how to plan their day while we handle yours.

Creating a safe space

Our movers are trained to keep doors shut, hallways clear, and noise to a minimum wherever possible if pets are at home. Many families choose to keep their pets in a quiet room with their favourite toys and bedding, while we take care of the heavy lifting.

Travelling with pets

We don’t transport animals in our vans – it’s much safer for them to travel with you. But what we can do is make sure everything else runs so smoothly that you can focus entirely on their comfort.

Swift Touch

Need a moment to settle your dog or comfort your cat?  Just tell us – our crews are patient and flexible, because your pet’s Well being matters as much as your belongings.

Familiar Comforts first

When we unload, we’ll prioritise setting up your pet’s essentials – food bowls, beds, litter trays, or hutches – so they can find their bearings quickly.

Taking it step by step

Cats, especially, benefit from exploring one room at a time. We’ll help by keeping doors closed until you’re ready for them to roam.

Swift Removals Advice

Many of our past customers have found that leaving an item with   their scent – like a jumper or pillow – in their pet’s new space helps them feel instantly at home.
