Tips for Preparing Your Move with Pets
Calm environment: Prepare a room where your pet can stay on moving day.
Familiar scents: Blankets or toys provide comfort.
Keep routines: Do not change feeding times and walks.
Vet visit: For moves abroad, check vaccination certificate and chip number.
Train with the carrier: Practice short trips beforehand.
The better the preparation, the calmer the move will go.
An often-forgotten step: dogs must be chipped in Switzerland and registered in the central AMICUS database – after a move, you should update the new address there and with the veterinary office of your new municipality. For the transport itself: a calm driving style, sufficient breaks, and a familiar spot in the vehicle reduce stress. Further preparation is made easier with a checklist and our moving box calculator; we are happy to clarify details as part of an on-site moving consultation.

Cats and Moving - Calm and Routine Matter
Cats are especially sensitive to change. During the move, they should stay in a closed, quiet room. In the new home, set up a "cat room" first, so they can gradually get used to new smells and sounds. We are happy to advise you on how to gently introduce your cat to its new surroundings.
