When you have a household to move and a variety of pets and several children then the household move may become complicated. When you have the moving firm come out to give you an estimate let them know you have pets and children so they are prepared on moving day and will be careful to close the doors and not let pets or children escape. And if they give you an estimate make sure what their costs are and if they have free moving offers available. Sometimes moving companies offer discounts or coupons that will reduce the cost of the move or have some free moving services attached to the offer. They may even offer a free moving service like baby sitting for any children during the move.
No one ever gets used to moving except the actual moving company. It is a period of stress for everyone, including the dog, cat or other pets. The closer to the moving date, you might want to consider putting the family pets in a kennel or let them stay with neighbors or friends and family so they are not as stressed as you are. All animals, including birds pick up their owners moods like stress. Having a pet in the home during a move may result in a scared pet that runs out an open door. If you have parrots or other animals in cages then you should make sure they are well contained on moving day so they don't escape either. The best thing to do is make sure both household pets and children are not in the actual home being moved. The same goes with the new home. Yes, take them to the new home before the actual move to make sure they know where they are going but don't let them stay during the actual move as you may encounter the same issues as the moving from home. Then expect it to take some time for them to get used to the new location.
A moving firm will not take live pets in their van so you will also have to figure out a way to get them moved. A moving firm will not take live plants either so you will have to make arrangements for these to be moved also. A moving company cannot take responsibility for keeping pets or plants alive during a move, just as they wouldn't take the children with them either. So you will have to make arrangements for the live plants too. And as most moving companies won't move hazardous waste products you will have to move them yourself or dispose of them safely before the move.
Moving is both stressful and not cheap but if you can find a moving company that offers really cheap moves that are also efficient movers then you have yourself a winner. Especially if they offer free moving offers or discounts then you rally have found yourself a good moving company. So do a search for the best and cheapest movers.
