How Pet Relocation Works?
-
Every relocation starts with information.
We need:Where your pet is flying from
Where your pet is flying to
Planned travel month or date
Pet’s breed, age, weight, and measurements
Any special health considerations
This lets us map out the best plan — tailored to your pet.
Why this matters: Different countries, airlines, and routes have unique requirements. Getting the facts up front avoids surprises later.
-
Once we have your information, we’ll prepare a complete checklist that shows:
Required veterinary exams
Vaccination and rabies protocol
Import permits (if needed)
Microchip, health certificates, and test timelines
Airline-specific documentation
You’ll receive a step-by-step to-do list with clear deadlines and links to official resources.
We handle the paperwork planning — you don’t guess.
-
Different airlines and routes may impact:
Whether your pet can fly in-cabin
Whether it must fly cargo or manifested live animal
Available flights on your preferred dates
Layovers and connections
We take your pet’s profile and travel dates and:
Compare airline policies
Check regulations for every stop
Choose the best route for comfort and compliance
You don’t have to contact airlines — we do it for you.
-
Pets flying internationally must travel in approved crates that meet airline and IATA standards.
We:
Advise on the correct size and type
Confirm that it complies with destination regulations
Ensure proper ventilation, strength, and safety features
This prevents last-minute airline rejection.
-
Once all documentation, routing, and crates are sorted:
We generate a final timeline
We confirm airline bookings
We track documentation deadlines
We send you a clear calendar of next steps
You’ll always know:
What’s next
What’s due
When things happen -
Before your pet travels, we will:
Review all documents with you
Check airline rules again
Confirm the expected travel window
Answer your questions
You’re never left guessing — we’re here until departure
-
After your pet lands:
We coordinate customs clearance if required
We confirm pickup timing
We support any destination-specific steps
We confirm your pet is safely reunited with you
This depends on the route and rules of the destination country — but we are here all the way through.
