Depending on your pet's breed and its origin or destination, some airlines place embargoes on pet travel. We are up to date on all the latest restrictions, so we can advise the best timing and flight routing for your pet to travel.
Some airlines and/or countries will not allow pets to travel with you in-cabin or as accompanied baggage or they only accept live animal shipments from professional pet shippers. Check with your intended airline to review any specific pet shipping policies.
If necessary, we can board your pet until you are ready for them to travel. We’re happy to collect your pet from home, a relative, your veterinarian, or your favorite boarding facility if you need extra time to relocate.
Flight cancellations are rare, but they can happen. If your pet’s flight is canceled, we will pick them up and arrange for them to travel to you on the next possible flight. We will contact you and/or the consignee (person receiving your pet) before making new travel arrangements.
Our primary concern is always the health and safety of the pets that we transport. Tranquilizers or sedatives can be more harmful than helpful to your pet during air travel, so we will NOT ship any pet who has been sedated or tranquilized.
One of the perks of transporting your pet is that pet moving expenses can be tax-deductible if the relocation is job-related. Please consult your accountant and refer to IRS publication #521 for more details.
What types of animals do you transport?
While we primarily transport cats and dogs, we have experience with a variety of companion animals, including rabbits, birds, and small mammals. Regulations vary greatly by species and destination, so please inquire about your specific pet
Can you help with customs clearance?
Yes. Customs and import/export documentation are core components of our service. We manage all paperwork submissions and work directly with agriculture and customs officials at origin and destination ports to ensure seamless clearance.
How do you ensure my pet's safety during travel?
Safety is our paramount concern. We use only IATA-compliant travel kennels, book pets on pet-friendly airlines with climate-controlled holds, and monitor temperature and flight schedules meticulously. Our “Pet First” policy means we will never put your pet on a flight with unsuitable conditions.
Do you work with veterinarians?
Yes. We partner with a global network of pet travel-savvy veterinarians who understand international protocols. We can refer you to one in your area or coordinate with your current vet.
How much does international pet transport cost?
Costs depend on the destination, pet’s size/weight, and specific services required. After our consultation, we provide an all-inclusive, itemized quote with no hidden fees. Factors include: airline fees, kennel purchase, documentation, veterinary prep, and door-to-door service.
What size/type of travel kennel is needed?
We supply IATA-compliant, airline-approved kennels appropriate for your pet’s size, allowing them to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Proper kennel acclimation is a key part of our pre-move guidance.
