Our Pet Relocation Process: A Safe, Step-by-Step Guide
Moving cities or countries is stressful enough without worrying about your pet. We’ve built a proven, end-to-end system that puts your pet’s comfort first, from initial paperwork to their final doorstep delivery.
The most common mistake pet parents make is not starting the relocation process early enough. For a smooth international move, we recommend starting at least 3 months in advance to allow time for vet visits, paperwork, and crate training.

About this collection
The biggest hurdle isn't the travel itself—it's the timeline. If you're moving internationally, we strongly recommend starting your planning at least 3 months in advance. This gives us the necessary buffer for mandatory health tests like the Rabies Titer, securing country-specific export permits, and helping your pet acclimate to their travel crate. Starting early is the single best way to ensure a calm, safe journey.
Our Step-by-Step Relocation Approach
We don't just book flights; we manage the entire experience to minimize anxiety for both you and your pet. Here is how we break down the process.
1. Consultation & Custom Planning
Every pet has different needs—some are anxious, some are snub-nosed breeds with specific health risks, and some are just seasoned travelers. We start with a consultation to understand your pet's temperament, the destination country's regulations, and your timeline. We then provide a customized estimate so you know exactly what is included.
2. Documentation & Compliance
This is where most plans hit snags. We handle the heavy lifting of bureaucracy:
- Export Permits: Coordinating with AQCS and government veterinarians.
- Medical Clearances: Arranging microchipping, vaccination history verification, and the dreaded Rabies Titer tests if required.
- Destination Paperwork: Ensuring full compliance with EU Annex IV, CDC, or CFIA requirements for seamless entry.
3. Preparation & Crate Training
Your pet's travel crate is their sanctuary during the flight. We provide IATA-approved, high-quality crates and guide you through the process of helping your pet get comfortable with it long before the flight day. We never recommend flimsy, low-quality crates that might compromise safety.
4. The Journey
On travel day, we coordinate the pickup and terminal handling. We select routes with minimal layovers and, where possible, choose pet-friendly airlines that prioritize live animal transport. Throughout the transit, we track the journey and keep you updated until your pet is safely in your arms at the destination.
