Moving house is stressful, but moving with your pet doesn't have to be. We have illustrated the common ways your pet can travel safely, whether you are taking a train within India or flying internationally.

For smaller pets, in-flight cabin travel can be an option on certain airlines. This doodle shows a cat safely tucked in its carrier on a plane seat.

About this collection

Most pet parents are surprised to learn that their pet doesn't always need to fly in cargo. For domestic travel in India, we often secure 1st AC train coupes where you can travel with your pet, while international moves strictly follow IATA guidelines for climate-controlled holds to ensure safety. The right method depends on your destination, the airline's specific rules, and your pet's breed.

How We Manage Your Pet's Journey

We break down the complexities of travel into clear, actionable steps. Every method serves a different purpose, and we help you choose the one that keeps your pet calm and comfortable.

International Air Cargo

This is the safest and most common method for international relocation. Pets travel in a specialized, climate-controlled, and pressurized compartment of the aircraft. We handle the rigorous IATA-compliant crate preparation, airline booking, and all necessary import/export permits. We take extra care with snub-nosed breeds, opting for cooler flight timings and airlines with strict pet-handling protocols.

In-Cabin Travel

For smaller pets, some airlines allow travel in the cabin with you. This is highly specific to the airline's policy and the destination country's entry requirements. If this is an option for your route, we guide you through the mandatory carrier dimensions and pre-flight health checks to make sure the boarding process is smooth.

Domestic Train Travel

For domestic moves within India, the train is often a less stressful alternative to flying. We specialize in securing 1st AC train coupes. This is a private space where you travel alongside your pet, managing their feeding and comfort personally. We handle the official parcel formalities, weighing, and booking requirements, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork at the station.

Why Our Process Works

We don't just book tickets. We manage the paperwork, ISO microchipping, and vet checks required for a 'fit to fly' certificate. Whether you are moving from Delhi to Dubai or Mumbai to London, our focus remains on safety, transparency, and minimizing stress for both you and your pet.
