Relocating your pet internationally can be a complex process, and it’s important to start well in advance to ensure a smooth journey. Here are the steps to begin your pet relocation process:

Research and Planning:
Start by researching the destination country’s pet requirements and plan well ahead for vaccinations, quarantine, and paperwork. Early planning is crucial for a safe international pet relocation. Consult a Pet Relocation Specialist who will be able to manage all documentation, including permits and vaccination records to ensure a smooth process.

Vaccinations and Microchipping:
Schedule a vet visit to ensure your pet is healthy and up to date on vaccinations. Microchip your pet and register it with your contact information. Make sure your pet receives the required vaccinations for the destination and obtain a health certificate, possibly needing government endorsement.

Pet Travel Crate:
Acquire an airline-approved travel crate that meets the size and ventilation requirements for your pet’s breed and size. Begin crate training and acclimate your pet to the crate well in advance of the journey.

Airline Requirements:
Get in touch with the airline you intend to use for your pet’s travel and gain a thorough understanding of their unique pet travel guidelines. Secure a reservation for your pet and confirm their inclusion on your flight. If your pet is traveling as cargo, consider reaching out to a Pet Relocation Specialist to streamline the booking process and ensure a stress-free journey for your beloved companion.

On Arrival
Receiving at Destination:
Coordinate with someone at the destination to receive your pet and ensure compliance with customs or quarantine requirements. Your Pet Relocator can connect you with their counterpart at the destination.

Post-Travel Health Check:
Schedule a follow-up visit with a veterinarian in your destination country to ensure your pet’s health and vaccinations meet local requirements.
