IMPORTING PETS TO INDIA
Importing Pets to India – Bringing Your Pets Home, the Right Way
There’s nothing quite like coming home—especially when your furry family member is right by your side. Whether you’re relocating to India or returning after time abroad, importing pets to India can feel overwhelming with all the rules, paperwork, and coordination involved. That’s where Anvis Pet Relocation steps in to make it effortless, reliable, and worry-free.
Global Moves, Local Expertise
India has specific regulations for pet imports, including permissions from government authorities, vaccination compliance, microchipping, and health certifications. With years of experience and a compassionate, hands-on approach, Anvis ensures every requirement is met with precision, so your pet arrives safe, healthy, and stress-free.
We work closely with authorities like the Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS) and DGFT, making sure your pet’s arrival in India is smooth, compliant, and delay-free—whether they land in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Chennai.
