Pet Arrival Process: What Happens When Your Pet Reaches the Destination
Relocating your beloved pet to a new destination can be a journey filled with anticipation and a touch of anxiety. Whether it’s an international move or a domestic transfer, the pet arrival process is one of the most critical steps in ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety. At Anvis Pet Relocation, we prioritize transparency and care, making every effort to simplify this process for both you and your furry companion.
Here’s a comprehensive look at what happens when your pet reaches their destination.
1. Initial Arrival at the Destination Airport
The moment your pet’s flight touches down, the pet arrival process begins. Depending on the destination country, pets are usually received at a specialized animal handling facility or cargo area of the airport. These facilities are equipped to handle pets with care and prioritize their comfort.
Trained professionals, including veterinarians and animal care specialists, perform an initial assessment of your pet. They check for signs of stress, dehydration, or discomfort after their journey. This ensures your pet receives immediate attention if needed.
2. Customs Clearance
For international relocations, customs clearance is a vital step. Anvis Pet Relocation works in advance to prepare all necessary documentation, such as import permits, vaccination records, and health certificates, to streamline this process.
Customs officials verify these documents to ensure compliance with the destination country’s airline policies for pet relocation and import regulations. In some cases, pets may need to undergo a brief quarantine period, depending on their vaccination history and country of origin.
3. Quarantine Procedures (If Applicable)
Some countries, like Australia and New Zealand, require mandatory quarantine periods as part of their stringent biosecurity measures. If quarantine is necessary, your pet will be transferred to an approved facility upon arrival.
These facilities prioritize your pet’s well-being, offering spacious enclosures, nutritious meals, and veterinary oversight. At Anvis Pet Relocation, we provide updates throughout the process to reassure you that your pet is in good hands.
4. Pet Retrieval and Handling
After customs and quarantine procedures, your pet is ready for retrieval. If you’ve chosen pet transportation services through our door-to-door option, an Anvis Pet Relocation Specialist or a trusted local partner will handle this step.
We ensure your pet is well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable before beginning the next phase of their journey. For those opting to collect their pet personally, we provide clear instructions and assistance to ensure a smooth process.
5. Transport to the Final Destination
Whether it’s your home, a hotel, or a temporary boarding facility, we arrange safe and secure ground transportation for your pet. Our vehicles are equipped to meet the needs of pets, maintaining optimal temperature and ventilation during travel.
Our trained handlers are skilled at managing anxiety in pets, ensuring they are calm and comfortable during the trip. Regular breaks are taken to provide water, food, and reassurance as needed.
6. Reunion with Owners
One of the most heartwarming moments is the reunion between you and your pet. Whether it’s at the airport, your doorstep, or another location, Anvis Pet Relocation ensures this moment is seamless and joyful.
Bringing along familiar items like your pet’s favorite toy or blanket can help them feel secure during this transition. Spending some quiet time together allows your pet to relax and adjust to their new surroundings.
7. Post-Arrival Support
Our commitment to you doesn’t end when your pet arrives. We offer ongoing support to address any concerns or questions as your pet adjusts to their new home.
If your pet needs help adapting to a new climate or time zone, we provide resources and tips to make this process easier. We can also connect you with local veterinarians, pet supply stores, and trainers in your area.
8. Tips for a Smooth Arrival Process

- Bring Essentials: Pack treats, a familiar toy, and water for immediate comfort.
