Step-by-Step Relocation Plan
Relocating a pet overseas involves multiple steps, and we make the process straightforward for you while prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort. Here’s how our international pet relocation process works:
Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation where you share your pet’s information, travel requirements, and destination. This allows us to understand your needs and provide a clear relocation plan.
Preparation
Once we have the details, our team handles the essentials, preparing veterinary paperwork, securing USDA endorsements, booking flights, and arranging travel carriers that meet airline standards.
Pre-Travel Review
Before departure, we ensure all veterinary health certificates, vaccinations, and travel documents are complete and compliant with EU entry regulations. This step prevents delays and ensures a smooth handover at the airport.
Flight Supervision
Your pet travels with trusted airlines that follow strict Live Animal Regulations, ensuring safety and comfort during the journey. Our handlers carefully supervise check-in and transit where required.
