Our Rare Breed Dog Relocation Services
Relocating a rare breed dog from USA to Europe involves multiple layers of preparation. Every step is critical, and any small mistake can delay or complicate the move. Our services are designed to cover all requirements so your dog can travel legally, safely, and with as little stress as possible.
Health and Veterinary Compliance Solutions
One of the most important aspects of rare breed dog relocation is ensuring compliance with veterinary regulations in both USA and the European Union. Each country has strict entry requirements, including rabies vaccinations, blood tests, and health certificates. We work directly with licensed veterinarians who understand USDA accreditation and EU standards. This ensures that your pet’s paperwork is correct and recognized upon arrival.
Our team coordinates the entire process, from scheduling vaccinations at the right intervals to securing the official health certificate within the required time frame. We know the common pitfalls, such as incorrect microchip registration or expired vaccination dates, that can delay travel. By managing these details, we reduce risks and keep your dog’s relocation on track.
Breed-Specific Relocation Planning Support
Rare breeds often come with additional challenges. Some breeds have respiratory considerations, others may require specific crate dimensions, and some may even face entry restrictions in certain European countries. We design relocation plans around the unique needs of your dog’s breed, taking into account flight routes, temperature restrictions, and kennel specifications.
We work with airlines that have established pet programs and allow for safe, climate-controlled transport. Whether you own a French Bulldog, a Tibetan Mastiff, or an Azawakh, we ensure your pet’s unique needs are accounted for so travel is safe and compliant with international guidelines.
Travel Crates and Airline Coordination Arrangements
Airline-approved travel crates are more than just containers; they’re regulated pieces of equipment that must meet IATA standards. A crate that is too small can cause stress or injury, while a non-compliant crate can result in denied boarding. We handle crate sourcing, custom sizing, and pre-travel crate acclimation.
We also manage all airline coordination, including booking space for your dog in the cargo hold or cabin (when permitted by size and breed regulations). By liaising directly with the airline’s animal transport department, we reduce miscommunication and ensure your dog’s journey is confirmed well in advance.
Customs and Import Documentation Handling
Europe has varying rules depending on the destination country. France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and other EU nations all enforce specific entry requirements for dogs. Customs officers require correct import permits, veterinary health certificates, and microchip verification before releasing the animal.
Our service includes pre-clearance support, document submission, and communication with customs officials to ensure there are no delays at the port of entry. We prepare each document in advance and confirm acceptance before travel, minimizing risks of quarantine or denied entry.
Stress Management and Animal Welfare Support
Relocation is stressful for dogs, especially when crossing an ocean. We prioritize welfare through pre-travel conditioning, crate training, and regulated feeding schedules. Dogs are not sedated during international flights due to safety risks, so we focus on non-medical methods to reduce stress.
Our team educates owners on preparing their dogs for travel. From adjusting exercise routines to ensuring hydration, every small detail makes the journey smoother for both the animal and the owner.
Ground Transport in the USA and Europe Services
Air travel is only one part of the relocation. We provide ground transportation services in both USA and Europe to get your dog safely from your home to the departure airport and from the arrival airport to your new residence. Vehicles are climate-controlled and equipped for animal safety.
This service is especially important for owners who live far from major airports or in regions where extreme weather could affect animal welfare. By managing door-to-door service, we reduce stress for both the owner and the pet.
Quarantine and Country-Specific Requirements Solutions
Some European countries have mandatory quarantine periods or additional import rules for dogs entering from USA. We advise on these regulations well before the move and coordinate with licensed quarantine facilities if required.
Our planning ensures that if quarantine is necessary, it is arranged with facilities that prioritize animal comfort and safety. We also keep owners updated throughout the process so they remain informed during the transition period.
Post-Arrival Support
Relocation does not end once your dog lands in Europe. We provide support with local veterinary registration, microchip verification, and any required follow-up tests. This ensures your pet meets ongoing requirements in your new country of residence.
We also provide advice on acclimating your dog to a new environment, helping ease the transition so your rare breed settles comfortably into European life.
