Our Show Dog Relocation Services
Relocating show dogs is not the same as standard pet travel. These dogs often have strict competition schedules, specialized diets, and require attention to grooming, temperament, and handling. Our services are designed to handle every detail so that you and your dog are prepared for a smooth transition to Europe.
Health Certification and Veterinary Coordination Support
We coordinate directly with USDA-accredited veterinarians to secure the necessary health certificates for travel. Show dogs are subject to specific vaccination requirements depending on the European country of destination, including rabies titer tests and tapeworm treatments. We ensure that every form, timeline, and veterinary requirement is completed without error. This minimizes the risk of delays or quarantine upon arrival. Our service ensures compliance with regulations and safeguards your dog’s eligibility for upcoming competitions.
Breed-Specific Relocation Expertise Solution
Different breeds face different travel challenges. Brachycephalic breeds such as Bulldogs or Pekingese require specialized travel arrangements due to breathing sensitivities, while larger breeds like Great Danes often need custom crates built to airline specifications. We understand these breed-specific challenges and arrange accommodations that prioritize safety and comfort. Our approach reduces travel stress and maintains your dog’s show condition upon arrival in Europe.
Custom Travel Crates and Comfort Support
Airlines and European customs authorities require IATA-approved crates. We provide custom-fitted crates designed for your dog’s size, temperament, and breed requirements. Comfort padding, hydration systems, and stress-minimizing designs are all included. The correct crate setup is not just a compliance requirement, it ensures that your show dog arrives in peak condition, ready for the show ring.
Airline and Route Planning Management
Not all airlines are equally experienced in handling show dogs or larger breeds. We work with carriers that have strong reputations for live animal transport. We also evaluate layover times, climate conditions, and potential delays to select routes that reduce risks during transit. By managing route logistics, we protect your dog’s safety and reduce the stress associated with long-haul flights.
Import and Customs Clearance Expert in Europe
Customs regulations in Europe can differ depending on the country of entry. Missing documents or incorrect declarations can result in long delays or even refusals. Our team coordinates with customs agents to pre-clear your dog before arrival. We ensure all entry requirements are satisfied, including pet passports, microchip registrations, and veterinary certificates. This avoids unnecessary quarantine and allows your dog to focus on competition preparation.
Show Readiness and Grooming Coordination Services
Show dogs must arrive ready for competition. We arrange grooming appointments, feeding schedules, and handling services upon arrival in Europe. Whether your dog needs a coat check, nail trimming, or conditioning before entering the show ring, we coordinate professionals who specialize in show-standard grooming. This attention to detail ensures your dog looks and performs at their best without stress from travel.
Temporary Boarding and Training Integration Support
If your dog arrives before a scheduled competition, we can arrange for temporary boarding with trusted facilities that understand the unique needs of show animals. These facilities provide exercise, conditioning, and training integration so your dog maintains rhythm and form. Boarding options are carefully vetted to meet high standards of cleanliness, safety, and professional handling.
Full Relocation Management and Owner Coordination Solutions
We manage the entire relocation process from start to finish. This includes scheduling vet visits, booking flights, handling paperwork, arranging grooming, and final delivery at the European destination. We also provide consistent updates throughout the journey so you always know your dog’s status. With this service, owners focus on preparation for the competition rather than paperwork and logistics.
