Our Services
Relocating pets internationally requires far more than an airline ticket. German import laws are strict, and U.S. export rules must be followed to the letter. That’s where we come in. Our services are designed to remove the uncertainty from the process, offering structured solutions for every stage of transport.
International Pet Flight Arrangements
Airline pet bookings are complex. Not every carrier is licensed for international pet transport, and Germany has breed-specific restrictions. We coordinate directly with IATA-approved airlines to secure compliant flights.
- Crate-sizing and ventilation requirements met
- Temperature restrictions monitored
- Priority loading and handling arranged
Our service ensures your pet doesn’t face unnecessary layovers or unsafe conditions. By carefully choosing routes, we cut down travel time, reducing stress and health risks.
Veterinary Compliance and Health Certification
Germany requires all incoming pets to have a USDA-endorsed health certificate. Missing one document can mean quarantine or denied entry. We manage:
- Rabies vaccination scheduling
- Tapeworm treatment (required for dogs)
- USDA endorsement process
- Microchip verification
With our oversight, you avoid costly mistakes. Every form is checked, every step timed precisely to German import deadlines.
USDA and APHIS Paperwork Processing
The paperwork for international pet travel is daunting. APHIS endorsements, USDA stamps, and consular checks must be handled without error. Our team takes care of:
- Submitting paperwork to USDA offices
- Tracking approvals
- Coordinating with German authorities on compliance
This service removes weeks of back-and-forth for clients who want the assurance that nothing is overlooked.
Custom Crate Preparation and Training
Airline-approved crates aren’t just boxes; they are your pet’s safe zone for the journey. We source and prepare crates according to IATA standards:
- Proper ventilation and water access
- Absorbent bedding
- Crate familiarization training for pets before travel
A familiar environment lowers anxiety, making the journey smoother. Pets trained to rest calmly in their crate experience fewer stress reactions during long flights.
Door-to-Door Pet Relocation
From your U.S. home to your new German address, we manage the entire route. This includes:
- Pick-up from your home by certified pet handlers
- Customs clearance in Germany
- Delivery to your final destination
Door-to-door relocation is especially valuable for clients moving on tight schedules. Instead of juggling multiple service providers, you rely on one coordinated process.
Import and Customs Clearance in Germany
Germany enforces strict checks at entry points such as Frankfurt and Munich airports. Pets must clear customs smoothly to avoid delays. Our German clearance partners handle:
- Direct liaison with German customs officers
- Payment of duties (if applicable)
- On-the-spot veterinary inspections
With our service, pets are released faster and moved to you without unnecessary holding.
Quarantine Avoidance Services
If your paperwork isn’t perfect, your pet could face quarantine. While Germany doesn’t mandate quarantine for compliant pets, mistakes can trigger it. We minimize risk by:
- Ensuring rabies vaccination windows are met
- Confirming microchip readability
- Checking tapeworm treatment timing
This proactive approach avoids stress for both pets and owners.
Military and Corporate Relocations
We regularly work with U.S. military families, expats, and corporate employees moving to Germany. Our services cover:
- PCS orders coordination
- Employer-sponsored relocation support
- Multi-pet transport logistics
For clients on assignment or long-term contracts, this guarantees smooth transitions with minimal disruption.
