Our Services
When it comes to international dog transport, details matter. As you probably already know, there is a ton of paperwork that complicates things, and any mistake – from crate size to customs clearance – can delay or hinder your pet’s move. That’s why we’ve built a full-service system covering everything from paperwork to pick-up in Amsterdam.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Health and Vaccination Compliance
Transporting your dog from the USA to the Netherlands means following strict EU import regulations. A single missed detail can cause delays or quarantine.
We take care of:
- Coordinating with your vet to confirm required vaccinations
- Reviewing rabies certificate and parasite treatments
- Checking microchip registration and compliance
- Ensuring USDA endorsement for international health certificates
With our oversight, you avoid the paperwork headaches and keep your dog on track for a smooth entry into the Netherlands.
Custom Travel Crates
Airlines require IATA-approved travel crates. Too small, and your dog could be denied boarding. Too big, and you’re overpaying.
Our crate service includes:
- Measuring your dog to determine the correct crate size
- Supplying IATA-approved travel crates
- Guidance on crate acclimation before travel
- Ventilation and safety checks to keep your dog comfortable
A well-fitted crate keeps your dog calmer during the journey and ensures they meet every airline requirement.
Route Planning and Flight Booking
Not every airline or route is pet-friendly. When planning your dog’s move from the US to the Netherlands, we design travel plans that prioritize your pet’s safety.
This covers:
- Selecting pet-approved airlines with strong track records
- Booking routes with minimal layovers
- Avoiding extreme weather routes and unsafe stopovers
- Coordinating flight schedules with veterinary deadlines
By tailoring flights this way, your dog avoids unnecessary stress and arrives in the Netherlands safely and on time.
Airport-to-Airport Pet Transport
Your dog’s journey is monitored from departure to arrival. No getting lost in the shuffle.
We provide:
- Check-in with trained animal cargo staff at the US airport
- Constant monitoring during transfers and layovers
- Safe handling upon arrival at Schiphol Airport
- Regular updates to you at every stage
This keeps you reassured and ensures your dog’s trip is handled with precision from start to finish.
Customs Clearance in the Netherlands
The Netherlands requires strict entry checks for pets. Missing one piece of paperwork can lead to delays.You don’t want that.
So we provide customs support by:
- Preparing EU-compliant paperwork before departure
- Coordinating with Dutch customs officials on arrival
- Fast-tracking entry inspections at Schiphol Airport
- Eliminating risks of quarantine or denial of entry
With everything ready ahead of time, your dog clears customs quickly and avoids unnecessary waiting.
Ground Transportation in the Netherlands
Once in the Netherlands, your dog still needs safe passage to their new home.
We handle:
- Airport pick-up at Schiphol
- Private ground transport in climate-controlled vehicles
- Delivery to homes in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, and beyond
- Hand-off directly to you or your family
That way, your dog’s trip doesn’t end at the airport but continues smoothly right to your doorstep.

If you want everything managed from start to finish, this service covers it all.
We manage:
- Pick-up from your home in the USA
- Vet visits and health certificate endorsements
- Crate fitting and acclimation guidance
- Flights, customs clearance, and delivery in the Netherlands
This gives you one point of contact and complete peace of mind knowing no step has been left out.

- Reviewing regulations and import requirements
