Our Services
We offer a complete range of USA to Norway pet transport services designed to simplify the process while ensuring full legal and airline compliance. Each service is structured to reduce risk and minimize your stress.
Pet Travel Planning and Consultation
Every successful relocation begins with a clear plan. Our consultation service outlines every step of the process based on your pet’s breed, age, and travel route. We handle all pre-travel requirements including vaccination schedules, microchip verification, and route selection.
Our team assists you with:
- Airline-compliant flight options
- USDA and APHIS documentation timelines
- Import and customs entry procedures
- Veterinary appointment scheduling
By starting early, you avoid last-minute complications that can delay your pet’s flight. This structured planning keeps every aspect of your pet’s relocation on track.
Veterinary Compliance and Health Certification
Traveling from the USA to Norway requires meeting very specific health regulations. One missing signature or incorrect date can cause entry refusal. Our veterinary coordination ensures your pet’s documentation passes every checkpoint.
We handle:
- Rabies vaccination (minimum 21 days before travel)
- ISO microchip implantation (ISO 11784/11785 standards)
- Tapeworm treatment for dogs within the correct timeframe
- USDA endorsement of the EU Annex IV or APHIS 7001 health certificate
Custom IATA-Approved Crates
Each pet must travel in a crate that meets International Air Transport Association (IATA) requirements. We supply or modify crates to exact size specifications for comfort and compliance.
Our crate service includes:
- Measurement using IATA A+B+C+D formula
- Ventilated, non-collapsible construction
- Leak-proof base and secure locking mechanisms
- “Live Animal” labels in English and Norwegian
We also offer acclimation sessions so your pet becomes comfortable with their crate before the journey, reducing anxiety during flight.
Door-to-Door Pet Transport
For clients who want complete coverage, our door-to-door service handles every leg of the journey,from your home in the U.S. to your doorstep in Norway.
We arrange:
- Domestic ground transport in climate-controlled vehicles
- Airport check-in and customs documentation
- Import inspection upon arrival
- Final delivery to your address or a trusted contact
Each vehicle and handler is USDA-certified. Our ground team tracks every movement in real-time, ensuring your pet’s safety throughout the process.
Airline Coordination and Flight Booking
Airline policies vary significantly when it comes to animal travel. We maintain direct relationships with carriers such as KLM, Lufthansa, and SAS, known for superior pet handling standards.
Our flight coordination covers:
- Approved routes between U.S. airports and Oslo
- Climate-controlled cargo areas
- Improved layover times
- Pet-safe seasonal scheduling
We monitor all transport logistics, minimizing flight stress and ensuring your pet’s comfort until arrival.
Customs Clearance and Import Processing
Upon arrival in Norway, every animal must pass Mattilsynet inspection. Missing or inaccurate documentation can result in entry refusal or additional fees. Our customs specialists prepare and pre-submit all import information, so your pet clears inspection quickly.
We manage:
- Advance import notice (minimum 72 hours before arrival)
- Coordination with Mattilsynet inspectors
- Airport release procedures
- Payment of any customs fees
With pre-approved documentation, our clients experience average clearance times of under 90 minutes compared to typical 6-hour delays for self-managed imports.
Pet Boarding and Pre-Flight Care
When travel schedules don’t align, we offer safe, short-term boarding near major airports. Our partner facilities are USDA-inspected and managed by trained handlers.
Our boarding services include:
- 24-hour supervision
- Temperature-controlled kennels
- Daily exercise routines
- Custom feeding instructions
This ensures your pet stays healthy, rested, and calm before travel. Every animal receives pre-flight checkups and hydration support before boarding.
Post-Arrival Care and Adjustment Support
Your pet’s journey doesn’t end when the plane lands. After arrival, our Norway-based partners provide assistance for the first two weeks to ensure smooth adjustment to the new environment.
We coordinate:
- Local veterinary appointments
- Microchip registration with Norwegian databases
- Guidance on acclimating pets to Norway’s colder climate
Data from the Norwegian Kennel Club shows that 62% of imported pets experience mild travel-related stress. Our follow-up services help reduce this quickly through timely care and support.
