Our Services
When you’re preparing your dog for international travel, every detail matters. Airlines, import laws, and health rules can be confusing if you’ve never gone through the process before. Our job is to make your furry friend’s travel from USA to Spain straightforward, safe, and stress-free.
Here’s how we take care of everything from start to finish.
Flight Booking and Travel Coordination
Airlines have different rules about pets. Some allow pets in the cabin, others only in cargo. Routes matter too because not every airport in Spain accepts live animals. We book flights that keep your dog safe, avoid extreme weather risks, and reduce layovers.
How this helps you:
- Avoid last-minute flight cancellations due to pet restrictions.
- Get routes that follow EU-approved entry points into Spain.
- Ensure your dog’s crate and setup meet airline standards.
According to IATA, more than 4 million live animals are transported by air each year, and proper planning reduces risk significantly. With us, your dog’s booking is handled with precision.
Veterinary Paperwork and USDA Approval
Before your dog can enter Spain, you’ll need health certificates approved by the USDA. The forms must be signed by an accredited vet and stamped by USDA offices. Any mistake could mean denied entry.
We prepare and review all documents, including:
- Rabies vaccination certificates
- Microchip documentation
- Health certificate endorsed by USDA
- Tapeworm treatment proof (required for dogs entering Spain)
How this helps you:
- No running back and forth between vets and government offices.
- No risk of Spain customs rejecting your dog due to paperwork errors.
- Peace of mind knowing everything is completed correctly.
Crate Sourcing and Training
We ensure your dog travels in an IATA-approved crate. That’s because airlines won’t allow makeshift or undersized carriers. We help you select the right crate size and guide you on getting your dog comfortable with it weeks before travel.
How this helps you:
- Avoid extra airline charges for non-compliant crates.
- Reduce stress for your dog during the long flight.
- Give your dog a safe and familiar “den” for the journey.
Studies show dogs that are crate-trained before flights show fewer stress behaviors in transit.
Customs Clearance in Spain
Arriving in Spain with a dog means going through customs at the airport. Officers check documents, microchips, and vaccinations before releasing your dog. This can take hours if the paperwork is not perfect.
We coordinate with local agents in Spain who clear pets quickly and keep you updated while you wait.
How this helps you:
- Faster release from customs so your dog isn’t stuck at the airport.
- Direct updates on your pet’s arrival status.
- Smooth handover once you land in Spain.
Home Pick-Up and Drop-Off
We can arrange door-to-door service. Instead of you stressing about airport drop-offs and pickups, we handle ground transport with trusted partners.
How this helps you:
- Less hassle on travel day.
- Safe transfer for your dog with handlers experienced in live animal transport.
- Convenient if you live far from an international airport.
Temperature-Controlled Flight Planning
Spain can get hot, and airlines restrict animal travel during high temperatures. We plan flights that protect your dog from extreme weather risks by selecting airlines and routes that prioritize animal welfare.
How this helps you:
- No exposure to dangerous heat during layovers.
- Flights only booked during safe seasonal windows.
- Confidence your dog’s welfare is prioritized above schedules.
Real-Time Updates and Communication
We know the hardest part of international dog transport is the waiting. Not knowing where your dog is during travel adds stress. We provide updates at every stage: check-in, boarding, mid-flight transfers, and arrival.
How this helps you:
- You’re never left in the dark.
- Immediate updates reduce travel anxiety.
- Assurance that your dog is safe at every stage.
Quarantine and Import Compliance
Spain doesn’t usually require quarantine for dogs arriving from the USA if requirements are met. But missing one detail could mean unexpected holding time. We make sure every rule is followed so your dog can walk out with you on arrival.
How this helps you:
- Avoid costly quarantine delays.
- Smooth entry into Spain without extra stress.
- Assurance your dog will be with you the same day you land.
