Moving countries is a stressful process for humans, but moving your pet needn’t be

The timeline depends on your destination country, airline availability, and the specific import requirements involved. Some relocations can be arranged within days, while others may require several weeks or months of preparation due to testing or permit timelines. 

We always recommend contacting us as early as possible so we can guide you through the process and avoid unnecessary delays. 

The earlier, the better. Some countries require: 

• Rabies vaccinations 
• lood testing 
• Waiting periods 
• Import permits 

Starting early gives us the best chance of securing the smoothest route and ensuring all veterinary and travel requirements are completed correctly.

This depends on: 

• Airline regulations 
• Destination country rules 
• Your pet’s size and breed 

Some airlines allow small pets to travel in the cabin, while others require pets to travel as manifest cargo. 

For example: 

• The UK requires pets to arrive as manifest cargo 
• Abu Dhabi may allow small pets under airline weight limits to travel in-cabin with certain airlines 

Our team can advise you on the safest and most suitable option for your journey. 

Manifest cargo is a specialised animal transport system used by airlines for international pet travel. Pets travel in a dedicated, temperature-controlled and monitored area of the aircraft designed specifically for live animals. 

While the term “cargo” can sound worrying, this is the standard and safest method required by many countries for pet importation. 

Requirements vary depending on the destination country, but commonly include: 

• Valid vaccinations 
• Microchip 
• Health certificate 
• Export permit 
• Import permit 
• Parasite treatments 
• Airline-approved travel crate 

Our relocation team manages the entire process for you, including paperwork, scheduling, and coordination with airlines and international agents. 

Pet relocation costs vary depending on: 

• Destination country 
• Airline 
• Crate size 
• Veterinary requirements 
• Import permits 
• Flight availability 

Because every relocation is different, we provide personalised quotations based on your pet and travel plans. 

We can manage as much or as little of the process as you need. 

 This may include: 

• Veterinary preparation 
• Export paperwork 
• Flight booking 
• Customs documentation 
• Airport handling 
• Coordination with overseas agents 

Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
