International Pet Transport FAQs

How Do I Prepare My Pet For International Travel?

Preparing your pet for international travel involves several steps, including:

• Crate training – Familiarise your pet with the crate to help them feel comfortable and secure during transport.
• Consult with our experienced travel consultant – Our consultant can provide you with information on the requirements for pet travel to your destination country.
• Health check with your vet – Before travel, discuss your pet’s health with your veterinarian to ensure they are fit to travel.
• Road trips in the crate – Gradually expose your pet to longer periods in their crate, to help them get used to being confined during travel.
• Familiar scents – Place a shirt that you have worn for a few days in the crate to provide your pet with familiar scents, which can help reduce stress during travel.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your pet is well-prepared for the journey ahead and feels comfortable and safe during the trip.

How Do I Transport My Pet To Another Country?

When transporting your pet to another country, it is important to plan ahead. It is recommended to start making inquiries about the travel arrangements several months before the intended travel date, as different destinations may have different preparation and booking notice times.

To ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience for your pet, it is advisable to work with our experienced consultants who will guide you through the process and provide you with all the necessary information and requirements for your pet’s destination country.

Our consultants will also help you to schedule the necessary preparation and check that all of the required paperwork is in order. It is important to follow their instructions and guidance diligently to ensure that your pet’s travels are as safe and comfortable as possible.
