1. Pet Transport Expertise
Pet transport can be complex, depending on where you’re travelling. But using a pet transport company lets you benefit from years of experience and expertise (50+ years in our case).
Regulatory Knowledge
Understanding regulations for pet transport can be a headache. Pet travel companies are well-versed in the rules and requirements of different countries.
We know what paperwork, vaccinations, and approvals you need. So you don’t have to worry about compliance.
Airlines have specific rules for pet travel. We ensure all airline regulations are met, making the process smoother.
Help With Paperwork
One of the most challenging parts of travelling with pets is the paperwork. We can help you with necessary documents like:
- Import permits
- Health certificates
- Vaccination records
We make sure all forms are accurate and submitted on time. This reduces the chances of delays or issues at borders or airports.
Quarantine and Customs Assistance
Many countries have strict quarantine laws for international travel. Navigating these rules can be difficult, but pet transport companies are experienced in handling them.
We guide you through the pet travel process so your pet meets the regulations. This expertise helps prevent unnecessary delays and ensures your pet’s safe arrival.
2. Minimise Stress
Less Stress for Pet Owners
Organising pet transport can be overwhelming. But using the best pet transport company helps reduce that stress.
We help with all the logistics, including:
- Paperwork
- Safety needs
- Travel arrangements
You don’t have to worry about managing everything yourself.
Less Stress for Pets
Pet transport companies ensure that your pet travels in a safe, comfortable, and controlled environment. This minimises their anxiety and helps keep them calm throughout the journey.
Secure Handling
Experienced pet transport professionals know how to handle animals with care. They make sure pets are treated humanely at every stage of the trip, from pick-up to drop-off at their final destination.
Your pets are in good hands with our expert handlers. They can help calm your pet for a stress-free travel experience.
This level of care ensures your pet’s safety and well-being during transit.
3. Health and Safety
Coordinate Vet Visits
Pet transport companies help arrange vet check-ups. This ensures your pet is healthy and fit for travel.
The vet addresses potential health issues before the journey. Even if a health check isn’t mandatory, getting one gives you peace of mind.
Advice on Vaccinations
Pets generally need vaccinations for international travel. Pet transport companies advise you on which vaccinations are necessary.
We can check vaccinations are recorded properly on paperwork. This helps you avoid potential travel delays or complications.
Plans for Unexpected Issues
Pet transport companies have contingency plans in place. These cover unexpected events like flight delays or sudden health problems.
Emergency measures help protect your pet, even when things don’t go as planned.
4. Time Savings
Faster Booking Process
Pet transport companies streamline booking flights and making travel arrangements for your pet. They handle everything quickly and efficiently, saving you the time and effort of managing it all yourself.
No Need to Learn Regulations
Understanding the rules and requirements for pet travel can be time-consuming. Pet transport companies do the research for you and make sure your pet meets all the necessary regulations. You don’t need to spend time figuring it out.
Less Time on the Phone/Email
Coordinating with airlines, vets, and customs can take hours of phone calls and emails. Pet transport companies have processes for this, freeing you up to focus on other tasks.
5. Custom Travel plans
Work Around Your Needs
Pet transport companies create tailored travel schedules to fit your needs. You may have specific timing requirements, or your pet may need special care.
We can assist with tailoring a travel plan to suit your unique situation.
Advise on Pet Boarding
Your pet might need pet boarding for a layover or if you’re collecting them later. Pet transport companies can recommend trusted pet boarding facilities.
This ensures your pet is safe and comfortable during long trips or stopovers.
We have strong relationships with a wide range of pet boarding facilities globally.
Door-to-Door Service
Reliable pet transport companies like Dogtainers offer a door-to-door service. This makes pet travel even more convenient for you.
