How it works
Planning
Following your one-on-one consultation with our travel consultants, we will provide questionnaires and forms to gather essential details about your pet. This helps us develop a well-suited travel plan, prioritising your pet’s comfort and safety.
Preparation
We handle all aspects of your pet’s travel, liaising with airlines, government ministries, customs, and IPATA-approved pet relocation agents in the destination country. All necessary paperwork is meticulously managed to ensure smooth and hassle-free travel.
The Journey
With a perfectly sized crate, ample water supply, absorbent pads, and any necessary instructions, we ensure your pet’s comfort is fully provided for throughout the journey.
At Destination
The IPATA-approved agent, assigned and briefed by our travel consultant, will ensure that all formalities are completed in the destination country, allowing your pet to proceed home or to quarantine if required. In some destinations, pet owners may also clear their animals directly once we have briefed them on the process.
