Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pet relocation

How long does the pet relocation process typically take?

+

The timeline varies depending on the destination country and their specific requirements. Generally, you should start planning 3-4 months in advance. This allows time for vaccination requirements, health certificates, import permits, and flight arrangements. Some countries may require a shorter or longer preparation period based on their specific regulations and quarantine requirements.

What documentation is required for international pet relocation?

+

Common required documents include:

  • Pet passport or health certificate
  • Proof of rabies vaccination and other required vaccines
  • Import permit for the destination country
  • Microchip documentation
  • Recent veterinary health check records

Specific requirements vary by country, and we'll guide you through exactly what's needed for your situation.

Is my pet too old or young to travel?

+

Most pets can travel safely regardless of age, but there are some considerations. Very young puppies and kittens (usually under 8 weeks) and elderly pets may require special arrangements. We conduct individual assessments and work with veterinarians to ensure your pet is fit to travel. Airlines may have specific age restrictions, which we'll review during planning.

What size travel crate will my pet need?

+

The travel crate must be IATA-approved and allow your pet to:

  • Stand naturally without touching the roof
  • Turn around completely while standing
  • Lie down comfortably
  • Sit erect

We'll help measure your pet and provide or recommend an appropriately sized crate that meets all airline requirements.

How do you ensure my pet's comfort during travel?

+

We take several measures to ensure your pet's comfort:

  • Providing comfortable bedding and familiar items in their crate
  • Using climate-controlled vehicles for ground transport
  • Booking climate-controlled cargo spaces on aircraft
  • Arranging comfort stops for longer journeys
  • Providing water containers and, when appropriate, food
  • Using calming aids when recommended by veterinarians

What happens if there are delays or changes to the travel schedule?

+

We have contingency plans for all situations. If there are any delays or changes, we:

  • Immediately notify you of the situation
  • Arrange alternative flights if necessary
  • Provide temporary boarding if required
  • Ensure your pet remains comfortable and well-cared for
  • Keep you updated throughout any changes

Do you handle quarantine arrangements?

+

Yes, we handle all quarantine arrangements where required. This includes:

  • Booking quarantine space in advance
  • Preparing all necessary documentation
  • Arranging transport to and from quarantine facilities
  • Regular updates during the quarantine period
  • Coordinating with quarantine facilities for any special requirements

"Thank you Alison, Mayphil, Ruth, The Pet Shop Crew and Aimee from Pawfect Behaviour(for recommending Pet Shop) for helping us transition to Denmark with a wonderful process clearly explained and advised. Paperwork was spot-on. The dog handlers Tanvir and Asim were well before time and advised us well and also understood the pains of caring for a rescue dog like Kimchi. We couldn't have done this better."
