International Pet Moves

Moving Your Pet Around the World

There are hundreds of details to attend to when moving a pet offshore. Regulations vary by destination and frequently change. Engaging Air Animal to manage your pet's international move will ensure a smooth transition for you and your pet. We move pets to more than 165 countries and we’ve posted average bundled prices for some of the most common overseas destinations on this page.

Let’s talk! Start your pet’s move well before your relocation date by telling us more using our online request.

• Start six to 12 months before immigrating with your pet to the Pacific rim countries - Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, the Fiji Islands.
• Start three months ahead when moving to Europe, the Middle East or Africa.
• Start two months ahead when moving to Central America, South America or the Caribbean.
• Start three weeks ahead when moving to Canada. See our domestic pricing for Canadian relocations.

Your pet relocation needs depend upon your pet’s species, breed, the number of pets relocating, each pet's weight, the flight kennel in which your pet flies, the origin, the destination, the pre-flight requirements, air transport charges, and in-transit care charges. That’s why we don’t do automated cookie-cutter replies. Sharing your plans using the online request allows your pet move manager to develop your itinerary and move proposal based on your move or flight date and thoughtful consideration of your needs.

Your international pet relocation average bundled price includes air cargo charges, relocation logistics, a pet travel kennel, laboratory charges for required blood tests, veterinary inspections, international health certificate preparation, in-transit care, pet hotel or quarantine if required, customs entry procedures, ground transport to a gateway airport if needed, and the specific requirements of the destination country.

Last minute cancellations and flight changes without notice still persist due to airline staffing and aircraft availability.  These situations are out of our control. We will try our best to assist and reschedule. Air Animal will not compensate or reimburse for expenses when such situations arise.

Many clients call on us repeatedly and refer friends and family to us. Try us once and you'll understand why!
