Relocating your pet requires careful planning and expert coordination. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how professional pet transport services ensure a smooth and stress-free journey:
Once you approve our proposal, Pets in Transit will request the contact details of your trusted veterinarian. We work closely with both you and your vet to collect and review your pet’s medical records, ensuring all necessary health requirements are met. If any documentation is missing, we’ll notify you promptly and provide a clear veterinary timeline, keeping you informed every step of the way. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, ensuring your pet is fully prepared for travel.
If your pet is traveling to a country that requires an import permit or quarantine, Pets in Transit handles all the necessary arrangements on your behalf. Once we’ve gathered the required paperwork, we’ll manage the import permit application and secure a booking at the designated quarantine facility.
We also assist with obtaining the necessary health certificate before travel. This includes coordinating vet visits, arranging transportation to and from the veterinarian, ensuring required treatments are completed, and finalizing all documentation. If USDA endorsement is required, we take care of that as well. Our goal is to simplify the process so your pet’s journey is seamless, compliant, and stress-free.
Once Pets in Transit has gathered all necessary information and paperwork, we take care of booking your pet’s travel—whether by air, ground, or a combination of both. For flights, pet cargo bookings are handled through the airline’s cargo department and can only be secured once the airline’s booking window opens—typically 7 to 30 days before departure.
Our team carefully selects the safest, most comfortable routes for your pet’s journey. Whether traveling by ground or air, you can be confident that every detail is managed efficiently for a smooth and stress-free experience.
Once your pet’s travel arrangements are confirmed, Pets in Transit will provide a detailed schedule outlining every step of the journey. This includes exact pick-up or delivery times, flight details, quarantine instructions (if applicable), and a checklist of items needed for pick-up. Our thorough planning ensures you have all the necessary information, making the process smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet.
Based on your selected package, Pets in Transit offers convenient pick-up options to suit your needs. We can collect your pet directly from your home, meet you at a designated location, connect with you at the airport, or arrange pick-up from a trusted friend, family member, veterinarian, or local boarding facility. For added peace of mind, only our trained drivers handle all pet handoffs—whether it’s for a flight check-in or the start of a ground transport—ensuring a seamless and secure travel experience.
Once your pet is picked up, Pets in Transit keeps you informed with live updates on their travel progress—whether they’re flying, traveling by ground, or a combination of both.
For added peace of mind, we offer an industry-first pet travel portal, allowing you to track your pet’s journey in real time. With this innovative tool, you’ll always know where your pet is and can rest assured they are safe and on schedule.
Once your pet reaches their destination, Pets in Transit manages all necessary customs procedures for international travel when applicable. Depending on your selected services, we can arrange a smooth handover at the airport, at a designated meeting location, or provide safe transportation to your new home, a trusted relative, a close friend, or a reputable local boarding facility.
If quarantine is required, the designated quarantine staff will handle transport from the airport to the facility. Once your pet is released, we also offer convenient home delivery services, ensuring a stress-free reunion with your furry companion.
Every destination has its own set of pet travel requirements. From health certificates and vaccination records to quarantine rules and airline regulations, the details can get complicated fast.
At Pets in Transit, we help you navigate this process with ease. Our team stays up-to-date on pet travel guidelines for each location, ensuring your pet’s journey is safe, compliant, and stress-free. Whether you’re relocating to a new home, sending your pet to a trusted family member, or arranging travel to a boarding facility, we handle the logistics so you don’t have to.
