International pet relocation, planned around your pet.
Tell us where your pet is moving. Request a review of eligibility, travel options and a written quote before committing to travel.
Itinerary-specific review. No automatic booking or travel guarantee.
A worldwide move starts with a specific review.
International pet relocation brings several decisions together: whether the animal can enter the destination, how the operating airline will accept it, what preparation is needed and what the written quote actually includes. Start with those questions before committing to a travel date.
Use this hub for moves across borders. Share your origin and destination privately in the form; service feasibility and local support are confirmed individually. A website enquiry is not proof that every species, airport or itinerary is supported.
What to ask for in writing
- The feasible travel option and unresolved acceptance checks.
- Which preparation tasks belong to you, your veterinarian and any confirmed service provider.
- Included charges, third-party charges and change or cancellation conditions.
- Collection, travel and destination handover arrangements.

Review scope and price
Ask for a written, itemized scope. Resolve who handles each stage and what happens if the itinerary changes before accepting a booking.

Birds and other species need an eligibility review first.
Do not assume dog and cat travel rules cover a bird or another animal. Identification of the species, ownership history, wildlife-trade controls, animal-health restrictions, transit permissions and carrier acceptance can all change the options. Some movements may not be feasible.
For a bird enquiry, include the common name and, if known, the scientific name in the breed/species field. Do not send permit scans at this stage. Any CITES review must use the relevant national management authorities; a wildlife permit does not replace animal-health or airline approval.

Moving with your family or for work?
Coordinate your pet’s preparation with your own relocation schedule, but avoid assuming that the pet can use the same flight or arrive on the same day. Ask how owner travel dates, a change of ownership, the number of animals or an unaccompanied move affect the applicable process.
Keep one agreed responsibility list: your veterinarian, required authorities, the operating carrier and any service provider named in the written scope. Plan who can receive the pet if your own travel is delayed. Temporary accommodation should explicitly accept the animal; no destination boarding or partner is implied by this page.

Questions before you commit.
Can my pet travel in the cabin?
It depends on the operating airline, animal, size, container and itinerary. Cabin, accompanied hold and cargo are different arrangements. Request confirmation for every flight sector; do not assume a passenger ticket includes pet acceptance.
How much does international pet relocation cost?
There is no verified universal tariff here. Compare a written quote with separate transport, container, veterinary, document, clearance and any quarantine or boarding charges. Use the itemized cost guide.
How far ahead should I start?
Start before booking travel. Requirements and waiting periods depend on the animal’s history, origin, destination and transit. Some preparations take months; an enquiry cannot shorten a statutory waiting period.
Is an enquiry a booking or an approval to travel?
No. A received enquiry begins a review. Price, availability, documents, carrier acceptance and booking terms still need confirmation.
Is this the right form for a domestic move?
For travel within India, use the domestic pet relocation guide or the Delhi pet service page. This form is for international reviews.
