Expat Pet Relocation Packages
When your life moves countries, your pet moves with you. There is no margin for error.
Relocating overseas is already loaded with paperwork, deadlines, and unfamiliar rules. Adding a pet to that equation multiplies the pressure immediately. Expat Pet Relocation Packages exist for one reason: to remove risk, confusion, and last-minute panic when animals cross borders with their owners.
Pets Lets Travel provides Expat Pet Relocation Packages built for people relocating permanently, on assignment, or returning home with animals that are not optional baggage. We handle the technical process that airlines, border officials, and veterinary authorities expect to see done properly. You keep your focus on the move itself.
Our Services
International pet relocation is not a single task. It is a sequence of approvals, timing windows, document validation, and logistics coordination. Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages are structured so nothing is left loose or assumed.
Each service below addresses a specific failure point that causes delays, refusals, or animal distress.
International Compliance Planning
Every country sets its own animal entry rules, quarantine triggers, and document formats. One missing detail can invalidate weeks of preparation. Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages begin with compliance planning based on destination requirements, airline policies, and transit country controls.
This service covers entry conditions, breed restrictions, vaccination sequencing, blood testing schedules, and document timing so nothing expires mid-process. It prevents situations where pets arrive but cannot clear customs.
For families relocating on fixed visas or work permits, this planning protects the move date and avoids rescheduling flights under pressure.
Veterinary Documentation Coordination
Airlines and border authorities do not accept informal paperwork. They require correctly issued veterinary certificates, endorsements, and supporting records that match exact formats.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include document coordination with approved veterinarians and official authorities. We review every record for consistency, accuracy, and compliance before submission.
This service removes uncertainty around health certificates, export forms, vaccination records, and translations when required. It also ensures documents align with airline check-in systems to prevent refusals at departure.
Airline Booking and Pet Cargo Management
Pet travel is governed by airline-specific policies that change frequently and vary by route. Some allow accompanied travel. Others require manifest cargo handling.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include airline selection, flight routing assessment, seasonal embargo review, and booking coordination based on animal safety and regulatory acceptance.
This service avoids high-risk routes, incompatible aircraft types, and last-minute rejections at the cargo terminal. For owners relocating with multiple animals, it ensures bookings are synchronised properly.
IATA Travel Crate Preparation
Incorrect crates are a common reason pets are denied boarding. Airlines require strict compliance with size, ventilation, construction, and security standards.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include crate specification guidance and preparation checks aligned with airline and IATA rules. We ensure the crate fits the animal correctly and meets inspection standards.
This reduces stress at check-in and avoids situations where pets are held because crates fail inspection moments before departure.
Customs Clearance and Arrival Handling
Arrival is not automatic once the plane lands. Customs officers review documents, verify microchips, and confirm compliance before release.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include arrival-side coordination with clearance agents where required. We prepare documentation packets so officials can process animals efficiently.
This service reduces holding time and confusion at destination airports, especially in countries with strict animal import controls or quarantine oversight.
Quarantine Management When Required
Some destinations impose quarantines based on origin country, vaccination timing, or documentation gaps. When quarantine cannot be avoided, it must be handled correctly.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include quarantine coordination with approved facilities and authorities. We manage admission requirements, scheduling, and owner communication.
This service ensures animals are admitted smoothly and released on schedule without administrative delays.
Multi-Pet and Family Relocation Handling
Relocating with more than one animal introduces complexity that most owners underestimate. Different sizes, species, or ages create layered requirements.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages account for multi-pet movements by aligning documentation, flight planning, and arrival handling across all animals.
This prevents scenarios where one pet clears while another is delayed due to mismatched paperwork or booking conflicts.
Ongoing Case Oversight
International pet relocation is not static. Requirements change, flights shift, and authorities issue updates without notice.
Our Expat Pet Relocation Packages include active case oversight from planning through arrival. We track timelines, verify confirmations, and address issues before they escalate.
This service gives relocating families a single point of accountability instead of managing multiple vendors and agencies independently.
Why Work With Us
Expat Pet Relocation Packages fail when responsibility is fragmented. Owners are told to manage parts themselves, hoping everything aligns at the airport.
We work differently. We operate with full visibility across compliance, documentation, transport, and clearance. That structure reduces errors caused by assumptions and rushed decisions.
Our work is built around how authorities and airlines actually process animals, not how websites describe the process. That distinction matters when relocation dates are fixed, and animals cannot be replaced. This approach suits families relocating permanently, professionals on overseas assignments, and returning expatriates who want clarity rather than reassurances.
Make the Move Without Second-Guessing
International relocation is stressful enough without wondering whether your pet will clear customs or board the flight. Expat Pet Relocation Packages exist to remove uncertainty from a process that does not tolerate mistakes. If you are planning an overseas move and your pet is part of that decision, the next step is simple.
Schedule a consultation or book a call and put the relocation process on firm ground.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early should Expat Pet Relocation Packages start?
Most international relocations require preparation weeks or months in advance, depending on destination rules. Starting early allows vaccination sequencing and documentation timing to align correctly.
Can these packages cover short-term overseas assignments?
Yes. Expat Pet Relocation Packages can be structured for temporary relocations with return planning considered from the beginning.
Are certain breeds restricted from relocation?
Some destinations restrict specific breeds or impose additional conditions. This is assessed during compliance planning before any bookings are made.
What happens if flight schedules change?
We monitor bookings and adjust documentation and routing when schedules shift. This prevents certificates from expiring due to delays.
Can owners travel on the same flight as their pets?
This depends on airline policy and route. We advise on accompanied versus cargo options during planning.
Are cats and dogs handled differently?
Yes. Entry rules, crate standards, and airline acceptance differ by species and sometimes by size.

Arrival handling and clearance coordination are included where required by destination procedures.
What documents usually cause delays?
