Veterinary Documentation Management
This service solves the administrative load that often slows down international moves.

DEFRA and SAG Compliance Preparation
Moving a pet from the UK means DEFRA oversight, and entering Chile requires approval from the Agricultural and Livestock Service. We manage both sets of requirements. Our team monitors regulation updates and checks your case against the full list of entry conditions. We prepare your pet’s paperwork so it aligns with both authorities and arrange the final veterinary appointment needed before departure.
This service removes confusion over compliance rules and ensures your pet’s travel remains aligned with both countries’ expectations.
Flight Routing and Crate Coordination
Direct flights from the UK to Santiago, Chile, are uncommon for pets, so routing must be mapped with precision. Our team selects routes with credible connections, pet-friendly airline policies and predictable temperature patterns. We oversee booking approvals with the airline’s live animal department and prepare crate requirements that match airline and IATA regulations.
Your pet’s crate must offer correct sizing, ventilation and hardware. We manage all specifications and supply guidance on acclimation so the crate becomes a familiar and low-stress space before travel.
