Do I need A Pet Travel Company?

There are hundreds of people that move every day and most homes have a least one furry family member.  People are transferred for their jobs.  People graduate and take jobs overseas or they could be part of the military and get new orders to a new country.  Families sometimes have to make a very hard decision on whether or not to move their pets rehome them or leave them with a family member.  This has to be done usually before they decide if they are going to take the new job.  Military families don’t get the option on whether or not they move and take their pets.  

So when that decision is made to make the move and take everyone including Rex or Fluffy a lot of planning has to begin.  World Pet Travel has been doing this for 22+ years.  They are knowledgeable in what the airlines will and won’t let you do and since COVID 19 a lot of rules have changed with taking pets on the airlines.  

Each and every country has their own rules about what is needed for you to bring your pet into that country.  Sometimes it is as simple as a rabies certificate and a health certificate signed by the vet and the USDA.  Yes the USDA has a website and it has a list of specifics for each of those countries.  

So you think, well if the USDA has a website, why do I need World Pet Travel?  Well the list changes for each country and it just tells you what you need to move them to that country.  Some countries require the pets to be quarantined at arrival.  So that is something you have to arrange and how do you do that?  You may need an import permit and you have to have specifics to apply for that permit.  Where and how do you do that?  World Pet Travel deals with these things on a daily basis and they are there to help relieve the stress that you as an owner would be dealing with on top of trying to arrange the move, get packed, find a new home in the new country, and make travel arrangements for the two legged members of the family. 

In some cases travel to a foreign country could take up to 6 months to get your pet ready to go with the different testing that is required and vet visits.  World Pet Travel helps you to understand that by putting together a timeline so that you know exactly what is needed, when it is needed and what the next step is going to be. 

World Pet Travel makes the actual airline bookings for your pets.  World Pet Travel makes sure that your pet is in the correct travel kennel for the flight and that they get checked in correctly for their flights.  As an owner, you are then in a place where you can make sure your family gets checked in for your fights with less worry about  making sure your pets get to theirs. 

World Pet Travel also makes sure that Fluffy and Rex can be cleared through customs when they arrive to the new country and then they can be delivered to you or you can pick them up once they clear customs. 

With COVID19 running through the world a lot has changed in pet travel and it is puzzle that World Pet travel puts together for you with ease.  So when you think about that job transfer or about taking that promotion and moving to China, Australia or Europe, contact World Pet Travel and let them guide you on getting your pets there so you can have the Happiest Reunion Ever!
