International pet relocations are done in two ways: with your pet arriving in the country as excess baggage, or as manifested cargo. Beyond that, it is a matter of coordinating with multiple government agencies for the necessary paperwork formalities and fulfilling them.
The average cost for relocating a pet internationally is between 1.2 to 5 Lakh INR. The final cost depends on factors like distance to your destination country, and the breed & size of your pet.
Your pet can only fly in an IAIA-approved fiber crate. If someone attempts to use another crate, airlines are at liberty to deny boarding to them. Therefore, it is important to only choose an IATA-certified fiber crate for your pet travel needs.
For international pet travel from India, you need a valid pet passport, updated vaccination records, a rabies vaccination certificate, a health certificate issued by a government-approved veterinarian, and an import permit for the destination country. In many cases, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Animal Quarantine and Certification Service (AQCS) is also required. Documentation requirements may vary depending on the country you are traveling to.
International pet relocation can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the destination country’s import requirements. Countries with strict pet import rules may require advance vaccinations, blood tests, and waiting periods, which can extend the timeline.
Yes, pets can travel alone internationally as manifested cargo. In such cases, a pet relocation service manages the entire process, including documentation, airline booking, customs clearance, and delivery at the destination. This option is commonly used when pet parents are traveling separately or relocating at different times.
Preparing your pet for international travel involves crate training, ensuring vaccinations are up to date, scheduling a veterinary check-up, and getting your pet comfortable with the travel crate. It is also important to maintain your pet’s routine as much as possible to reduce stress during travel.
An IATA-approved pet crate is a travel carrier that meets the standards set by the International Air Transport Association for safe pet transportation. These crates ensure proper ventilation, secure locking systems, and enough space for your pet to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Airlines only accept pets in IATA-compliant crates for international travel.
