Military PCS

PCS orders move fast — we move faster. We build your pet's relocation around your report date, handle every document, and help you claim your DoD pet relocation reimbursement (up to $550 for CONUS moves and $2,000 for OCONUS moves under current JTR policy).

The Process

Every relocation follows the same four-stage process — consultation, documentation, travel preparation, and door-to-door delivery.

I

Consultation

We review breed, age, health and itinerary, then design the most direct, welfare-first routing for your companion.

II

Documentation

Import permits, health certificates, rabies titres and customs filings — prepared, endorsed and pre-filed on your behalf.

III

Travel Preparation

We source the correct travel crate, acclimate your pet to it, arrange boarding if needed, and complete pre-flight welfare checks.

IV

Door-to-Door Delivery

Ground courier to departure, monitored air freight, customs clearance on arrival, and final delivery to your new home.
