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.

Built Around Your Report Date

We coordinate every leg of your pet's move — air freight booking, import and export permits, customs clearance and ground delivery, sequenced to land before you check in. From CONUS duty stations to OCONUS postings, we've moved pets to bases across Germany, Japan, Korea and Italy.

  • PCS reimbursement guidance (DoD JTR)
  • Overseas base experience: Germany, Japan, Korea, Italy
  • Breed and airline embargo navigation
  • Timelines built around your report date
