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.
Welfare checks, hydration and comfort are logged through every leg of the journey — and you receive each update in real time.
