Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the process typically take?
Most pet relocations require 2-4 months of preparation, depending on your destination country's requirements. Some countries like Australia or Hawaii may require up to 6 months due to quarantine protocols.
What's the difference between the three services?
DIY Checklists provide all the information you need to handle everything yourself. Guided Plan Pack adds personalized recommendations and airline selection. Personal Pet Travel Coach provides ongoing 1:1 support throughout the entire process.
Do you handle the actual shipping/transport?
We provide guidance and can help coordinate, but we don't directly transport pets. We'll connect you with trusted airlines and transport services, and help you navigate the booking process.
What if my situation is complex or unusual?
The Personal Pet Travel Coach service is perfect for complex cases - military moves, rare breeds, medical conditions, or unusual destinations. We'll work with you to create a custom plan.
Do pets travel in the cargo hold or in a special area of the plane?
Airlines don't just put pets in with the luggage — they travel in a separate, climate-controlled area designed for live animals. It's safe and pressurized, but each airline has slightly different procedures. Our planning guides explain exactly what to expect for your unique journey and route.
Is the cargo area safe, temperature-controlled, and pressurized?
Yes, airlines must meet international safety standards. Pets travel in an area with oxygen, heating/cooling, and pressurization. That said, there are important details about routes and airlines to consider — we walk you through those in our relocation checklists.
Should I tranquilize or sedate my pet before travel?
Generally, sedation is not recommended because it can affect breathing at altitude. Most airlines and veterinarians discourage it. We cover safer alternatives in our preparation tips.
How do I prepare my pet's travel crate to meet airline requirements?
Crates must be airline-approved, properly sized, and set up with specific hardware. There are small but important details (like water bowls, labeling, bedding) that can make or break approval at check-in. Our guides show you how to get it right the first time.
What size crate does my pet need, and how do I measure correctly?
Airlines require precise measurements — height, length, and width of your pet while standing naturally. The right crate size is critical for comfort and compliance. We provide measuring charts and examples in our digital tools.
Can my pet travel on the same flight as me?
Often yes, but not always. Availability, airline policies, and aircraft type all matter. Our planning packs include the questions you'll need to ask the airline in advance.
