Depending on the destination and the airline selected, your pet may be eligible for a comfort stop during long-haul travel. These scheduled breaks provide an opportunity for your pet to be removed from their travel crate, enjoy a short walk around purpose-built facilities (subject to availability at specific locations), and have a toilet break between flight segments. During the comfort stop, your pet will also be offered a light meal and fresh water to ensure they remain comfortable and well-cared for on the next leg of their journey.
Speak to a Jetpets Pet Travel Consultant who will inform you if your pet requires a comfort stop as part of their overseas pet travel journey.
The cost of relocating dogs and cats internationally can vary significantly depending on several factors, including your pet’s size and weight, as well as the origin and destination of travel. When requesting quotations, it is strongly advised to confirm the specific services included to ensure an accurate comparison.
Key considerations when budgeting for international pet relocation include the appropriate crate size, vaccination requirements, export health certifications, and any necessary government permits. A common oversight among clients is the exclusion of destination and customs clearance charges, which can lead to unexpected delays and added stress upon arrival, as these fees must be settled before your pet is released to you at the destination airport.
With over 30 years of international pet transport, our experienced Pet Travel Consultants are available to guide you through every stage of the process, providing transparent information with no hidden charges to ensure a smooth and stress-free relocation experience.
Jetpets adhere to a strict heat policy to ensure your pet does not travel under extreme temperature conditions. During the summer months, we prioritise scheduling flights during the early morning or late evening to avoid peak heat periods.
Regardless of weather conditions, it is essential that your pet remains well hydrated. Upon booking your international travel, our Pet Travel Consultants will provide you with comprehensive information regarding our Pet Welfare procedures to support your pet’s comfort and safety for their journey.
Our Pet Travel Consultants are available to discuss the various options to ensure your pet receives any necessary medications during travel. It is essential that you inform us of any special requirements well in advance, allowing us to develop a suitable travel plan and have it reviewed by our veterinary team prior to departure.
Given that each pet’s health condition is unique, there are no universally established age restrictions for international pet travel. As part of our comprehensive needs analysis, our Pet Travel Consultants will evaluate your pet’s age and current health status. This information will be reviewed by our team of qualified veterinarians to determine eligibility for travel. In certain cases, additional medical examinations may be required to support this evaluation.
When looking to transport your pet overseas it is important to get the right advice from your pet travel consultant. Each country will have different regulations with regard to entry requirements as do airlines, having regulations of their own that must be followed.
With most international moves, there will also be vaccination requirements for entry approvals, and it is important that you speak with our Pet Travel Consultant on your specific puppy or kitten’s age and location you are traveling to.
