International Pet Transport| Continental Pet Relocation

International pet transportation and relocation demand a thorough understanding of the importing country's pet regulations. Adequate preparation is crucial, often involving veterinary treatments, permit acquisition, and travel arrangement coordination to meet country import standards. Effective advanced planning can eliminate or drastically reduce quarantine periods in most destinations. Our services include managing all export and import documentation, ensuring your pet arrives with complete and accurate records for swift customs clearance. This entails handling import permits, customs procedures, international health documents, government endorsements, and arranging quarantine reservations when necessary.

To ensure your pet's comfort and safety during air travel, it's crucial to take certain steps beforehand. Pets are sensitive to your emotions, so maintaining a calm demeanor is key. We suggest acquiring your pet's travel crate early to allow them time to adjust. Creating a positive environment with familiar items like a bed, blanket, and toys can help ease their transition. Including an item with your scent, such as a t-shirt, can provide additional comfort. Keeping your pet's vaccines up to date and storing original documentation securely is essential to avoid any issues during the move. For older or snub-nosed pets, a thorough vet exam, including blood testing, ensures they're fit for travel. While some owners consider sedation for anxious pets, it's important to note that airlines don't accept sedated pets due to associated risks. Sedation can lead to disorientation, dehydration, and travel sickness.
