Your pet travel essentials
A practical starting point for planning your pet’s move.
How international pet relocation from India works
International pet travel must meet both destination health rules and airline requirements. Your consultant confirms the microchip, vaccination, test and certificate requirements for your route.
Accompanied baggage or manifested cargo?
Pets may travel with their owner as accompanied baggage or independently as manifested cargo. Availability depends on the airline, route, breed and size.
How far ahead should you plan?
Start early. Routes requiring blood tests and waiting periods can take several months. Your consultant will build a timeline around your destination and travel date.
Bringing pets into India
Health records, vaccinations and any required AQCS clearance are coordinated before arrival. Our customs team supports the import process.

Is air travel safe for my pet?
Air travel is the most common way pets relocate internationally. Pets travel in suitable pressurised, temperature-controlled aircraft compartments, with airline and ground staff trained to handle animals. Your consultant checks the route, carrier and your pet’s travel requirements.
Should my pet be sedated for the flight?
Sedation can be risky at high altitude, and many airlines will not accept sedated pets. Discuss any medication with your veterinarian and airline.
What documents does my pet need?
It varies by country. Vaccination records and a health certificate are almost always required; many destinations also need a microchip, a rabies blood test and an import permit. Our consultants will give you the exact list for your route.
When should I feed my pet before the flight?
Confirm feeding and hydration timings with your veterinarian and airline for your pet and journey. Plan a walk before handover.
How long have you been relocating pets?
Since 2000, to and from countries worldwide, including families moving to India for work or permanently.
