Introduction
International pet shipping is one of the most complex logistical challenges a pet owner can face. From pet passports to quarantine laws, the rules are constantly changing. Here is what you need to know for 2025.
The Paperwork Marathon
Every country has different entry requirements. The EU requires a microchip, rabies vaccination, and a specific health certificate. Countries like Australia and New Zealand have strict quarantine periods. Start this process at least 6 months in advance.
Choosing an IPATA Member
For global pet transport, it's highly recommended to work with a company that understands international regulations. While we specialize in domestic transport, we can guide you on the domestic leg of your international journey to the departure airport.
Crate Requirements
International airlines are extremely strict about crate sizing. Your pet must have ample room to stand without their ears touching the top. We can help you measure your pet to ensure you have the correct travel kennel.
