Every Pet Is a VIP

Cats prefer not to travel but will manage their stress. When cats arrive, they may disappear for hours in your new home as they work to return to themselves. Some cats will exit their kennel as if nothing has happened. Our best secret remains one of your well-worn tee shirts to accompany your pet inside the travel kennel. Hiding little treats also helps us feel better.

Many dogs love to travel and that extends to acceptance of air travel. Our services include pet health document organization to reuniting you with your dog in the terminal or at your new home. We love to meet new dogs and cater to pets in transit by providing walks, play time, supper, and even grooming. Please call our office if your pet will be in transit in Los Angeles.

Pets that are older, large or too afraid to travel by air also have ground transportation options available. Nervous pet parents sometimes prefer that their pet avoids flying when possible, whether by ship, van, or car. We will be able to provide assistance with any pets in need, we also build custom IATA compliant CR82 kennels for the largest dogs.

Some countries issue pets a passport at birth to record the long list of requisite vaccines a pet must have in order to enter another country. This helps establish a vaccination timeline. Pet passports are not required to travel but the European Union will often accept them in lieu of documents.

Complex issues can result from import permits and health documents when that are filled out improperly. It is very important to double check all of your pets’ documents for clerical, calendar date, and data errors. This information can then be compared to the detailed import requirements your pet will have to abide by.

SC Pet Transport will review then double-check these documents for compliance requirements for smoother travels.

In addition to the timing of multiple events, pet itineraries can depend on multiple import permits, documents, and health records. And it all is done in collaboration or to the demands of multiple agencies.

We can manage all or parts of your pet’s travel for you, and often our experience and the personal relationships we have at multiple agencies can make a real difference if things don’t go according to plan.

The process for transporting live animals with care ultimately depends on the people who help see your pet to their new home. When you leverage the relationships and knowledge of SC Pet Transport, you are also engaging a team that truly cares about animals and their well-being. Contact our pet travel specialists today.

Some countries may require up to three months in order to obtain a pet import permit. There may also be mandatory quarantine time when the pet arrives no matter how many documents and permits are provided.

The majority of pet travel itineraries require seven to fourteen days to research, confirm, and book.

This means your pet will be expected at their destination and people are waiting.  SC Pet Transport is able help you with the heavy lifting of finalizing your pet travel itinerary even it is driving them home ourselves.
