The answer to this question of "Can I move my pets?" is Yesђ! Moving with a cat or dog (or two or three) to your new location is something that you can accomplish yourselfif you have the time and experience to arrange all the pet transportation details and then act as pet courier and companion through the lengthy pet travel process.
Pet relocation can be a very time consuming, complex process requiring meticulous timing, careful planning, obsessive attention to detail and a gift for logistics. For both domestic and international pet transport, this process can be daunting, and the pet transportation plan is just one part of your entire relocation process!
Since you love your pet, this list of obstacles may not frighten you. After all, as a devoted owner you'll do everything possible to make sure that your pet gets safely to their new location.
Taking on the Pet Transport Challenge
In some situations, being together during the relocation can go a long way towards easing the stress of both pet and owner. In other scenarios, trying to juggle multiple obligations, schedules, and family members can increase the stress level of all involved.
Being your own pet transportation service is possible and a lot cheaper with regards to the total costs. However, sometimes it's pretty risky, especially when international pet shipping arrangements are necessary.
Dog and Cat Travel Tips and Pet Shipping Regulations
Owners who plan on handling their dog or cat relocation by themselves will have to research the relevant laws, guidelines and regulations involved in their specific route and country destination. Our international pet travel map offers current information about the licensing laws, quarantine, paperwork, and vaccination requirements of almost every nation in the world.

Pet Travel Realities
Since each state or district within a country can have a different set of laws and each foreign country having its own regulations, the pet travel learning process can be pretty exhausting. Then add to the mix the airport services, connecting flights and pet transportation logistics, and you can see why it's such a complex process. Keeping detailed notes and phone numbers handy becomes an absolute must for a successful pet relocation.
The all important question becomes: Do you know how to safely and efficiently negotiate the international pet shipping process and are you fully confident that you can get the job done right?
