EASY+: Door-to-Door Pet Transport
EASY+ is your stress-free, door-to-door pet transport service created for pet owners who want complete peace of mind from the moment their animal is picked up to the moment they are safely delivered. Whether you are moving abroad or simply traveling internationally, at Air Transport Animal, we ensure your pet is cared for with kindness at every step.
Specially adapted to the context of relocation, this package, like the PREMIUM package, is one offering the door-to-door transportation of your pet.
A pet taxi will pick up your pet from your home, a hotel, etc., and will deliver them to a drop-off address of your choice. The transportation of your dog or cat starts at your home, and you will meet up with them again in a totally new environment!
With the well-being of your pets a constant priority, we will make their trip as pleasant as possible, while facilitating your own.
Your dog, cat or another pet will then be able to travel to Hong Kong, Montreal, New York, Dubai or Sydney, amongst many other cities in the world!

Travel arrangements will depend on your pet’s size, weight, airline rules as well as requirements from the destination country. Small pets, as well as service dogs, may travel in-cabin with you, while larger pets, exotic pets and specific breeds are often required to fly in the temperature-controlled cargo hold.
In order to be allowed on board and comply with both the airline and destination country’s policies, you pet will need to:
- Be microchipped (or tattooed if accepted by the country he is travelling to)
- Have up-to-date vaccinations (including rabies vaccination)
- Have a pet passport or official vaccination record (depending on destination)
- Be issued a health certificate by an accredited veterinarian
Please note that pets travelling abroad should be in good health and old enough to travel (usually over 10 weeks). Airlines may have size limits and pet carrier requirements. Each country may have specific rules such as import permits, quarantine, or veterinary inspections, so advance planning is essential.
We have written a complete guide explaining the rules and tips for taking the plane with pets. Do not hesitate to read it or contact us for further information on the requirements to go abroad with your pets.
Choosing the right travel crate is essential as it allows your pet to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Measure length, height, and width carefully, and ensure the crate meets airline and International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards. Include familiar items for comfort, and check ventilation, security, and adaptability for growing pets.
For more information, you can ready our guide how to choose the ideal transport cage for your pet or contact our team to get advice.
