Premium Pet Transport

Our PREMIUM service is designed for pet owners seeking a fully personalized, on-demand solution for international pet transport. With dedicated support at every stage, we ensure comfort, flexibility, and complete peace of mind throughout your pet’s relocation.

With this service, you are in control. The PREMIUM package builds on our EASY+ door-to-door service and lets you choose any additional procedures you need — from vaccination protocols and titration tests to import permits and logistics. You decide the level of assistance; we handle the rest.

Some destinations require long preparation timelines, sometimes up to six months, before your pet can board a flight. During this period, we can board your pet, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while you focus on your move without added stress. This waiting time can also be the perfect opportunity for grooming and extra attention.

From administrative formalities to your pet’s comfort and well-being during travel, we manage every detail from start to finish. Whether you are relocating to Montreal, New York, Dubai, Sydney, Singapore, or any other destination worldwide, you can move forward with complete peace of mind while we coordinate your pet’s journey.

Traveling abroad with your pet requires careful preparation, including up-to-date vaccinations, a valid health certificate, and any necessary import permits. Ensuring your pet meets all airline and destination requirements helps make the journey smooth and stress-free. Read our complete guide on all documents and health requirements for flying with pets on the plane.

Choosing the right kennel is essential for your pet’s comfort and safety during travel.

 

For pets traveling in the cargo hold, IATA-approved hard-sided crates are recommended, providing maximum protection and ventilation.

 

Pets traveling in the cabin may use soft-sided travel bags that fit under the seat, ideal for smaller cats and dogs.

 

Standard kennel sizes vary based on your pet’s weight and dimensions, ensuring they can stand, turn, and lie down comfortably throughout the journey. Read our full guide for detailed guidance on selecting the correct crate size.

Pets are allowed in the cabin only under certain conditions. Typically, they must be small enough to fit comfortably in a soft-sided carrier under the seat, meet airline weight limits, and be accompanied by all required documentation. Small dogs, cats, and service dogs, are generally allowed to travel in-cabin. Larger dogs, most exotic pets and specific breeds are often required to fly in the cargo hold.

Proper preparation makes travel safe and stress-free. Ensure your pet is familiar with its carrier, has up-to-date vaccinations, and has a recent health certificate. Avoid feeding immediately before the flight, provide plenty of water, and keep their routine as normal as possible. Gentle reassurance and short practice trips can help them adjust to the journey ahead.

Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. At Air Transport Animal, every animal travels in compliant carriers and is carefully monitored at every step by our experienced team. From secure loading to climate-controlled cargo and gentle handling, we take every measure to ensure your pet arrives happy, healthy, and stress-free.

We keep you updated at every stage of your pet’s journey. You will receive regular notifications, including pick-up details, flight progress, delivery updates, and even photos, so you can always be confident that your pet is safe and on schedule.
