Preparing Your Pet for International Travel

Preparation is key when relocating pets across borders. Across The Pond Pets works closely with families to ensure every requirement is met long before travel day. This includes scheduling health checkups with accredited veterinarians, making sure all vaccinations are up to date, and securing health certificates recognized by international authorities. Crate training is also recommended, allowing pets to feel comfortable in their travel kennel before departure. By addressing these details in advance, our team helps prevent delays and makes the relocation process smoother for both pets and their owners.
