Stress-Free International Pet Travel: How Across The Pond Pets Makes It Easy
Traveling internationally with your pet can feel overwhelming. Between airline requirements, veterinary documentation, and import permits, it’s easy to feel lost in a maze of regulations. Fortunately, Across The Pond Pets specializes in simplifying the entire process of pet transportation and relocation. With over a decade of experience, our team of pet travel experts has helped thousands of families ensure their dogs, cats, and other pets travel safely across borders.
Why Professional Pet Travel Assistance Matters
Handling international pet travel on your own can be complicated. Airlines have strict regulations for animal cargo, and each destination country has its own import and vaccination rules. Making a single mistake on your paperwork or vaccination schedule can cause long delays — or even quarantine.
That’s why more pet owners are turning to professional pet relocation services like Across The Pond Pets. Our licensed and experienced agents handle every stage of your pet’s journey — from health certificates and airline bookings to customs clearance and delivery to your new home.

Preparing for Departure: What Every Pet Owner Should Know
Before your pet’s flight, it’s crucial to prepare correctly. From travel crates to vaccination timing, early planning makes all the difference. Our comprehensive Departure Checklist helps pet owners organize key steps before travel — from health exams to comfort items for the crate.
Additionally, make sure to review the latest airline pet policies and destination import regulations. For U.S. travelers, the CDC’s pet import and export guidelines offer detailed information about health certificates, rabies vaccinations, and high-risk country requirements.
Learn More About Pet Travel Documentation
Documentation is one of the most critical parts of international pet travel. Errors or missing details can cause delays at customs or even refusal of entry. That’s why we recommend all pet owners read our guide on Traveling With Pets — a comprehensive resource explaining airline-approved documentation, health forms, and destination rules in detail.
