Our International Pet Relocation Process
Step 1: Personalized Scoping Conversation
We begin with a call or email consultation to understand:
Your destination country
Your pet’s breed, size, and medical history
Your desired relocation date
The level of support you want—from guidance to full service
Step 2: IATA-Approved Travel Kennel Fitting
Your pet must travel in a kennel that meets International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations.

We guide you through kennel acclimation for reduced travel stress
Step 3: Bespoke Relocation Timeline
PTMC reviews your pet’s vaccination records and builds a custom relocation timeline based on:

Your target travel date
This timeline becomes your roadmap—every step sequenced correctly to prevent costly delays.
Step 4: Medical, Permits & Quarantine Coordination

We select pet-safe airlines and book cargo travel when the airline booking window opens (typically 10–30 days prior to departure).
Step 6: Health Certificate & Government Endorsement
PTMC manages one of the most critical steps in international pet travel:
Export health certificate exam with an accredited veterinarian
Official government veterinarian endorsement (USDA or equivalent)
Errors here can cancel a flight—we ensure accuracy and timing.
