At Pets Abroad we specialise in handling every aspect of pet relocation and getting our Pawsengers to their new destinations abroad happy and stress-free.
Pets Abroad will assist you every step of the way to get your pets to their destination of choice with ease.
We will provide you with an IATA Approved wooden travel crate that will be a suitable size for your pet, based on their measurements. The containers come with water bowls, no food is allowed during the flight. We do however suggest that you provide an item of clothing that has your scent, a blanket, and a small soft toy to comfort your pets during their flight.
It is our priority to ensure that we book the most suitable & shortest route to get your pets to their destination in the fastest possible time. We work closely with our freight agents to find you the most suitable flight at the most affordable rate.
We work closely with kennels in the Johannesburg area and can assist you with getting a quotation should your dog require kennelling prior to travelling.
Pets Abroad take care of all aspects of import and export customs for your pets. So you don’t need to worry.
We collect the health certificate and all your pets document from you or your local vet and submit these to the State Vet for endorsement. We will guide you through every step of completing all relevant documentation. We work closely with a vet that specialises in handling all documentation for exports to NZ and AUS which has different requirements to other countries.
We will collect your pets from home on the day of departure, so you can concentrate on getting yourself ready to travel.
We will collect your pets from home on the day of departure. Our staff spends quality time with them at the airport, giving them lots of love & walking them, giving them time to stretch their legs and do their business before heading to their new home abroad.
By following this step by step guide to pre-relocation requirements, you will have your pets ready for relocating within the estimated departure time.
If your pets are not yet Micro-Chipped, this would be your 1st Priority. All destinations require pets to be microchipped with an ISO internationally recognised micro-chip. Please make sure that your vet of choice is using the recognised micro-chip from either VIRBAC-BACK HOME or IDENTIPET.
All pets need the 5 in 1 vaccination for Dogs and the 3 in 1 Vaccination for Cats. This can be done by your local vet.
All pets are required to have an up to date Rabies Vaccination. This can also be done by your local vet.
Pets relocating to NZ, AUS or EU need to have the Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre Test. This can only be done 30 days after the Rabies vaccine. There is a 90-day wait after this test until your pet can travel.
There are some countries that require extra blood tests and treatments in addition to the above. We can provide this information on your request.
