IMPORTANT INFORMATION

These companies handle pets with the expertise needed to ensure their safety and well-being during transport. They manage all aspects, including required documentation, health checks, and choosing the best flight routes for your pet.

Regulations and Documentation: Shipping pets internationally comes with numerous regulations depending on the destination country. These can include:

• Health certificates: Required for proof of vaccination, health checks, etc.
• Import/export permits: Depending on the destination country.
• Rabies vaccination: A common requirement for many countries.
• Microchip: Some countries require pets to be microchipped for identification.

Choosing a Pet Transport Service: If you’re looking to use UPS for logistics and transportation, you will likely need to go through a third-party pet transportation service that handles the logistics for you. They will arrange for your pet’s travel via air freight or cargo services, ensuring all safety measures and legal regulations are followed.

• Prepare Required Documentation:

  • Ensure that your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped (if required), and has the necessary paperwork like health certificates and import permits.

• Packaging and Crating:

  • Pets must be placed in IATA-approved pet crates for safe transport. Crates should be secure, ventilated, and large enough for the pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

• Booking and Scheduling:

  • Schedule the shipping with the pet transport company. The third-party company will work with UPS logistics and select the best flight or route for your pet.

• Monitor and Track the Shipment:

  • Once the pet is shipped, you can track the shipment’s progress through the partner service and get updates until the pet arrives safely at its destination.
