How Does Pet Relocation Service Work?

A major hassle for traveling for long durations or relocating to a new place involves importing or relocating one's pets. The paperwork and other formalities related to pet transportation are very confusing and time-consuming. This is something that people who are shifting, can’t seem to handle properly, especially when they are already overworked with other complications related to shifting.

Pets like dogs do not like to be placed in uncharted territories without familiar faces and pets are not allowed to travel in airplanes or other modes of public transports. This means that in most cases the pets and their owners travel separately which becomes a cause of distress for most pets and pet owners alike. Dogs get most uncomfortable and agitated when they are thrown in an unfamiliar situation which is why excellent dog shipping is needed to protect your dog from stress.

Knowing that your pets are in good hands assures the pet owners about the safety of their beloved cats, dogs, and other pets.  It takes 2-3 days to navigate all formalities that allow you to fully finish the pet relocation process. Most people do not have the time or expertise to perform these tasks. It takes days on end to sort through the logistics of vet check-ups, cargo booking, and obtaining permissions from airlines and government authorities. Therefore, to help people in assisting or simply overtaking this aspect of shifting, there are many pet relocation services in Delhi that have come up in recent times.

These companies have travel and shifting experts who know all nuances of transporting pets and dog transport services. These experts make sure that your pets are well taken care of during long hauls of travel and all paperwork is in place. They take care of all precautions that ensure your pets do not feel travel anxiety and cross long distances with as fewer hardships as possible. Before giving your relocation responsibility to any agency make sure that the agency is trustworthy and has a good record.

Here are two steps that explain how pet relocation services work: 

  1. Collecting your pet: The first step of pet relocation is collecting your pet from a given address and taking the pet to the airport in a special pet taxi. Upon reaching the airport, the pet is boarded in the flight. The agency signs and collects all the documents at the airport on your behalf. 
  2. Receiving your pet: Once the flight reaches another airport, the relocation company gathers your pet from the cargo and after fulfilling the closing formalities leaves for a mutually decided destination from where you can reunite with your pet. 

 In the middle of these two major steps, lie many small details such as booking the pet cargo numbers in accordance with the flights of the owners, the logistics of transferring the pets from airports, etc. If your pet has special needs such as administering of medicines or need for medicated meals then those needs are also taken care of.  The company takes care of kernel numbers and keeps you up to date about the travel trajectory.

A major step of pet relocation service is authenticating and collecting important documents that are needed for the transfer. Some of these documents are:

  • Vaccination record of the pet (that includes rabies). This record should be updated at least thirty days before the designated travel dates. 
  • The micro chip-proof of your pet. 
  • Photographs of your pet. 
  • Health certificate from a veterinary, this has to be obtained at least seven days before travel. 
  • Veterinary health certificate from a government authorized veterinary clinic. 
  • Animal quarantine certificate (in case of importing an animal, quarantine certificate will be given by the company that imports the animal) 

If you are looking for importing a pet then you must acquire a clearance certificate from animal quarantine agencies. Animal quarantine is an important practice that needs to be strictly followed by everyone who is importing animals. Indian agencies are very particular about making sure that the animals that are entering the countries have no diseases or infections. Dogs are specially checked for diseases; therefore, it is important to pick the best company from an array of dog transport services.

Every time a pet is transferred, one gets a No Objection Certificate that states that the animal has cleared a quarantine period and the animal is clear of all diseases and infections. This No Objection Certificate is necessary to prove that your animal is healthy and safe. This certificate labels that the animal is free of diseases like rabies, virus infection, and canine distemper. It becomes difficult to get hold of this certificate so it is better to let a specialized agency take care of it.
