pet immigration to Europe

Pet travelling on airplanes is as safe as human do. Airlines require pets to travel in containers that fit within the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animal Regulations and with specific airline guidelines. All of the regulations and rules are designed to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet while traveling. In some cases, your pet may not be allowed to travel inside the cabin with you. Your pet will travel in a special cargo compartment within the aircraft. This compartment is climate-controlled as well as pressurized, so your pet will be safe and comfortable. It is on the same air circulation system with the cabin.

Our Policy is to transport your pet with the minimum amount of stress involved. We will find the most direct and shortest route available, with the least time spent confined in the cage as possible. Additionally, there are certain products you can purchase, such as aromatherapy oil, which is a natural pheromone to induce a calmer state.

Your pet will be pleased to see you and will probably enjoy a good meal at the end of their flight, but most animals travel very well and relax throughout the flight. There are more than a million pets that fly safely every year worldwide, and the captain will act accordingly if there are any animals aboard.

We can let you know if this is possible when you tell us which airline and when do you wish to trave. We will make every effort to book cargo space on the same flight as your pet. In order to avoid you from paying unnecessary costs, it is suggested to let us check the availability for pets before you book your own flight if you wish to travel on the same flight, at the same time.

It is advised by every airline that pets do not wear any kind of collar while travelling as they are deemed as a choking hazard. However, they will be able to travel in the containers attached to their airline-approved crate in order to be able to refit them when they reach their destination. 

Yes, ticket of your dog/cat can be booked as cargo and can fly alone to most locations in the world.

If your pet is travelling with you inside the cabin, usually, airlines are not allowing pets owners to open the bags and let the pets walk in the cabin base on safety reasons. However, we suggest you to bring the bag to the washroom and let the pets stretch a bit as we understand the needs of the owners. This can prevent your pet from disturbing other passengers and cause problems. Moreover, pet diapers and little bit of dry food is suggested to bring along. If your pet is a cat, you may want to bring a shoe case and some cat litter. When your cat need to use the washroom, you can put the cat litter inside the shoe case, this way you cat would relax more. 

If your pet is travelling as a cargo, unfortunately, you cannot meet your pet during the journey as both passengers and crews are not permitted access  the cargo hold. During refueling and transit stops, passengers will not be permitted access to their pets.

Unfortunately, little accidents sometimes do happen, so the crates are lined with absorbable puppy training pads to help soak up any little accidents that occurs unfortunately. Like humans, your pet may experience a little dehydration during the flight, which will reduce the need for urination. Also, do not feed your pet 5 hours before travel as this may increase the risk of defecation or vomiting.

Yes, the risk is usually higher than normal animals. As they have shorter nose and trachea, the respiratory system is worse than normal animals. In certain months during the year, these kinds of animals are even banned from flying by some airlines, even when travelling as cargo. Following the regulations of IPATA, these animals require more space for ventilation and low temperature difference. As a result, airlines usually suggest owners to have a larger cage for better ventilation.

When you travel with your pet and you both check in at the passenger terminal, this is termed ‘excess baggage,’ however, your pet will still travel in the animal hold. Air Cargo can be used when you travel with your pet or if your pet is traveling without you. Your pet will be checked in through the cargo terminal at your departing airport and the cargo terminals of modern-day airports are used to handling and caring for animals. Some even have specialized rooms for holding animals.

Unfortunately, the cost of a flight for an animal is way higher than a flight for a human. This is due to the handling fee for airports and the size of the animal, also the custom clearing fee. Morover, the rate is also depend on the route, fuel efficiency and the length of the flight. Usually, the longer the flight is, the higher the cost. 

You can be at ease while your pet is travelling as cargo. Your pet will not be stored with other cargo on the plane, instead, it will be placed inside an animal cabin, seperated with other cargo. Same as human cabin, the animal cabin is equiped with temperature controll system , ensuring your pet to have the right body temperature. Last but not least, each pet will have the own space inside the animal cabin. Therefore, they will have enough space for some movement and a good ventilation.
