How each relocation is organised

The process begins when the client provides their pet's details and travel plans. From there, the company draws up a personalised plan, agrees a schedule with the owner and explains what procedures must be carried out and by when. The team handles the documentation required by the exporting airline and the import permits needed at the destination. The company stresses that planning veterinary procedures, particularly vaccinations, aims to prevent the animal from travelling in poor health.

Delivery and collection options

Passport For Pets offers several options for delivering the animal. The owner can take it to the company's secure facility near London Heathrow Airport, from where the team takes over the rest of the process. There is also the option of collection from home or from boarding facilities and breeders, as well as the door-to-door service, in which the company collects the pet from the home and handles all the details through to the final destination. The company states that it operates from most major UK airports.

Carriers and regulatory compliance

The firm points out that many of its transit carriers are custom-made to each animal's dimensions and comply with IATA regulations. The company declares itself a member of IATA and IPATA and compliant with DEFRA requirements and IATA live animals regulations. Its working principles include detailed planning, personalised care and the safety and comfort of the animal throughout the journey.

Common destinations

The company relocates pets worldwide and lists as its most frequent routes those departing from the UK to Australia, the United States, Europe, Dubai, Canada, Hong Kong, Thailand and New Zealand.
