What you should know

Animal Travel Requirements

Every animal species has unique needs and must meet specific travel requirements set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This includes the type of crate, feeding schedule, temperature tolerance, documentation, and safety protocols. To ensure the safety and comfort of your animal, it is essential that each pet or live animal is pre-approved before travel.

Why Approval Is Important

All animals must be approved for air travel under IATA Live Animals Regulations. This ensures that your pet or animal is transported safely, humanely, and in full compliance with international guidelines. Failure to meet these standards can result in travel delays or denial of transport.

Plan Ahead - Avoid Travel Disruptions

Animal transport is not something that can be arranged at the last minute. Crates, veterinary checks, quarantine requirements, and airline schedules must all be confirmed well in advance. Avoid stress and unexpected complications by checking requirements with us or your freight agent early in your planning process.
