There are several ways for pets to travel abroad:
1. Air consignment
- In-cabin：Pets traveling in the cabin must fly with an adult passenger and travel in an airline compliant carrier stowed under the seat.
- Checked Baggage：Pets traveling with a passenger that are not permitted in the cabin can be transported as checked baggage in the cargo hold.
- Manifest Cargo: Unaccompanied or very large pets will travel as manifest cargo in the hold.
2. Professional pet transportation company
- If you are not familiar with the process of pet transportation abroad or want to reduce your burden, you can consider entrusting a professional pet transportation company. These companies provide one-stop services, including handling all necessary procedures, arranging transportation, etc. Although the cost is high, it can greatly simplify the process and reduce the risk of problems for pets during transportation.

3. Sea transportation
- For large pets that are not suitable for flying, or when owners wish to use more economical transportation methods, sea freight can be chosen. However, sea transportation takes a long time and not all countries accept pets entering by sea, so sufficient investigation and preparation need to be done in advance.
4. Land transportation
- If the destination is nearby, you can also choose land transportation methods such as cars. This method puts less pressure on pets and allows owners to take care of them at any time. However, cross-border land transportation may involve complex border procedures and also require advance preparation.
Precautions
- Regardless of the method used, it is necessary to handle necessary procedures for pets in advance, such as vaccination, health check ups, pet passports, rabies antibody testing, etc.
- Depending on the destination country, pets may also require microchip implantation, specific health checks, or quarantine.
- It is necessary to understand in advance the specific requirements of the destination country for pets entering the country, ensure that all procedures are complete, and avoid situations where pets are refused entry or forced to quarantine.
Each method has its own characteristics and applicable scenarios. Owners need to choose the most suitable method based on their actual situation and needs, as well as the health status and personality traits of their pets.
Although international pet transportation may involve some cumbersome procedures and processes, everything is worth it for our furry children.
