Traveling over the holidays? How to fly with your pet.

The first thing you can do is set the time and date for travel. There are so many other things to be taken care of when traveling for holidays - packing your luggage, making a travel plan, listing out places to be visited and things to be done, ticket and hotel bookings, etc. To reduce some of the burden, you find it easy to leave your pet in a boarding facility. But, as you consider your pet as a part of the family, also consider your pets and their needs during your holiday travels. If you are relocating during the holiday season, be prepared for additional travelers, additional time, and perhaps additional hassles.  A trusted pet relocation company can handle most of the hassles of moving your pet over the holidays.

You may have to do a little extra homework and start planning well in advance. If you wait until the last minute before the holidays, you may find yourself facing a number of obstacles. You probably have numerous things to worry about, so plan carefully and outline all the travel needs for your pets. There are pet shipping companies that have experts who have the experience of safely moving pets all over the world and understand the rules and regulations around moving pets internationally.

Perhaps things will go smoothly, but just in case they don’t, it’s better to be prepared for adjustments or changes in your plans, if necessary. 

  

Long queues and lots of rushing in the airports are common during the holidays. When you are traveling to another country, your pet needs to meet the health requirements of the country you are visiting. A veterinarian can help you work through the pet export process. You will need a health certificate, proof of updated vaccinations, complete disease testing, and paperwork reviewed by authorized persons.

    

While moving pets to or from Panama or to or from any other country, there may be some re-entry documents required, based on where you traveled. It is recommended that you go through the pet import requirements beforehand. 

If you feel uncomfortable completing this process on your own or  you are not present during the export process, there are experienced pet shipping companies that specialize in handling all this legal work and will ensure a safe move. Some of the international pet shipping services you can expect from a trusted company are the following:

 • Airport pet customs clearance

 • Worldwide pet shipping

 • Door-to-door pet relocation

 • Corporate pet shipping

 • Rabies tests for Europe & other countries

It is great to include beloved pets in your family fun. Taking your cats or dogs with you on holidays is a pleasing experience for you as well as your pet. And don’t forget that international pet relocation companies can assist in the arduous tasks associated with moving pets to and from countries so that you all can enjoy a blissful holiday time.
