When owners face relocation for the first time, the main question is what happens after contacting specialists. Understanding the step-by-step process helps reduce anxiety before the trip.
Let’s walk through the entire journey from the first consultation to the pet being handed over to the owner.
Initial consultation and information gathering
The process starts with situation analysis. We collect:
- destination country
- flight route
- pet details
- relocation timeline
This helps estimate the scope of preparation.
Route and country requirements analysis
We check requirements of:
- destination country
- transit countries
- airlines
The route directly affects preparation.

A clear plan reduces errors.

On departure day:
