Why It Matters
Moving abroad is hard enough. Your pet deserves certainty.
One missing document. One wrong crate size. One mistimed vaccination. Any of these can mean your pet doesn't board — or worse, faces quarantine on arrival. We make sure none of that happens.
Vet-validated at every step
Every corridor guide is built on clinical health certificate requirements. We translate veterinary language into clear, timed action steps you can follow.
The right crate, the right airline
IATA crate specifications, airline-specific cargo rules, cabin vs hold decisions — mapped precisely for your pet's breed, weight, and route.
IPATA specialist referrals
When you need a professional to handle it all — we connect you with accredited specialists on your exact corridor. Vetted. Trusted. Commission-free advice.
"Your pet doesn't understand the move. They only understand you. Our job is to make sure the paperwork, the transport, and the arrival are handled perfectly — so you can focus entirely on them."

Who We Are
Our philosophy — your pet comes first.
MovingPetsAbroad was built by a team with 20 years of international experience across 50+ markets. Having worked alongside veterinary networks, global distribution specialists, and pet health institutions worldwide, we created this platform to give every pet owner access to expert guidance previously only available inside large organisations.
We have directly supported thousands of pet health transitions across international corridors — understanding not just the paperwork, but the clinical health requirements, the breed-specific risks, and the nutritional protocols that keep pets healthy through the stress of relocation.
This is not a booking platform. This is expert guidance from a team of pet health and international logistics specialists with two decades of combined experience — now accessible to every family making an international move.

What Pet Owners Say
Trusted by families worldwide.
★★★★★
"I had no idea where to start with moving our cats from Dubai to the UK. The requirements alone were overwhelming. Within 24 hours of submitting my assessment request I had a clear plan and a specialist I trusted. Both cats arrived without a single issue."

★★★★★
"What I valued most was the honesty. They told me upfront that our corridor would take 4-6 months and exactly why. No surprises. Max landed at JFK calm and healthy — which honestly felt like a miracle after all my anxiety."
PM
Pierre M.

★★★★★
"Everyone told us moving a dog to Australia was nearly impossible. The 8-month timeline they outlined scared me at first — but every single step they said would happen, happened exactly as described. Cleared customs first attempt."

Get the health certificate wrong and your pet doesn't board. Get the crate wrong and the airline refuses check-in. We make sure both are exactly right.

Common Questions
The answers you need before you move.
What happens if my pet is rejected at the border?
Border rejection almost always happens due to incomplete or incorrectly timed documentation. Our guidance ensures every certificate is issued by the right authority, within the correct timeframe, and endorsed properly. We also brief you on exactly what inspectors check so there are no surprises. In 20 years of working with international pet health standards, documentation errors are always preventable.
How far in advance do I need to start planning?
It depends entirely on your corridor. Simple routes — such as USA to France or UAE to UK — typically require 4-8 weeks of preparation. Mid-complexity routes involving titre tests — such as UAE to France or UAE to Germany — require 3-5 months due to mandatory waiting periods after the rabies test. Complex routes into Australia or New Zealand require a minimum of 6-12 months. The single biggest mistake pet owners make is starting too late. Request your free assessment the moment your move is confirmed — we will tell you exactly how much time you have.
What is the difference between your guide and the free assessment?
The $99 corridor guide is for confident movers who want a complete, step-by-step reference document they can follow independently. Every deadline, every document, every vet requirement for your specific route. The free move assessment is for those who want an expert in their corner — we build a personalised plan for your pet specifically and connect you with the right IPATA specialist for your corridor. Two different needs, two different products.
Do you handle the move yourselves or work with specialists?
We are an independent guidance and referral platform. We provide expert planning, documentation guidance, and corridor-specific advice — and where physical transport is required, we connect you with IPATA-accredited specialists on your exact corridor. This model ensures you get both independent expert advice and the right hands-on professional — without any conflict of interest.
My pet has a health condition — does that complicate the move?
It can, and this is where our pet health expertise matters most. Beyond the standard documentation, a pet with a chronic condition — kidney disease, diabetes, joint issues, anxiety — needs a specific nutritional and health protocol for the journey. We factor your pet's health profile into every recommendation we make, not just the paperwork. This is what makes our guidance genuinely different from a standard relocation service.
