Hi,
I do have some questions: How much will this cost? Can the relocation be timed to match my arrival in the UK? This is to ensure minimum transit and in-crate time for the cat. How is PetRelocation different from airlines like Lufthansa and British Airways? Do you offer more options?
Best Regards
Nitika
Hi Nitika,
Thanks for submitting a question to us, we'd be happy to offer some guidance. First, here are the pet import requirements for the UK. Your cat will need to follow a few rules and show proof of updated vaccines, etc. in order to be admitted to the UK.
Regarding what we do: We provide door-to-door pet transportation services, which means we help plan the pre-move details (like vaccines and paperwork), we book the flight on a pet friendly airline (often British Airways or Lufthansa), oversee customs clearance and arrange transportation to and from the airport on both ends of the trip.
Usually our clients are not on the same flight as their pet, and we try to time the arrival so that it works for the pet owner (often pet parents want to travel first so that they'll have a chance to set up the new house before reuniting with their pet).
Our costs for moving one small pet internationally usually begin at around $2500, however the actual price will depend on several factors. Handling the move yourself will probably be a cheaper option but will simply take more of your time and effort. Reasons people hire us include not having the time to plan a move or feeling overwhelmed by the process and wanting to leave the details to an experienced team.
We'd be happy to chat if you have more questions for us, Nitika. Either way, good luck with everything!
