How much does it cost to ship a pet internationally?

Most international pet relocations cost between $1,500 and $6,000, and $3,000–$10,000+ for complex destinations with quarantine such as Australia. FlyMyPet shows you an exact, all-inclusive price instantly online.

Is it safe to fly my dog or cat in cargo?

Yes. Pets fly in a temperature-controlled, pressurised section of the aircraft, in an IATA-approved crate, with professional handling at every step. FlyMyPet tracks the journey door to door.

What documents does my pet need to fly?

Typically an ISO microchip, an up-to-date rabies vaccination, a government-endorsed health certificate, and an import permit for the destination country. We arrange all of it.

How far in advance should I book?

Start 4–8 weeks ahead for most countries, and several months for destinations with quarantine or long rabies-titre waiting periods like Australia and New Zealand.

What size crate does my pet need?

The crate must let your pet stand, turn around and lie down naturally. Our quote tool sizes the crate automatically from your pet's breed, and snub-nosed breeds get extra room.

Do you handle door-to-door collection and delivery?

Yes. We can collect your pet from home and deliver to the final address at destination, plus optional boarding, customs clearance and vet coordination.

Can you move snub-nosed breeds?

Yes, with extra care. Some airlines restrict brachycephalic breeds, so we match you to a pet-safe carrier and a larger, well-ventilated crate.
