Frequently asked questions
All pets are transported in custom travel crates within the pet cabin of commercial airlines. The pet cabin is dimly lit and set to a temperature of approximately 18deg celsius to ensure your pet is comfortable.

It is recommended that you:

- Do not feed your pet a full meal eight hours prior to the flight as this may cause an upset stomach (a light treat is okay)
- Take your pet for a walk or let your pet stretch its legs before they go into the travel crate
- Ensure your pet drinks plenty of water and is well hydrated
- Ensure your pet's vaccinations, flea treatments and worming are up to date
No. We do not sedate your pet unless specifically recommended by a vet. Pets sedated and travelling at the flying altitude can be susceptible to dehydration, disorientation and travel sickness.
All pets travelling overseas must fulfill the requirements of the receiving country of destination.
Our pet moving consultant will provide you with all immunisation and quarantine requirements well in advance of your pet's travel.
