City to city

Moving a dog or cat between Indian cities

People treat it as the easy one. The airline still has to agree to carry him, the crate still has to fit, and the road leg is often the longest part. Allow 4 to 8 weeks.

How it works.

For cities with flights, everything depends on which airlines will carry your pet on that sector, for that breed, in that month. For places away from a main airport, we make special arrangements to get him to the nearest one by road.

Our people are with your pet on the road at both ends, and at the airport up to the handover. On a domestic move that's a bigger share of the whole day than on an international one.

The airline rules still apply. Several airlines won't take snub-nosed dogs and cats, heat limits close some months, and some carriers want extra steel mesh on the crate. We don't sedate.

The file for Within India

  • A crate sized for your pet to the airline's specification.
  • The airline's own acceptance and paperwork for your sector.
  • Municipal registration in your new city, where it applies.

All of this sits on top of the standard export file.

Quarantine: None

There's no border to cross, so no quarantine. Registration in your new city is municipal, and we check the rule for yours.

The thing that moves the date

The road leg. For a family away from a main airport, the drive is the longest stretch he spends in transit, so we plan it as carefully as the flight.

Tell us about him.

The quickest way is a message. Both of these open with it already written, from what you picked above, and a founder answers.
