Video Tip of the Month: Corporate Relo


How do companies handle pet relocation as part of their global mobility programs? Ignoring pets can be a deal-breaker for employees who consider their pets as family members. In our experience about 50 percent of companies provide pet relocation benefits for dogs and cats.

At Your Service

We've moved over 100,000 pets all over the globe and we've learned a thing or two about services that reduce stress for Fortune 500 employees, service members with PCS orders and families. That's why we offer a menu of concierge services that fits every family and every move.


Our concierge services include streamlined health certificates. Perfect for pets who are small enough to travel in cabin. Check out our U.S. Customs clearance, airport concierge and mobile app. We also build custom and kennel extensions for pets we move across the U.S. or around the globe.

Pet Moving Made Easy® VIP to Budget Book & Fly

Pet Moving Made Easy® is our passion and our promise to you. You may not know that digging the details is in our DNA. Everyone on our pet moving team is a logistics expert at heart. We back them up with an extensive client service system and a new mobile app.


Every client gets to know their pet move manager personally. Our pet movers give clients their office and cell numbers. Clients can communicate—even after business hours--using email or the app.

Clients choose from three service levels. (https://airanimal.com/pricing-pet-moves.cfm)

  • VIP Door-to-Door is our most popular option. We include residential pickup and delivery at the destination, airport terminal services, commercial airline cargo charges and health certificate reviews.
  • Pet Express works well for clients who can take their pet to the airport before they leave or pick up their pet at the destination airport. It includes residential pickup at origin or destination residential delivery, commercial airline cargo charges and health certificate reviews.
  • Book & Fly is our self service option that works well for budget-minded clients. Book & Fly works best when a friend or family member delivers and picks up the pet on each end of the flight. The basic package includes commercial airline cargo charges, pre-flight checklist guide and health certificate reviews. Book & Fly clients deliver and pick-up their own pets at the airport cargo offices.


Like flights for people, pet moving costs are based on service level, concierge services requested, the weight of the pet inside the travel kennel and the length of the flight. We post our domestic  and international pricing online along with details about our service levels.

We’re all about the details, clear communication and getting your pet to your new home safely.

Don’t see the information you’re seeking on airanimal.com? Our intake coordinators are often available through LiveChat on the website. You can give us a call. If you have details about your upcoming relocation, request an estimate online.When you request an estimate, your pet mover will give you access to our new mobile app.


Hawaii Cuts Stateside Quarantine by 66%


Aloha! Beginning Aug. 31, 2018 the at-home mainland quarantine for dogs and cats entering Hawaii will be 30 days from the day the rabies antibody blood test (FAVN-OIE) reaches the testing lab. That’s down from 120 days.


The shorter time frame means veterinary appointments for the required additional vaccinations and parasite treatments must be completed more quickly. Turning the details over to one of our expert pet movers will reduce your stress, and our online app streamlines documentation. Our friend Tank traveled to Hawaii.

Please note Guam still requires a 120-day stateside at-home quarantine.
