Every consultation is tailored to your specific itinerary and pet. We review your destination country's import requirements, your airline's pet policy, health certificate timing and USDA endorsement, breed-specific restrictions, carrier size and crate standards, and any quarantine rules that may apply. You leave with a clear, step-by-step action plan.
We recommend booking at least 8–12 weeks before your travel date for international moves — many countries require health certificates issued within a specific window, and USDA endorsement alone can take 1–3 weeks. For domestic travel, 4 weeks is typically sufficient, but earlier is always better to avoid rushed paperwork.
Pet Travel Talk specializes in consultation and planning. We help you understand exactly what needs to happen and when — documents, vet visits, bookings, crate training, and logistics. For full-service pet transportation and relocation, our sister company Across The Pond Pets handles end-to-end transport.

Have the following ready: your pet's breed, age, and weight; your intended travel dates and destination country; your airline or route if already booked; and any existing vet records or vaccination history. The more detail you bring, the more actionable your session will be.
