Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our pet travel consultation services.

What exactly does a pet travel consultation cover?

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.

How far in advance should I book a consultation?

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.

Do you handle the transportation itself, or just the planning?

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.

Can you help with breed-restricted or exotic pets?

Yes. Many airlines ban certain brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like bulldogs and pugs in cargo, and some countries have strict rules around specific breeds or exotic species. We'll identify all restrictions specific to your pet and destination and map out compliant alternatives where they exist.

What do I need to prepare before the consultation?

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.

Do you offer follow-up support after the consultation?

Yes — if you have follow-up questions as your travel date approaches, you can reach us by phone at +1-206-317-4515 or through our contact page. For clients who need ongoing support through the full documentation process, we can discuss extended consultation packages.
