Asia Pet Relocation: Top Customer FAQs
- Will My Pet Have to Quarantine in Asia? As New Zealand is a rabies-free designated region, your pet will not need to quarantine, provided all your documentation is perfectly in order. Even places like Singapore with a 7-day and Hong Kong 120-day regulations can be met before you fly. We work with you to ensure your paperwork and medical requirements are 100% compliant to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience for you and your pets.
- How Do You Ensure My Pet's Safety On Such a Long Flight? We only use temperature-controlled and pressurized cargo holds, just like the passenger cabin . As the preferred partner for Air NZ, we choose the most direct routes to minimise pet travel time and prioritise your pet's well-being throughout the journey.
- What Kind Of Pet Travel Crate Do I Need? All crates must meet strict IATA standards to be accepted for international export. We provide custom-sized crates that ensure your pet can stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably—this is non-negotiable for their safety and comfort. We advise an in-person fitting where possible and accurate measurements if not.
- How Far In Advance Should I Plan Moving My Pet To Asia? We recommend starting at least 4 months ahead of your move. Destinations like Japan require 40 days of advance notification to the Animal Quarantine Service, and we manage all of these high-priority deadlines in a step-by-step actionable pipeline for you.
