Pet Travel, Animal Relocation & Live Animal Import/Export Services
MyGoToVet provides professional pet travel, animal relocation, and live animal import/export support for individuals, families, breeders, farms, businesses, research institutions and organisations moving animals locally or internationally.
Whether you are relocating a dog, cat, bird, livestock, exotic pet or another legally permitted live animal, our veterinary team helps you prepare the right documents and keep the movement safe, legal and compliant.
Moving animals across borders takes more than booking a flight.
Every country has its own veterinary requirements, import rules, export regulations, health certification process, quarantine conditions, vaccination standards and airline documentation.
Missing one document can lead to travel delays, denied boarding, extended quarantine, rejection at arrival, or unnecessary stress for both the animal and the owner.
At MyGoToVet, we simplify the process with document review, permit support, health certificate guidance, microchipping, rabies documentation, airline preparation and destination-specific compliance.
