Pet Relocation Update from Air Animal Pet Movers: Europe, Middle East and Africa
Moving pets overseas really is pet immigration, so some things are always true. Rules differ in every country. Regulations change often. Do-it-yourself international pet moves are nearly impossible.
TAMPA, Fla., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cory Robinette, Air Animal COO, often speaks with relocation moving company executives and Fortune 500 human resources leaders. "Recently, an executive summed up our conversation about moving pets overseas. She said, 'Oh, you're talking about pet immigration and people immigration.' I replied, 'Yes! Exactly."
Moving pets overseas really is pet immigration, so some things are always true.
1. The rules in every destination country are usually different.
2. Regulations in those countries change all the time—sometimes with little warning.
3. Hiring Air Animal can save you time and frustration because Air Animal keeps track of truisms 1 and 2.
Airline capacity to relocate immigrating pets has plummeted over the last 13 months for two reasons.
1. Airline flights are not fully booked with passengers or cargo. So, they cancel flights—often with little notice to anyone.
2. Cargo space used for pets is now booked to ship COVID vaccines around the world.
Air Animal's experienced pet movers work closely with clients to move immigrating pets while navigating every air capacity challenge imaginable.
The Biggest Challenges for Pet Immigration Right Now
Many countries requiring quarantine are booked months in advance. Why? Because of layoffs and COVID illness among the staff. And, because pet owners returning to their home countries bring multiple pets. Also, some countries close pet entry on weekends and national holidays.
