Airpets International is one of the most well-known pet transport companies available.

Based in Texas, Airpets International (formerly Airpets International) is backed by the USDA and has been in the business since 1985. They ship a wide assortment of animals, so whether you own a dog, cat, turtle, or rabbit, Airpets will help you get your pet where it needs to be. Your furry friend will always be on a pet-friendly flight with temperature-controlled cargo, and the service also offers add-on options like grooming, exercise, and custom crates—so you can give your pet the best experience possible.

Prices depend on how far your pet is traveling, but Airpets International offers both domestic and international pet transportation. Domestic moves start at roughly $1,000, while an international trip will cost you more than $2,000 (there are discounts for military relocations).

The company even has veterinarian care on staff if needed, and offers ground transportation to and from the designated airport. Airpets International is a great choice for your pet’s comfort and peace of mind.

🏷️ 5% Savings Offer – Official Terms & Conditions

1. Who Is Eligible

Customers are eligible for the 5% savings only if they:

  • Have completed a booking call with an AirPets Pet Travel Advisor; and
  • Have received an updated, personalized estimate following that call.

This means:
✔ A free instant estimate via the form does not by itself qualify someone for the discount – they must complete the call and receive the custom estimate.


2. What Qualifies as a “Personalized Estimate”

A personalized estimate is defined as a tailored relocation quote delivered by a Pet Travel Advisor after reviewing the customer’s:

  • Pet details (species, size, crate needs)
  • Travel timeline
  • Destination and routing needs

The estimate must be electronically delivered to the customer after the call. An email confirmation of a previously sent estimate will suffice.


3. Booking & Call Completion

To qualify:
📞 The customer must schedule and complete a consultation call with AirPets within 14 days of submitting their free estimate request.

📅 Calls must be completed – not just scheduled – for the offer to be valid.


4. Time Limit to Claim Savings

Once the personalized estimate is delivered:
⏳ The customer must confirm their relocation service and sign a travel agreement within 7 calendar days of receiving that estimate to lock in 5% off.

In addition, the non-refundable deposit must be paid within 3 business days of signing the travel agreement to claim the offer.


5. Offers Are Non-Transferable & Non-Combinable

📌 The 5% savings:

  • Are non-transferable (only for the party who completed the estimate call)
  • Cannot be combined with other discounts, promotions, referral credits, or partner offers

6. Offer Validity & Availability

✔ Offer is valid only for new relocation plans, not for changes to existing bookings or already confirmed moves.

✔ AirPets reserves the right to modify or discontinue offer terms at any time, without prior notice.


7. How Savings Are Applied

Once a customer qualifies:
💰 The 5% savings will be reflected in the final invoice total – not the instant estimate – and will be applied at the time the final payment is received.

We would like to warn our clients about pet scams. If someone has reached out to you claiming to be from Airpets International or claiming to have partnered with Airpets International in regards to selling puppies, it is a scam. Airpets International does NOT sell animals. LEARN MORE
