Expert Support for Overseas Military Pet Travel

Okinawa, Germany, Italy, Hawaii — no matter where duty calls, we’re familiar with the pet import rules, quarantine requirements, and customs processes of major PCS destinations. We prepare everything early, so your pet avoids delays or denied entry. As a thank-you for your service, we also offer a military discount on qualifying pet moves.

Proven PCS Pet Relocation Experience

For decades, we’ve helped military families move pets safely during domestic and international PCS orders. Our team understands the paperwork, timelines, and challenges that come with military relocations, especially when orders change unexpectedly.

Help When Deployment or Schedule Changes Affect Travel

PCS moves aren’t always predictable. If you deploy early, need to travel ahead of your family, or can’t accompany your pet on the flight, we can coordinate travel for you. We routinely handle relocations when the service member is already overseas.

Safety-Focused Transport & Timely Communication

When pets and their families take different routes, clear communication matters. We share updates as your pet moves from one stage to the next and follow strict safety standards—from IATA-compliant carriers to weather-appropriate routing—so you never have to worry about their well-being.

We’re here to get your pet there safely.

The Heavy Lifting Behind Every Successful PCS Pet Move

PCS moves usually bring tight timelines, last-minute changes, and a new set of rules to sort through. We know how much pressure that puts on families, especially when precious pet cargo is involved.

For over 30 years, we have helped thousands of service members relocate everything from snub-nosed breeds to exotic animals with precision and care.

"This was my first time moving with an animal. Due to my husband being military it isn’t always easy so a year prior I reached out to AirPets to start planning getting my dog off island. They worked with me every step of the way to answer my countless questions and everyone worked so hard to make sure my boy got to my in-laws safe and sound! We paid for door-to-door service and they helped ease my mind that he was safe and happy."
