MOVING WITH YOUR PET TO CANADA

If you’re planning to move to Canada with your beloved pet, here are the key requirements to consider:

Microchipping

Canada requires all pets to be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785-compliant microchip. Ensure the microchip is registered with accurate and up-to-date owner information for hassle-free entry.

Vaccinations & health certificates

Your pet must have up-to-date vaccinations. For dogs, required vaccinations often include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Cats typically require vaccinations against rabies and feline panleukopenia. A health certificate issued by a certified veterinarian within 10 days of travel is mandatory.

Blood Tests

Rabies antibody tests are not required for pets traveling from rabies-free or controlled-risk countries. However, confirm specific requirements based on your departure country.

IMPORT PERMIT

While an import permit is not generally required for pets traveling from the U.S. or other specific countries, verify requirements based on your location to avoid delays.

QUARANTINE

Canada does not mandate quarantine for pets arriving from most countries if all entry requirements are met.

 

Approved Travel Crates

An appropriate travel crate ensures your pet’s safety and comfort. Crates must meet international standards, providing enough space for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

🏷️ 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
