Great opportunities for pet relocation PROFESSIONALS

Relocation services are availed for domestic pets by new genre pet parents who are resolutely reluctant to abandon their pets when they relocate to other cities or countries

The rising purchasing power and sensitivity to nature and animals of the growing number of pet parents who pamper their four-legged companions with the very best products and services, has opened up business opportunities for pet relocation specialists, a uniquely 21st century career option for animal lovers and aficionados.

Relocation services are availed for dogs, cats, fish and birds by new genre pet parents who are resolutely reluctant to abandon their pets when they relocate to other cities or countries. These animal management specialists make the arrangements — kennelling requirements, pet import/export paperwork, flight bookings, veterinary documentation, quarantine regulations, airline/shipping and doorstep delivery — for pets to travel with pet parents or get transported as cargo. In premium cases, pet relocation professionals travel with pets to provide doorstep delivery.

Inevitably, pet relocation professionals prosper in developed OECD countries. According to the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA), a global network of relocation specialists, over 2 million pet animals are airlifted annually in the US, and 4 million worldwide. In 2024, the US-based United Airlines transported 161,000 pets within the US and abroad.
