Animal Relocation
We at Xshipping are experts in animal relocation,
The Live Animals and Perishables Board (LAPB) develops criteria for the acceptance, handling and loading of live animals, perishables and healthcare products in air transportation, as outlined in the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), the IATA Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR) and the IATA Temperature Control.
We use a secure pet carrier or crate that is appropriately sized for your animal. Ensure the carrier is well-ventilated and comfortable, Always secure the carrier with a seatbelt or in a designated area to prevent movement during travel.
Collection & Delivery nationwide for your pet or any other type of animal.
If you plan to travel with your Pet, start planning and preparing your plans as early as possible. For some countries
Allow your Pet access to water at all times, the rabbit drinking bottles are working quite well. They will not spill too much leaving your Pet’s cage dry during the trip.
Don’t feed your Pet just before travelling since this might make them sick and soil their cage, Small dogs might need some food otherwise their energy levels will drop too much, ask our Vets for advice.
Take your Pet for a nice walk before enclosing him/her. Make sure they have done all that needed doing.
Pets have to be on the most direct flight to the country of destination.
Try to book night arrival times in Middle East countries (this protects your Pet from exposure to the sun and high heat during the day).
