FAQs
What does international pet relocation include?
Your Dog Butler manages the full trip for pets relocating overseas or across borders — home pickup, IATA-compliant kennel setup, coordination with your airline, and support navigating the customs and import paperwork your destination requires. The goal is to remove the logistics burden from what’s already a stressful move, so you’re not managing every government form and airline requirement alone. Every relocation is different, so call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your specific destination and timeline.
What documents does my pet need to relocate internationally?
Requirements vary by destination country and change without notice, so Your Dog Butler doesn’t guess — always confirm current rules directly with the relevant agency before booking travel. For pets leaving Canada, start with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA); for entry into the US, check USDA APHIS or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Typical categories include health certificates, vaccination records, and microchip confirmation, but exact requirements depend entirely on your route. Call 647-477-5858 and the team will help you confirm what applies to your pet.
Do I need a pet passport to move my dog or cat abroad?
It depends on the destination — some countries, including much of the EU and the UK, use a pet passport system, while others require a country-specific health certificate instead. Rules and accepted document formats change, so always verify directly with the destination country’s official import authority before you travel. Your Dog Butler can help you understand which category your move falls into and where to start. Call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your specific country of destination.
How far in advance should I start planning an international relocation?
As early as possible — ideally several weeks to a few months out, depending on your destination, since some countries require blood titer tests, waiting periods, or specific vaccination timelines that can’t be rushed. Advanced booking is highly recommended to guarantee your spot and ensure all international travel documents are in order. Limited emergency availability may exist for local Toronto taxi needs, but international relocation is not a same-day service — call 647-477-5858 as soon as you know a move is coming.
Does Your Dog Butler handle customs clearance?
Yes — the team has experience navigating CBSA and CFIA import-export requirements and can coordinate with customs brokers for commercial clearance where needed. That said, customs and import rules are set by government agencies, not by Your Dog Butler, and they can change — always confirm current requirements with the relevant agency and your airline before booking. Call 647-477-5858 to talk through what customs support your specific move needs.
Can you help with pet relocation between Canada and the US specifically?
Yes, Canada-US relocation is one of the more common routes Your Dog Butler handles, and both directions have their own requirements. For pets entering the US, see USDA APHIS; for pets entering Canada, see Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Requirements change and vary, so always confirm current rules with the relevant agency and your airline before booking. Call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your route.
Are there breed or country restrictions I should know about?
Some countries restrict or ban entry for specific dog breeds, and rabies-risk classifications for countries of origin can affect what’s required for entry — both change periodically, so don’t rely on older information. Confirm current breed and country rules directly with your destination country’s official import authority, or with CFIA’s pet import hub if you’re bringing a pet into Canada. Call 647-477-5858 and the team can help you confirm whether any restrictions apply to your pet and destination.
How much does international pet relocation cost?
Cost depends on destination, flight requirements, kennel size, and how much customs and documentation support your move needs, so Your Dog Butler doesn’t post flat international rates. Call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation — the team will walk through your pet’s specific route and give you a clear picture of what’s involved before anything is booked.
