How it works
How pet relocation works — from your first message to a safe arrival
You've probably never done this before. The permits, the airlines, the crate rules — it's a lot to hold, and it's easy to feel lost. Here's exactly what happens at every step, and exactly what we take care of for you.

No experience needed
You don't have to figure this out
Most people relocate a pet exactly once. You don't need to learn the import rules, chase the right forms, or work out which airline takes pets on your route — that's our job, and we've done it more than 2,000 times. Your part is mostly to love your pet and keep them calm. We handle the rest, and keep you posted the whole way.
The journey
What happens, step by step
Every relocation — moving abroad, coming home to India, or moving within the country — follows the same path. Here's the whole thing, and exactly who does what.
Talk to us — free, no pressure
One message starts everything.
We handle
Map your exact route, flag the long poles (like a rabies blood test), and give you an honest timeline and estimate — no obligation.
You
Send one WhatsApp or call. Tell us your pet, where you're moving from and to, and roughly when.
Your route plan
A plan built around your pet, your route and your dates.
We handle
Build a document checklist specific to your destination and pet, with every date worked backward from your move.
You
Look it over and confirm. From here, you mostly just wait for our prompts.
We prepare everything
The paperwork and the medical prep — handled in parallel.
We handle
The government side — import permit, NOCs, export and health certificates — plus the medical prep through our vet network: ISO microchip, rabies and core vaccines, the rabies titer where your route needs it, parasite treatment and the fit-to-fly certificate, each correctly timed.
You
Take your pet to the vet visits we book. We tell you exactly when, and what each one is for. That's the bulk of your involvement.
Permits and vet prep run at the same time, not one after the other — and this is usually the longest phase. How long depends entirely on your route; you'll find exact timing on your route page.
The IATA crate & getting travel-ready
The right crate is the backbone of a calm, safe flight.
We handle
Source the correctly-sized, IATA-compliant crate for your pet and guide the acclimatization so they travel calm, not scared.
You
Let your pet get used to the crate at home over a couple of weeks — we show you exactly how.
Travel day
The day you've been preparing for — and the day we carry the load.
We handle
Collect your pet in our vehicle, a trained handler stays with them through check-in and hands them to the airline's ground crew. WhatsApp updates the whole way — often with a photo.
You
Say a calm goodbye. We take it from there.
To be clear: the handler doesn't fly in the hold with your pet — no one does — but your pet is never left to navigate the airport alone, and our partner is waiting at the other end.
Safe arrival, then home
Received, cleared, and delivered to the door.
We handle
Our partner receives your pet the moment they land, clears customs and AQCS inspection, manages quarantine only where the route requires it, and delivers to your door (or hands them straight to you).
You
Be ready for the reunion.

Door to door
Everything we handle
One team, one plan, from your front door to theirs. Here's what's included in a FidoJet relocation.
The part people worry about most
A trained person stays with your pet
On travel day, a trained FidoJet handler collects your pet and stays with them right through airport check-in — calm, familiar, unhurried. They hand your pet to the airline's ground crew, and our partner is waiting to receive them the moment they land.
To be clear: the handler doesn't fly in the hold with your pet — no one does — but your pet is never left to navigate a strange airport alone.
And you're never in the dark. We send WhatsApp updates the whole way — often with a photo of your pet, safe and settled.
Timing
When should you start?
The single most useful thing you can do is start early. Some routes need months of lead time — mostly because of a rabies blood test and a fixed waiting period — while others move in weeks. A rough guide:
Your situation
Find your exact path
The steps are the same; the details depend on where you're going. Start with the page that matches your move.
Moving abroad from India
Outbound to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE and beyond — permits, titer and the IATA crate, handled.
Moving abroad world → INDReturning to India
The easier direction. No titer to enter, no long quarantine for returning residents — cleared and home, often the same day.
Returning home Road · Rail · AirWithin India
Long-distance moves by dedicated AC vehicle, sanctioned train arrangements, or air — whichever fits your pet best.

"What stood out was how effortless you made the whole thing — pickup right from my doorstep, every bit handled. I barely had to lift a finger."
"A message when Casper checked in, one when he boarded, and a photo the second he was collected. For an anxious dog mum, those updates meant more than you know."
"Delhi to Bengaluru by road for Sheru and Moti. The WhatsApp updates during the drive, and how well the driver and handler looked after them, made the whole thing easy."
