Is Pet Holiday Club a pet shipper?

No. Pet Holiday Club is the rules and compliance layer. You run the move; we take the research and document checks off your team.

Can it help us choose an airline?

Yes. Carrier rules on weight, breed, kennel size and embargoes sit next to the destination’s requirements, so you can see whether an airline will take the pet before you book.

Can we check client documents with it?

Yes. Clients upload documents and each requirement on the route is marked Valid, Needs Review, Not found or Formality.

Can we put a route check on our own website?

Not yet. An embeddable checklist for your own website is in development.

Regulations guide

Pet shipping regulations, layer by layer

A move only works when every layer is satisfied. Here’s what each one covers.

Country import requirements

Vaccines, microchip, titer tests, permits and health certificates set by the destination, often different by species and origin country.

Country guides

Commercial vs non-commercial movement

When a pet travels without its owner, many destinations treat it as a commercial import. In the EU, that changes which certificate and checks apply.

Airline live animal cargo rules

Each carrier sets its own limits for the hold and cargo: weights, kennel sizes, breed bans, transfer limits and seasonal embargoes.

Airline pet policies

IATA Live Animals Regulations and crates

Container construction, sizing and labelling standards airlines apply to animals in the hold and as cargo.

Tests, certificates and endorsements

Titer test waiting periods, certificate validity windows and government endorsement steps that decide the earliest travel date.

FAVN titer test guide

Arrival, inspection and quarantine

Customs, veterinary inspection and quarantine at the destination. A microchip that can’t be read can invalidate every document.

Pet shipping regulations: common questions

Short answers for your team

The combined rules a pet has to meet to move between countries: the destination’s import requirements, the origin’s export rules, the airline’s live animal policy and IATA container standards.
