National and International Pet Transportation: Your Best Friend's Safe Journey

We know that they are part of the family. We coordinate the transportation of pets with the safety, care and attention they deserve, from start to finish.

Safety and Care at Every Stage of the Journey

Taking your pet to another country requires much more than affection - you have to deal with a series of health, logistical and bureaucratic requirements that vary depending on the destination.

Target Relocation specializes in the international transport of pets and offers a complete solution: logistics, documentation, veterinary care and global support, with the utmost security, empathy and professionalism.

The Risk of Mistakes in Animal Transportation

Planning the transportation of animals on your own is a complex and risky process. An error in the health documentation, an expired vaccine or a transport box that doesn't meet the airline's standards can result in your pet being denied boarding at the airport. In addition to the enormous emotional stress, this can force the postponement of the entire family trip, generating costs and impacting on the executive's work schedule. In more serious cases, the animal may be subjected to a long and traumatic period of quarantine in the destination country.

Our Complete Advice on Pet Transportation

Our mission is to ensure that your pet's journey is as smooth and safe as yours. We specialize in all the logistics and bureaucracy involved in transporting pets. We take care of every detail, from checking the specific health rules of the destination to booking the flight with the most suitable airline. With our support, your family's only concern will be giving and receiving affection in their new home.

Documentation and Veterinary Certificate (CVI)

Each country has strict rules. We manage all the necessary documentation, including issuing the International Veterinary Certificate (CVI for international travel) with the official bodies (VIGIAGRO/MAPA). We take care of the reports, certificates and examinations, guaranteeing total compliance to avoid surprises on boarding.

International Travel with Dog and Cat

Planning an international trip with a dog or taking a cat abroad requires detailed planning. Our team advises on all health requirements, such as the application of a microchip, mandatory vaccinations (anti-rabies), deworming and preventive treatments, strictly following the protocols required by the destination country.

Flight Booking and Airplane Transport Box

The choice of airline and airline crate is crucial. We research and select the most pet-friendly companies for the desired route and ensure that the crate is 100% in accordance with IATA (International Air Transport Association) standards, ensuring your pet's comfort and safety throughout the journey.

National and international pet transportation

One of the main reasons why pets are denied boarding is incomplete or inadequate veterinary documentation. Target has own veterinarians and specialized technical team to take care of your pet's health and ensure that everything meets the requirements of the destination country and the airline.

We do:

  • Pre-trip consultations (in person or at home)
  • Vaccination updates and issuing of vaccination cards
  • Health certificate valid for boarding
  • Microchipping and laboratory tests (such as rabies serology)

Each pet, each airline and each destination requires different solutions. That's why we analyze each case to identify which mode of transport is most suitablealways prioritizing animal welfare and strict compliance with regulations.

Travel in the cabin with the guardian
For small animals, within the weight and size limits set by the airline. We help you choose the right crate, book your flight and issue the necessary documents.

Travel in the checked baggage compartment
For pets that can't go in the cabin, but accompany their guardian on the same flight. We guarantee the safety of the crate, accompaniment during boarding and support during disembarkation.

Transportation as live cargo
A solution for large pets or on routes that require independent freight. We organize the issuance of the AWB (Air Waybill), customs clearance and monitoring until final delivery.

Service dogs and emotional support
If you are traveling with a guide dog or emotional support animal, we offer support with medical documentation, contacting the airline and making sure the pet is properly accommodated.

Documentation is one of the most critical aspects of traveling with animals. A small mistake can prevent boarding or cause long delays in customs clearance.

Target acts as your bridge between the veterinarian, the airline, the regulatory bodies and the brokers abroad - to ensure that everything is approved and compliant.

Documents we help you obtain:

  • CZI (International Animal Health Certificate)
  • CVI (International Veterinary Certificate)
  • Health certificates, vaccination cards, microchip and examination reports
  • Translations, registrations and country-specific requirements

In addition to the medical and documentary aspects, we organize your pet's entire journeyflight quotation and booking, boarding, road freight, customs clearance, delivery at destination and much more. All with tracking and active support at every stage.

  • Flight booking or international freight
  • AWB issue (for live cargo)
  • Check-in and coordination at the airport
  • Flight monitoring

We know that each trip has its own particularities. That's why we offer complementary and personalized services that guarantee comfort, safety and compliance with regulations:

  • Advice on choosing the right transport box
  • Custom manufacturing of wooden or reinforced boxes
  • Temporary storage (if there is a break between flights)
  • Transfer in restricted areas

Our Process for Transporting Pets

Route Analysis and Health Requirements

The first step is a detailed study of the route and the health requirements of the destination country. Based on this, we create a complete timetable with all the steps, deadlines and veterinary procedures necessary for your pet.

Pet Health Management and Documentation

We coordinate your pet's health schedule, advising on visits to the vet, vaccinations and tests. We then take care of all the paperwork to issue the CVI and other necessary reports.

Air reservation and preparation for departure

Once the paperwork is in place, we book the flight for your pet and give you all the instructions you need to buy the ideal crate. We advise on how to adapt the animal to the crate days before the trip, to reduce stress.

Assistance on Day of Departure and Arrival

We offer complete support on the day of the trip, whether it's checking the pet in at the airport or coordinating pick-up by specialized brokers at the destination. Our aim is to ensure that logistics run smoothly.

Why entrust your pet's transportation to Target?

Because we understand that your pet is not cargo, but a member of your family. Our great advantage is that we integrate pet transportation into the relocation process as a whole. This human vision, combined with our logistical and bureaucratic expertise, guarantees a service that takes care of the technical details without ever forgetting your pet's well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet Transportation

How far in advance should I plan my pet's transportation?

Ideally, you should start planning three to six months before your trip, especially for destinations with stricter rules, such as the European Union and Japan. Some processes, such as serology tests, have mandatory time windows that need to be respected.

What is the CVI and why is it so important?

The CVI (International Veterinary Certificate) is your pet's passport. It is the official document, issued by the government veterinary authority (VIGIAGRO/MAPA in Brazil), which certifies that the animal meets all the health requirements of the destination country. Without it, boarding is impossible.

Can my pet travel in the cabin with me?

It depends on the airline's rules and the size and weight of your pet (including the carrier). Generally, only small animals are allowed in the cabin. Our team will check this for you.

How do you choose the right airplane crate?

The crate must comply with IATA standards: be made of rigid material, be well ventilated, be the right size for the animal to be able to stand up and turn around in it, and have safety locks. We provide the exact specifications.

Is it safe for my pet to travel in the cargo compartment?

Yes. The compartment for transporting animals is pressurized, air-conditioned and lit, with the same conditions as the passenger cabin. Airlines follow strict protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of pets.

What are the main requirements for taking a cat or dog abroad?

The most common requirements are: an international standard microchip, up-to-date rabies vaccine, recent health certificate and CVI. Some destinations may require additional tests, specific treatments or even a period of quarantine.
