Well we have to take to take our children wherever we go, sure they are dogs and a cat but they are our children, so how do we go about this?

We have previously moved animals overseas with us, from Australia to Malaysia, Malaysia to Reunion, Reunion to Mauritius, Mauritius to South Africa, South Africa to USA and now USA to India… and at the end of the contract back to the USA. So we aren’t new to this international pet moving!

We start searching for information, there isn’t much as far as government website info we can find about taking your pets to India, but we do stumble across this board called India Mike . This site is great, but has some old information on it, and some people who are very very negative about travelling with animals!

But it gets us started, and with some google searches we come across some websites here in the USA for pet relocation specialists, but WOW there prices are huge. As freight they want from $5000- 7000 for all 3 animals, or we find out we can take them as excess baggage and they will do the USA part of the paperwork for $500…plus vet fees….still a lot.

So we look more and find Pet Travel Store in Fort Lauderdale that sells all kinds of pet travel info and supplies. The supplies aren’t much different to the stuff we can get in Petsmart or Petco, and the major stores are cheaper in some items, but they have these travel info packs of paper work and what you need info which are really good!

So for around $20 we now are armed with the starting block, the forms and instruction sheets.
