Every Pet Is a VIP

SC Pet Import Services will meet and greet, process US Customs clearance, and complete all remaining airline and LAX import documents. Our customs broker team has been clearing pets in the U.S. for more than 25 years. Please submit your travel request ahead of travel date so your pet has the red carpet rolled out when they arrive.

SC Pet Export Services will be able to assist your pet with their entire travel itinerary from A to Z.. We help pets determine destination country import requirements, ensure vaccine and blood test compliance, submit travel itinerary requests, and arrange for destination country support team if required.

SC Pet offers custom VIP ground  services to help pets in need of a ride anywhere. Our trusted network of fellow Ipata member pet teams located in every state will have a solution for any travel situation. Many pets will have complicated travel itineraries with distant final home destinations that require a VIP ride home.

Cats prefer not to travel but will manage their stress. When cats arrive, they may disappear for hours in your new home as they work to return to themselves. Some cats will exit their kennel as if nothing has happened. Our best secret remains one of your well-worn tee shirts to accompany your pet inside the travel kennel. Hiding little treats also helps us feel better.

Many dogs love to travel and that extends to acceptance of air travel. Our services include pet health document organization to reuniting you with your dog in the terminal or at your new home. We love to meet new dogs and cater to pets in transit by providing walks, play time, supper, and even grooming. Please call our office if your pet will be in transit in Los Angeles.

Small pets that are able to fit in the soft sided pet carriers may have the option of flying inside the cabin. Senior pets, snub-nose breed pets, or pets terrified of travel by air, may only have the the ground transportation or flight nanny option available. We will do our best to review all of available options, even if the plan is to dress up your Yorkshire Terrier as a baby smuggled in First Class.

All dogs returning or traveling to the United States will be required to complete an extra CDC Rabies Import Permit. The criteria for determining the correct import permit to complete will depend on where the pet has been for the previous six months prior to traveling to the U.S. SC Pet Transport will review to double-check if all the import requirements to the United Stats have been met.

In addition to the timing of multiple events, pet itineraries can depend on multiple import permits, documents, and health records. And it all is done in collaboration or to the demands of multiple agencies. We can manage all or parts of your pet’s travel for you, and often our experience and the personal relationships we have at multiple agencies can make a real difference if things don’t go according to plan.

Some countries may require up to three months in order to obtain a pet import permit. There may also be mandatory quarantine time when the pet arrives no matter how many documents and permits are provided. The majority of pet travel itineraries require seven to fourteen days to research, confirm, and book. There is also a detailed process to complete and confirm our requested itinerary,
