Relocating your pet across the world is a big journey — but with the right help, it doesn’t have to be stressful. When planning pet transport to Canada, understanding import requirements and airline procedures is key to ensuring your furry companion travels safely and comfortably. Pet Traveller makes the Canada pet transport process smooth, transparent, and completely tailored to your needs.
At Pet Traveller, we specialise in pet travel to Canada for families, expats, and returning residents across Australia. Our experienced team manages the entire relocation process — from veterinary checks and paperwork to flights, customs, and post-arrival support.
Canada’s pet import regulations are straightforward but must be followed precisely. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) oversees animal imports and requires valid microchipping, vaccinations, and health certificates for cats and dogs. With our guidance, your pet travel Canada experience will be simple, safe, and fully compliant.
Whether you’re moving to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, or Montreal, Pet Traveller will plan the most efficient route and ensure your pet’s comfort from take-off to touchdown.
When organising pet transport Canada, all pets must meet CFIA import health standards. Dogs and cats travelling from Australia generally fall into Canada’s low-risk category for rabies, which simplifies entry requirements.
Dogs older than three months must have proof of rabies vaccination administered at least 30 days before arrival. Cats are not always required to have rabies vaccination but may need one depending on the airline or province. Your pet must also have a veterinary health certificate issued by an accredited vet within 10 days of travel.
Pet Traveller’s experts manage all the necessary health checks, documentation, and crate preparation to ensure your Canada pet courier service runs smoothly. We’ll coordinate with veterinarians, CFIA requirements, and airlines so you can focus on your move — not the paperwork.
Our pet courier Canada network includes trusted international airline partners who adhere to IATA Live Animal Regulations. We select the safest, most comfortable routes and handle all logistics, from crate fitting to customs clearance.
Upon arrival, most pets from Australia do not need quarantine in Canada, provided their paperwork is accurate and up to date. Pet Traveller ensures every document is correct to prevent any delays at customs or inspection.
From flight comfort to final delivery, our Canada pet courier team prioritises your pet’s wellbeing every step of the way.
Pet Traveller provides global relocation support beyond pet transport Canada, helping families move pets to destinations worldwide. We’re experts in International Pet Transport and offer tailored support for International Dog Transport and International Cat Transport.

Our expertise ensures your pet travel Canada experience aligns perfectly with international import laws and airline requirements.
