International Pet Transport to Orlando

Pet dogs and cats travelling from Australia to Orlando usually fly via Emirates Sky Cargo or Qatar Airways, with a comfort stop at either Dubai or Doha, depending on the airline. The total flight duration is approximately 20 hours. Before your pet travels to the United States, you must ensure their documentation is ready, and the vet visits are complete. Petraveller requires at least 30 days of notice to organise and coordinate your pet’s transport to Orlando.

International Pet Relocation Arrival

After your pet arrives in Orlando, they will be transported immediately to the airport’s animal lounge for customs clearance and veterinary examination. Your pet will be checked for signs of illness or communicable diseases during the veterinary inspection and released into your care after customs officials have completed the necessary procedures. 

Petraveller will help with a collection guide with detailed information such as location, contact details, work hours, etc., to make the collection process simple and hassle-free. 

Frequently asked questions

Does my pet need to be quarantined when travelling to the United States from Australia?

What type of crate should my pet travel in?

Petraveller will arrange for an IATA airline-approved Petraveller Sky Crate tailored to the size of your pet. The crate should be large enough for your pet to lie down, stand up and turn around comfortably. The Sky Crate has a water container and funnel fixed to the door and is lined with an ultra-absorbent Petraveller Sky Mat. Petraveller recommends familiarising your pet with their Sky Crate and ensuring they know how to drink from the water funnel before they travel.

Local Pet Requirements

Pet parents in Orlando have certain responsibilities towards their pets. Pet owners must ensure their pet dogs and cats are vaccinated against rabies and have a current rabies vaccination certificate. Pet dogs must be registered with the local council and always wear their registration tags. Orlando has many parks and gardens with designated dog areas to run around and socialise with their doggy pals. Most dog parks will allow only vaccinated dogs. 

As a pet parent, you are expected to care for your pet and ensure they have nutritious food and a safe place to live. Remember to be mindful of other people and property and pick up after your pet.
