Sky Kennels Ltd

How it Works We normally need one to six weeks notice (depending upon the nature and destination country of your move) to arrange your pet′s travel. Pets are usually picked up the day before the trip and brought to the vet for their required examination and paperwork. We handle full door to door transport. Documentation Your pet will need an original health certificate issued by a licensed and accredited vet, which is under ten days old at time of travel. We may also need to see a signed rabies vaccination certificate. For International travel the rabies vaccination usually needs to be at least 30 days old and under one year old. Depending upon the destination country, your pet′s trip may require Import Permits, various annual vaccinations, reservation at quarantine kennels, and other special documentation that can take up to 6 weeks or more to obtain. We can help with all of this. We are happy to explain an individual country′s requirements and help you sort through the maze of international pet travel! Sky Kennels Having a proper size sky kennel is a shipping requirement. Your pet MUST be able to stand up without their head touching the top of the carrier, sit down, and turn around comfortably in the carrier. This means, when the pet is outside the carrier, he or she should not be taller or longer than the carrier. The carrier should not be too large either. Starwood Animal Transport supplies all sizes of airline compliant sky kennels at competitive prices. These kennels are specially designed for air travel. They are ventilated on the rear wall and also have protectors around the door pins to prevent the doors from accidentally opening. If you choose to purchase your carrier elsewhere, please size your pet carefully and choose a sturdy and secure crate. Carriers for International flights must have ventilation on all four sides. We reserve the right to refuse to ship pets in inadequate carriers.
