international pet travel

We're excited to announce that we can now offer non-stop pet flights for pets going from the US to Munich, Germany.  The new Continental Airlines flight #106 will depart New York (Newark-Liberty) every day at 5:30 PM and will arrive at Munich Airport at 7:40 AM the following morning.  The return flight, Continental Airlines #107, will depart Munich daily at 9:20 AM and arrive at 12:35 PM in New York.

Pets coming from other areas in the US can fly direct to New York and then, after a quick pit stop at the Pet Safe Pet Hotel in Newark, can continue on their second flight direct to Munich.

Georgie is an Ori Pei dog we moved to Shanghai a couple of weeks ago, and many people were following her international pet travel story on our blog!

We were thrilled to get some great pictures of Georgie relaxing in her new condo in Shanghai today.  She looks like she's enjoying her home and her owners tell us that she loves looking out the windows.

Budget Travel has a great list of "14 Weird Animals You Can Travel to See."  Near the top of the list is the Naked Mole Rat, which we have actually moved internationally before.  However, if you want to check out a naked mole rat in its natural habitat you'll have to travel to Kenya!

When humans travel internationally, they get a passport issued, so it makes sense that pets would need one too.  However, there is a lot of confusion about pet passports, particularly in the US.

Hello, I will be moving to Cairo with my dog in late August.

Here's a dog who certainly has his paperwork in order!  Oscar is a lucky mutt who went from being a dumped dog at a shelter to a globe-trotting spokespup, drawing attention or shelters and homeless dogs worldwide.
