FAQ

Questions we always get

How far in advance should I start?

Most routes need 6–12 weeks. Some countries require a 30-day wait after the rabies booster, and others want a blood test that takes 4–6 weeks to come back. The earlier we know your dates, the easier it gets.

How much does it cost?

Quotes depend on the route, your pet’s size and the services you pick — paperwork-only costs much less than door-to-door. Most international moves land between RWF 800,000 and RWF 3,500,000. You get a written quote before any work starts.

Can my pet fly in the cabin?

It depends on the airline and your pet’s weight — usually under 7–8 kg including the carrier. We confirm with the airline when booking. If the cabin isn’t an option, climate-controlled cargo on a pet-friendly airline is the next best thing.

What if my pet has a health condition?

Tell us in the application. We work with your vet (or ours) so the airline accepts the fitness-to-fly letter and any travel anxiety is managed safely.

I’ve already booked my flight. Can you still help?

Yes. We can handle the paperwork and airport handling on their own while you keep your own flight booking.

Moving soon? Tell us your route and dates.

We’ll tell you on WhatsApp what your destination needs and how long it takes.
