Pet relocation

Organise the preparations for your pet's journey and the first practical steps after arrival in Geneva.

Planning your pet's move

  1. Review the journey

    We identify the animal, departure country, route and travel dates to define the checks needed.

  2. Build the preparation checklist

    We organise the relevant document and veterinary preparation points into a timeline for your specific route.

  3. Coordinate practical questions

    We help clarify agreed points with your vet and transport provider, including their own document requirements.

  4. Prepare for local life

    We identify relevant arrival and registration steps and useful local contacts, including dog-registration requirements where applicable.

  • A timeline for the agreed journey

Practical questions

Are the requirements the same for every pet?

No. The checklist depends on the animal, departure country, route and travel dates. Official requirements and carrier conditions must be checked for the actual journey.

Can you help with the first steps after arrival?

We identify relevant arrival and registration steps and useful local contacts. For dogs, this includes guidance on applicable local registration requirements.
