Tips on shipping your pets to their new home.
You have packed up every household item you own and you are ready to ship them overseas. You look around the house to see if you missed something. Staring straight at you with wide open eyes are your lovable dog and cat. 
Uh oh. How are you going to get your pets across the ocean? You can do it the same way you plan on moving your common household items. You can procure the professional services of Schumacher Cargo Logistics shipping service. Now, some may wonder if shipping your pet is safe. After all…how will they eat? How long does it take?
If you follow a few simple tips, you can be sure your pets will be transported safely and efficiently.
Before you ship your pet with us (Schumacher Cargo) or another shipping company, it is important to have all “prerequisites” handled prior to shipping the animal. That means you will need proof of ownership and vaccinations. Ownership proof could be adoption papers, an old vet bill, or anything that credibly establishes you as the owner. Proof of vaccinations is critical because the shipping service must be confident that the pet is not carrying any diseases such as rabies. It is also important to have import permission paperwork in place for the animal. Certain countries may have requirements to bringing in an animal from overseas. It is important to acquire all permissions and comply with all rules prior to shipping. If not, the animal may be refused entry and sent back. This will cost you a great deal of time, convenience, and money. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our Schumacher Cargo shipping experts.
If you ware looking for quotes, it is best to look for those companies that specialize in shipping animals. Again, there are certain complexities associated with shipping a pet. If the animal will be in transit for a lengthy amount of time, it will need food and water. Experienced shipping services can more than adequately handle such duties. As such, selecting from those shipping services that specialize in animal shipping would be a much better option than those services that do not. See how our Schumacher Cargo Logistics team of experts can help you relocate your animal.
