How PetAeron Manages Your Pet's Relocation to New Zealand
Your Pet's Safety and Compliance Are Our First Priority — Every Step of the Way
Relocating a pet to New Zealand is one of the most documentation-intensive international pet moves in the world. New Zealand’s strict biosecurity laws exist to protect its unique ecosystem — and one missing document or incorrect titer test can mean rejection at the border. PetAeron’s job is to make sure that never happens to your dog or cat.
Rabies Titer Test Coordination — Timed to New Zealand's Requirements
New Zealand requires a valid rabies neutralising antibody titer test (RNAT) showing a result of ≥0.5 IU/ml, conducted at an EU-approved laboratory no less than 6 months before travel. PetAeron identifies your pet’s correct testing window, books the test at a government-recognised lab, and tracks the result — so your pet’s travel date is planned around a passing titer, not a missed one.
Correct IATA Crate — Sized for Comfort and New Zealand Airline Compliance
A correctly sized IATA-approved crate is mandatory for all pets travelling to New Zealand as manifest cargo. PetAeron measures your pet’s exact dimensions — height (floor to top of head), length (nose to tail base), and shoulder width — and selects or supplies an IATA-compliant crate that meets both airline and MPI requirements. We also run a crate familiarisation programme so your pet is comfortable and calm before travel day.
Airline Cargo Booking with Pet-Friendly Carriers
Not all airlines carry live animals to New Zealand, and those that do have strict seasonal, breed, and crate-weight rules. PetAeron identifies the right carrier for your pet’s breed, size, and travel route, books the cargo slot, and coordinates the live animal booking confirmation — so there are no surprises at the airport.
AQCS Export Clearance from India
Before your pet boards, it must clear India’s Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS). PetAeron prepares and submits the complete AQCS application — including the government-endorsed health certificate, fit-to-fly declaration, and export NOC — and accompanies your pet through the clearance process at the airport. We have experience with AQCS offices across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai.
Real-Time Updates From Pickup to Quarantine Check-In
PetAeron pre-books your pet’s mandatory quarantine slot at an RNZIH-registered facility in New Zealand before your travel date is confirmed. We provide you with the facility name, contact details, and daily update protocol so you know exactly what your pet’s 10-day quarantine period looks like. Our New Zealand partner team monitors your pet’s arrival and welfare during the stay.
Quarantine Pre-Booking and Monitoring at RNZIH Facility
Before your pet travels anywhere, Petaeron coordinates a thorough pre-travel health check with a licensed, government-approved veterinarian in Pune. This consultation confirms that your pet is physically fit to travel, that all vaccinations are current and correctly documented, and that the fit-to-fly health certificate is issued in the correct format for your chosen mode of transport. For international relocations from Pune, we ensure the health certificate meets the exact requirements of the destination country — so there are no rejections at the airport, no documentation errors, and no last-minute stress on travel day.
Pre-Travel Vet Health Check and Government-Endorsed Certificate
Before your pet travels, PetAeron coordinates a thorough pre-travel health examination with a government-approved veterinarian in your city. The health certificate is issued in the exact format required by MPI’s Import Health Standard — signed, endorsed, and timestamped within the allowed window before departure. One incorrect date on this certificate can delay your pet’s entry; we make sure it is never wrong.
