Moving with Pets
When you’re preparing for a military move, your pet is part of the family. Moving with a pet can add another layer of complexity to your plans, especially if you’re moving overseas. Let Military OneSource connect you to tips and resources to help you prepare so both you and your pet have a smooth relocation.
Pet relocation costs: a Uniformed Service member may be authorized reimbursement of up to $550 for a PCS within the continental United States and up to $2,000 for a PCS to or from a location outside the continental United States to cover expenses directly related to pet transportation, such as pet shipping and quarantine fees. For more information about pet quarantine reimbursement, visit the Defense Travel Management Office website Please note: Your moving company cannot ship any live animals.
The first step in moving with pets is: Know before you go. Learning about pet regulations in your new community well in advance of your actual move is a “must do.” This includes educating yourself on licensing and quarantine requirements, possible breed restrictions and what health documents you need to bring with you. Some communities have rules about what kinds of animals and breeds are allowed, and health regulations can vary in different states and countries. If your pet will be traveling by air, you will need to get smart about air travel requirements.

The APHIS website offers a search tool that enables you to choose your destination and view their pet travel requirements. It also has information about the USDA online Veterinary Export Health Certification System.

Health and safety tips
Talk to your vet as soon as you know you are moving. Ask for tips and recommendations on traveling and plan immunizations to ensure your pet is current. You should also ask about obtaining a heath certificate. As stated above, if you are traveling overseas, make sure you understand your host country’s regulations and restrictions so you can ensure your pet has any required vaccinations and health documents. If your pet isn’t used to traveling, ask your vet for recommendations about preparing for travel and issues such as motion sickness. You can also ask about identification microchips, if your pet doesn’t already have one.
