Relocation services to and from British Columbia
International Pet Relocation with Compass Relocation
Moving internationally to or from British Columbia involves more than packing boxes and booking flights. Your pet's transport requires documentation, airline coordination, compliance checks, and careful timing — all on top of everything else a household move demands.
Through our partnership with Compass Relocation, Paws en route provides fully integrated pet transport as part of your international move. Whether you are relocating pets only or coordinating a complete household and pet move, we handle the pet side end to end while Compass manages your household goods.
The result is a single, coordinated move — fewer handoffs, clearer communication, and a smoother experience for your entire family.
What We Handle Together
Compass Relocation manages your household goods while Paws en route handles every aspect of your pet's journey. Together, we cover the full move.
Pets-Only International Move
If you only need pet transport, Paws en route coordinates airline booking, health certificates, import documentation, and ground logistics — so your pet arrives safely regardless of where your household goods are going.
Combined Household & Pet Move
Moving everything? Compass Relocation manages your household goods while we coordinate your pet's transport on the same timeline — one point of contact for the whole family.
