Relocating your pet can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. It is not an easy process. However, Alexandra Tegovski helped me deal with the anxiety and stress by always answering my inquiries in detail. She made sure my labrador “Gretchen” would travel from Winnipeg, Canada to San Jose, Costa Rica in a safe and prompt way. She is always there for the customer providing clear instructions and making sure both owner and pet can trust the agency. I would use them again if necessary. Thank you Alexandra and Team!

We transported our boy Theo from Toronto to Mumbai! He didn’t have any discomfort and the team did the great job in guiding us and making arrangements! The Paws en route team coordinated excellently with us in a totally different time zone and with our friend! After Theo was picked up for flight from our friend’s place , we were informed that Theo was in the safest hands! The moment he landed in India exactly 10 days after we moved to India, though Theo was tired of the long journey he was healthy and we felt good after months! Now it’s almost 35 days since Theo is in India, he is sound and healthy. Thank you team❤️

Common Questions

How do I transport my pet by air?

The transportation of any pet requires detailed planning, and we make it easy. We coordinate with you to ensure your pet has all required paperwork and certifications needed to fly to their destination country. Your Paws en route service manager will guide you through all the details and outline what you will need to gather for your pet to fly. Please contact the office for more information.

What is required for pet transportation by air?

All dogs, cats and pets traveling by air are required to have the appropriate crates to be flight ready and accepted by the airline companies. Paws en route can supply and advise you to ensure you have the right carrier as per the IATA (International Air Transport Association) regulations. Contact us for further information.

How much does it cost to fly my pet?

Pet travel, whether it be dogs, cats or other, is at the discretion of the regular taxi drivers and often not accepted. Consequently, the Paws en route service was born, to provide a predictable, convenient, trustworthy and safe pet taxi service option for pet owners in Toronto and the GTA. Paws en route always has pet seatbelts and straps to secure pet carriers. Your pet can travel alone safely with Paws.
