Moving a pet across borders isn’t as simple as booking a ticket. From airline regulations to import paperwork, every step needs to meet international animal welfare and transportation standards. That’s why working with an IPATA Agent (a member of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association) makes all the difference.
What Is an IPATA Agent?
An IPATA Agent is a professional pet relocation expert who follows the global standards set by the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA). Since 1979, IPATA has united over 440 members across 80+ countries, creating a trusted global network of experienced shippers dedicated to the safe and humane transport of live animals.
Every IPATA Agent in Canada must meet strict criteria, including compliance with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Live Animals Regulations (LAR), and national animal welfare laws. This ensures that pets travel in approved carriers, receive proper care throughout their journey, and arrive safely at their destination.
Why Work with an IPATA Agent in Canada
When you’re moving internationally, logistics can be overwhelming. Airlines, customs offices, and import authorities each have their own requirements. As certified IPATA Agents in Canada, we understand how to navigate these complexities, like handling documentation, coordinating flights, and ensuring your pet’s travel crate, vaccinations, and health certificates all meet international standards.
We are proud to be part of this global association. Our Managing Director, Bruno Mansueto, also serves as the Regional Director for the Americas at IPATA, helping shape the best practices used by pet shippers around the world.
