What the engine covers
Every rule that gets in between a pet and a destination — surfaced up front.
Pet relocation isn’t one thing — it’s a stack of independent rulebooks from a dozen agencies, every one of which can ground a move. Pet Atlas reads them all so the move plan you hand clients is the move plan that will actually work.
01
Destination import permits
Country-specific entry rules pulled into the engine before the rest of the plan runs — no manual lookup.
02
USDA APHIS endorsements
Lead times, 7001 forms, export certificates, and the gap between USDA acceptance and on-aircraft cutoff.
03
IATA Live Animal Regulations
Container model, ventilation, accessory list, and write-on labels that match the airline that actually flies the route.
04
Rabies titer windows
Lab submission, sample turnaround, and the 90-day entry window countries actually enforce on arrival.
05
Snub-nose breed restrictions
Per-airline embargoes, summer/winter embargoes, and route alternatives that survive the breed restrictions.
06
Weather embargoes
Ground temperature thresholds at origin, layover, and arrival — with a workable reroute when a slot fails.
07
Airline-specific kennel dimensions
Carrier and Series 700 rules reconciled against each airline’s posted dimension table, not generic.
08
Customs clearance & ground transport
Customs broker handoff, country release hold times, and last-mile ground transport at arrival.
Carriers we verify against
Trusted by these carriers.
Every move plan generated by Pet Atlas reads against the carrier that actually flies the route. The directory is curated to the top 10 carriers most of our moves pass through — United, Delta, American, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, LATAM, GOL, ANA, and Singapore Airlines — each row sourced from that carrier’s live pet policy and re-verified within the last 90 days.

How it works
From search to shipped, in four steps.
Most pet moves die in the gap between “we’d like to take her with us” and “she is booked on a flight.” Pet Atlas closes that gap — every input maps to an output, every output maps to a deadline.
