Everything a visitor needs, before the first search.
Pet Atlas is a regulatory engine — a search returns a plan, not a brochure. This page is what to read first: the rule stack on a typical cross-border pet move, the ten carriers most moves pass through, the questions that come up before the first inquiry, the IATA crate sizes live, and the freshness status of every source we read.
What’s inside
Route guides
Origin → destination write-ups for the eight live lanes, each hitting one regulatory pinch point.
12-question FAQ
Vaccine timelines, crate sizing, USDA APHIS, and the imports that gate Brazil and Australia.
Carrier directory
United, Delta, American, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, LATAM, GOL, ANA, Singapore — each re-verified within 90 days.
IATA crate calculator
Pick a species and breed, get the IATA series and dimensions live — same math the engine charges for.
Source-backed freshness
Daily automated refresh over the five MVP routes; freshness badges on every rule.
Not legal advice
Reference material, not a substitute for the licensed customs broker, vet clinic, or carrier desk on your move.
Origin → destination write-ups, one per live lane.
Each guide lands on the regulatory pinch point that uniquely defines the pair — the permit, the titer window, the breed embargo, or the carrier rule that almost always catches first-time applicants.
The questions that come up before the first search.
Vaccine timelines, IATA crate sizing, USDA APHIS lead times, and the imports that gate Brazil and Australia. The first three appear here; the full FAQ lives on the dedicated page.
The carriers that fly moves most.
Acceptance rules, crate requirements, snub-nose restrictions, and weather embargoes for the top ten carriers most of our moves pass through — re-verified within 90 days.
Pick a breed, get the series.
Same per-breed dimensional table the engine charges for, surfaced as a stand-alone widget. Pick a species and a breed and the IATA Container Note series, dimensions, and size class appear in one card.
Every rule backed by a recent source.
The freshness status of the rule stack — last automated refresh, open change reports, and the live per-lane list on the freshness page.
Once you’ve read the guides, run the plan.
The free feasibility check generates the verdict. The $99 PetMove Plan is what a traveler, vet, or shipper actually executes against — one checklist, IATA crate estimate, vet timeline, and arrival logistics.
