Pet Transport from Europe to the USA

For dogs, start with the previous six months

CDC separates dog-entry pathways by the countries visited in the previous six months and where rabies vaccination took place. Departing from a European airport does not erase an earlier stay in another country.

Send the full country history and vaccination records. Use the U.S. dog entry guide to identify the starting pathway before selecting flights.

Cats need their own assessment

Cat import requirements differ from the dog pathway. Tell us the destination state or territory, number of cats and travel format. Our cat transport page links to the relevant entry guidance.

Hawaii and Guam need separate planning. Airline acceptance and applicable state or territory rules also belong in the review.

Choose the U.S. arrival point with the paperwork

We assess the proposed airport, any onward flight and the agreed receiving arrangements. If the applicable dog-entry pathway requires an animal care facility, that booking and its requirements must fit the itinerary.

Send any existing bookings for review, including the operating airline on every segment. A passenger reservation alone does not confirm pet acceptance.

One turnkey transport service, from departure to arrival

Pets Delivery Expert provides turnkey pet transport from Europe to the USA. We manage the route, flight arrangements, required preparation and agreed departure and arrival handovers as one service. Tell us the departure city and country, whether you will travel with your pet and the final U.S. destination.

Your proposal defines where our service starts and finishes, who hands over and receives your pet, and any collection or onward delivery included. Price depends on your dates, pet and container size, preparation, onward U.S. travel and any arrival-facility services required for your dog’s entry pathway. Confirm the total and currency, included services and separately paid fees.

We manage the complete agreed journey, working with the operating airline, veterinarians and arrival providers as needed. Airline acceptance and official entry requirements still apply to the actual pet and route. See transport without the owner and what affects the quote.

Request a Europe-to-USA transport quote with your departure city, U.S. state and city, approximate dates and pet details. We assess the journey and prepare a proposal for the complete agreed transport, with the service scope clear before you book.
