Corporate Pet Relocation Services
When your people move, their pets move too. And that detail decides how the relocation is remembered.
Corporate pet relocation is rarely planned properly until it becomes a problem. An executive accepts an overseas posting. A senior hire agrees to relocate to Canada. Everything looks settled until one question stops the process cold. What happens to the dog, the cat, the animal that cannot be left behind?
Pearl Lemon Pets provides corporate pet relocation services across Canada for employers, HR teams, relocation managers, and global mobility departments that need this handled without friction. We manage the entire process with precision, documentation discipline, and country-specific knowledge so pet relocation does not delay start dates or damage employee goodwill.
Corporate pet relocation is not a side task. It is part of your relocation obligation. When handled poorly, it causes stress, delays, and reputational risk. When handled properly, it reinforces that your company follows through on every promise made to relocating staff.

Our Services
Every corporate pet relocation assignment has moving parts that must line up exactly. We handle each stage methodically, with full awareness of Canadian import rules, airline requirements, and employer timelines.
Corporate Pet Relocation Planning and Oversight
Corporate pet relocation begins with planning, not paperwork. We assess the relocation timeline, origin country, destination province in Canada, species, breed restrictions, vaccination history, and airline routing constraints. This allows HR and mobility teams to lock in start dates without uncertainty.
Our planning process removes the risk of last-minute compliance issues that derail relocations. We coordinate with internal stakeholders, external relocation vendors, and the employee directly, keeping your team informed without requiring daily involvement.
Canadian Import Compliance and Documentation Handling
Canada enforces strict import standards for pets entering the country. Errors lead to refusal of entry, quarantine delays, or return shipments. We manage all documentation required for corporate pet relocation into Canada, including veterinary records, microchip verification, health certificates, and border inspection preparation.
This service protects employers from avoidable delays that affect employee onboarding and payroll planning. Everything is checked, verified, and prepared according to federal and provincial requirements.
International Pet Transport Coordination
Corporate pet relocation requires airline coordination that goes beyond booking a flight. We manage approved carrier selection, routing decisions, seasonal embargo awareness, aircraft compatibility, and kennel compliance.
We also coordinate directly with airlines to confirm cargo handling standards and arrival procedures within Canadian airports. This reduces handoff errors and ensures pets arrive safely and on schedule without creating administrative chaos for your team.
Employee and Family Guidance Throughout the Move
Relocating employees are already under pressure. Adding uncertainty around their pets creates unnecessary stress. We provide clear guidance to employees and their families throughout the corporate pet relocation process so your HR team does not become a help desk.
This includes preparation timelines, crate training guidance, travel day expectations, and arrival procedures in Canada. Employees stay informed. HR stays focused on business priorities.
Breed-Specific and Special Case Management
Certain breeds and species introduce additional layers of complexity in corporate pet relocation. Snub-nosed animals, large breed dogs, senior pets, and multi-pet households require careful handling and route selection.
We manage these cases with attention to airline policies, seasonal temperature restrictions, and animal welfare considerations. This reduces last-minute denials that often occur when these details are overlooked.
Corporate Relocation Policy Alignment
Many companies have relocation policies that mention pets without defining their execution. We work alongside HR and mobility teams to align corporate pet relocation services with internal policies, reimbursement structures, and approval workflows.
This ensures consistency across relocations and prevents ad hoc decisions that create internal disputes or employee dissatisfaction.
Destination Support Across Canada
Arrival is not the end of corporate pet relocation. We support destination handover across Canada, including airport release coordination, customs clearance assistance, and onward transport where required.
Whether the employee is relocating to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, or a smaller regional hub, we manage the final stages so the transition into Canada is controlled and predictable.
Ongoing Corporate Account Support
For companies with recurring relocation needs, we provide structured corporate account support. This includes repeat relocation handling, centralised coordination, and predictable service execution without re-explaining requirements each time.
This service is designed for employers who relocate staff regularly and need a dependable partner rather than one-off arrangements.
