Our Services
We provide end-to-end international pet relocation services for dogs and cats moving from Canada to Austria, structured for corporate assignments, executive transfers, and private relocations.
Below is how we manage every stage.
EU Pet Import Compliance Management for Austria
The biggest risk in corporate pet relocation from Canada to Austria is non-compliance with EU entry requirements. Austria enforces strict standards under EU Regulation 576/2013 for dogs and cats entering from Canada.
We manage:
- ISO-compliant microchipping before rabies vaccination
- Valid rabies vaccination timing protocols
- EU health certificate completion
- Canadian Food Inspection Agency endorsement
- Tapeworm treatment timing is required
- Breed-specific and documentation checks
If a vaccination is administered before microchipping, the rabies vaccination record becomes invalid for entry into the EU. That single oversight can delay travel for weeks. We prevent these errors by auditing veterinary records before any paperwork is submitted.
Veterinary Coordination Across Canada
Canada is geographically vast. Your relocating employee may be based in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, or Montreal. Coordinating CFIA endorsement, veterinary appointments, and compliance timelines across provinces requires structured oversight.
We liaise directly with:
- Accredited veterinarians
- CFIA offices
- Pet travel clinics
- Microchip registries
We provide document review before submission to reduce rejection risk at the CFIA endorsement stage. This prevents last-minute corrections that can disrupt flight bookings to Austria.
Airline and IATA-Compliant Pet Transport Logistics
Corporate pet relocation from Canada to Austria includes strict airline policies. Each carrier has temperature embargo rules, breed restrictions, aircraft crate standards, and route limitations.
We manage:
- IATA-approved travel crate selection
- Route planning from major Canadian airports to Austria
- Airline cargo or accompanied baggage bookings
- Weather and seasonal embargo compliance
- Sedation risk assessment policies
- Transit country clearance requirements
Improper crate sizing can result in airline refusal at check-in. Incorrect routing can create customs complications within the EU. We eliminate those risks before departure.
Austrian Customs Clearance and Entry Support
Landing in Austria with an employee’s pet is not the final step. Austrian border veterinary officials review:
- EU health certificates
- Microchip scan verification
- Rabies vaccination validity
- Supporting documentation
We pre-validate all documentation before departure from Canada to reduce clearance friction upon arrival in Austria.
Where required, we coordinate with Austrian customs brokers and veterinary authorities to confirm entry procedures in advance.
Door-to-Door International Pet Shipping
Many relocating employees are managing housing searches, immigration documentation, and corporate onboarding. They do not have time to personally coordinate pet drop-offs and airport cargo procedures.
We provide:
- Home pickup in Canada
- Pre-flight health check coordination
- Airport cargo handling
- Arrival support in Austria
- Final delivery to the residence
This structured international pet shipping process allows your relocating employee to focus on their new role in Austria, not on airport logistics.
Corporate Mobility Support for HR Teams
Corporate pet relocation from Canada to Austria often falls into a grey area within mobility budgets. HR teams need clarity on cost, timelines, and compliance risk.
We provide:
- Clear scope of services
- Timeline forecasting aligned with assignment dates
- Documentation checklists
- Coordination with relocation management companies
- Direct communication with transferees
When pet relocation fails, assignments are delayed or declined. When handled correctly, it becomes a silent success within the overall relocation package.
We act as an extension of your global mobility department in both Canada and Austria.
Breed and Special Case Management
Certain breeds and snub-nosed dogs require specific airline planning due to respiratory risk. Multi-pet households require careful crate allocation and booking coordination.
We manage:
- Brachycephalic breed routing considerations
- Senior pet travel planning
- Multi-animal shipments
- Emotional support animal documentation clarity
- Temperature-controlled cargo solutions
Corporate pet relocation from Canada to Austria is rarely one-size-fits-all. We assess risk factors in advance and create a controlled travel plan.
This prevents airline refusal, medical incidents, or travel interruption.
Post-Arrival Registration in Austria
After entry into Austria, pets must comply with local municipal registration requirements.
We guide clients through:
- Austrian pet registration processes
- Microchip database alignment
- Local veterinary follow-up
- Ongoing compliance awareness
For corporate transferees settling in Austria, this prevents administrative complications after arrival.

Why Choose Us
Corporate pet relocation from Canada to Austria is a specialist service. It requires knowledge of Canadian export rules, EU import regulations, airline live animal regulations, and Austrian entry protocols. We operate at that intersection.
We understand corporate timelines. When an executive’s contract start date is fixed, pet documentation cannot be late. We structure each relocation backwards from the planned Austria arrival date and control every compliance checkpoint along the way.
We also understand employee psychology. Many assignments collapse because families refuse to move without clarity about their pets. By providing structured, documented relocation planning, we remove that barrier and protect the employer’s investment in international mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dogs and cats require ISO microchipping, a valid rabies vaccination administered after microchipping, an EU health certificate completed by an accredited veterinarian, and CFIA endorsement in Canada before departure.
The timeline depends on vaccination status. If rabies vaccination is current and compliant, preparation may take a few weeks. If vaccinations must be updated post-microchip, additional waiting periods apply.
Yes, but airline crate standards, aircraft capacity, and routing restrictions must be assessed. We coordinate multi-pet shipments to ensure compliance and animal welfare.
Austria does not impose a general national breed ban, but airlines may restrict brachycephalic breeds due to respiratory risk. We review airline policies before confirming transport.
If documentation is incomplete or invalid, Austrian authorities may deny entry, require quarantine, or order return to Canada. Pre-departure validation reduces this risk significantly.
