Dogs and cats, moving to the hard places
Every destination has a shortest legal stay. We get you exactly there.
Some places let a well-prepared pet walk out of the airport the same day. Some have a floor no paperwork can beat, where the fight is 10 days instead of 30. Either way the outcome is decided months early, by sequencing and dates. Pick your destination: the checker is free, the rules come from the government sources themselves, and the plan tells you the truth about what's possible.
Where is your pet moving?
Hawaii
Same-day airport release instead of 120 days of quarantine. The original, for all four islands.
Australia
The 10-day minimum stay instead of 30, from the US or UK, with the 180-day clock protected.
New Zealand
Moving your dog or cat to new zealand.
Japan
Zero quarantine days at the airport counter, with the 180-day wait served at home. Civilian moves and military PCS.
Guam
Moving your dog or cat to guam.
Back to the US
Bringing your dog back into the united states.
UK
Moving a dog or cat to the UK from the US: the whole checklist, free. No quarantine for a compliant entry, and we say so.

The EU entry checklist for US dogs and cats, free, including the October 2026 certificate change.
The same discipline, every destination
- Every rule cites the destination government's own pages and documents, with the sources watched daily for changes. When a rule changes, plans recompute and we re-verify before trusting the engine.
- If we don't know something, we say so. A missing fact stays flagged until you confirm it, and an unknown is never quietly treated as fine.
- Honest promises only. Hawaii and Japan reward perfect paperwork with zero quarantine, and we say so. Australia and New Zealand have a 10-day floor no paperwork can beat, and we say that too, plainly, on the first screen.
- Every plan is a dated timeline with reminders, a calendar download, and per step logging that recomputes everything from what actually happened.
