Worthey Pet Care:

Whether your animal companion has fur, feathers, scales, or shells, our team is trained to provide logistics, documentation, and physical handling support for safe and humane air travel.

Air travel for animals requires coordination with airlines, veterinarians, and often international authorities. Our team helps streamline this process by managing every step:

• Flight Research & Booking Assistance
  We identify the safest, most pet-appropriate flights for domestic and international travel, including options for in-cabin, checked cargo, or manifest cargo based on animal size and airline policies.
   
• Carrier & Crate Compliance Guidance
  We ensure your pet’s travel crate meets IATA (International Air Transport Association) standards and is labeled and equipped properly for international or long-haul travel.
   
• Veterinary Health Documentation & Endorsement
  We help you obtain required health certificates, vaccination records, parasite treatments, and government endorsements (e.g., USDA APHIS forms for international travel).
   
• Breed & Species-Specific Risk Assessment
  We guide clients on special precautions for flat-faced (brachycephalic) animals, temperature-sensitive species, and those requiring climate control or additional supervision.

Unlike many services that only support dogs and cats, Worthey Pet Care provides air travel support for:

• Birds (parrots, canaries, finches, etc.)
   
• Reptiles & Amphibians (turtles, snakes, frogs, geckos)
   
• Small mammals (rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters)
   
• Fish & Aquatic Species (in approved aquatic containers)
   
• Insects & Arachnids (tarantulas, exotic beetles, etc.)
   
• Service & Emotional Support Animals
   
• Show, competition, or breeding animals
   

Each species is handled in accordance with airline guidelines, temperature protocols, oxygen requirements, and appropriate crate setups. We consult with veterinarians and transport experts to guarantee welfare throughout the flight.

• Airport Drop-Off or Pickup Support
  We provide secure transportation to or from major airports (JFK, LGA, EWR, and others) in climate-controlled vehicles.
   
• Check-In Assistance & Airline Communication
  Our staff assists with cargo intake procedures, TSA clearance, and direct communication with airline representatives.
   
• International Coordination with Customs & Border Agencies
  For global shipments, we assist with customs declarations, quarantine protocols, and pet import/export procedures.
   
• Post-Arrival Support
  In partnership with destination handlers or the receiving party, we confirm safe arrival, manage customs clearance, and arrange follow-up ground transport when needed.

• Experienced with multi-species air logistics
   
• Informed in international animal transport laws & USDA/IATA protocols
   
• 24/7 dispatch and client communication
   
• Fully insured and bonded handlers with exotic animal experience
   
• Gentle, stress-aware staff trained in transport preparation and recovery
   
• Airport escort and day-of-travel assistance for both pets and their owners
   
• Coordination with veterinarians, airlines, and customs agents

At Worthey Pet Care, we treat every animal as a valued individual—not cargo. Whether your pet flies as precious carry-on or carefully handled freight, our mission is to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare, safety, and customer service at every altitude.

Because no matter what species you call family, their journey should be Worthey.
