At The Pet Porters, we are honored to serve the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Military relocations can be demanding and complex — especially when pets are involved. Our specialized military pet shipping services are designed to reduce stress, ensure compliance, and keep your family together during every PCS move.
Whether you are relocating domestically or overseas, our experienced team manages the logistics so you can focus on your transition and your mission.

Military assignments often come with short timelines and strict requirements. We provide structured, step-by-step guidance to ensure your pet meets all airline, USDA, and international import regulations.
- International and domestic pet relocation planning
- Airline coordination and flight booking
- Veterinary documentation and health certificate guidance
- Import permits and customs clearance assistance
- Quarantine coordination when required

Our goal is simple: make military pet relocation smooth, organized, and stress-free.
Military Discounts & Boarding Support
As a token of appreciation for your service, we proudly offer:
- Exclusive military discounts on consultation services
- Up to seven (7) days of complimentary boarding in our private, on-property kennel
- Flexible planning support based on PCS timelines
We understand that housing arrangements and travel schedules don’t always align perfectly. Our boarding support helps bridge that gap safely and comfortably for your pet.
