Pet transport to Portugal
If you’re thinking of relocating or moving to another place within Portugal and don’t want to leave that special furry member of the family behind, Relopet can help you transport your pet. No matter where you are thinking of moving to, we offer pet transport services so that your furry friend is always with you.
3 modes of pet transport
All our trips are accompanied, except if it is impossible due to airline restrictions (Weight >45 kg. and some dog breads)
Shared pet transport
Our agents travel with your animals and another one from another client. Maximum 4 animals per companion. If you pick up at the airport there is no waiting time. Home delivery must be considered, it is not included.
All customers must agree on the date of travel and there is no home delivery, only to the airport of destination.
Combined pet transport
Our agent only transports your animals, and on the return flight travels with the animals of another client. You may need to change the date of your trip by one or two days. More economical than an exclusive trip.
The date of travel may differ by 1 or 2 days from the date you wish, we can deliver/collect to your home, but the date is set by us.
Exclusive pet transport
Our agent travels the day you want, at home, taking only your animals. A TOP service where we only work for you, but at a slightly higher cost.
Whatever you want, wherever and whenever you want. We make the trip just for your beloved pets.

Price of pet transportation to Portugal
We frequently receive questions like “How much does it cost to send a dog to Portugal?”. “What is the price of taking my cat to another country?”. The price of transporting or shipping a pet to Portugal depends on:
- The transport route: The route selected to transport the pet will influence the total price of the service.
- The cost set by the airlines: If the shipment is made by plane, the price must be increased by the amount set by the airline for the transport of the pet in the cabin or hold.
- Characteristics of the pet: Depending on the species and size of the animal, the cost of transportation may vary.
- Origin and destination addresses: The distance between the origin and destination addresses, as well as the ease of transportation, will influence the cost of the service.
Information on transporting pets to Portugal
Before collecting the necessary documentation to proceed with the transport of our pets, we must take into account some restrictions:

- Pets from Latin American countries may not travel to Portugal if they are under 7 months old. This restriction will be applied depending on the country of origin of the pet.

The pet should be checked by a veterinarian to evaluate its condition.
A certificate of vaccination of the pet.
An international pet health certificate.
A sanitary export permit for the pet animal.
