What is the transport service – import and export for pets?

Pet shipping is a transportation industry that deals with the transportation of animals, specifically pets, and often by plane. Unlike the transportation of livestock and poultry, which are normally transported by road, pets are a special item of interest to owners, so this service must have convenience. and pet comfort means corresponding prices. This service is a solution for sending “special goods” exclusively for individuals or organizations selling pets.

Pets that do not meet regulations will be sent to the detention facility of Animal Quarantine Service for up to 180 days of quarantine.
