Partnering Vets

Our Partnering Vets are experts in international pet transport and can provide the treatments and vaccinations required to travel into Japan.  The Veterinary team will ensure that all documents required for overseas travel are carried out accurately and meet all government requirements.  All of our Partnering Vets are accredited to clear your pet for international travel and to make it easy they regularly attend our Transit Lounge.

Transit Lounge

Our Transit Lounge is conveniently located near Auckland airport and allows for priority check in so your travelling pet will arrive at the airport in perfect timing.  We provide a relaxing and stress-free environment for your pet and give them the opportunity to relax out of their crate before their big journey ahead.  Our highly trained Pet Handlers will take care of your pets like their own and give them the love and attention they deserve.  Our purpose built Transit Lounge has short term accommodation provisions for delayed or cancelled flights for your peace of mind.

Experienced Pet Handlers

All Jetpets Pet Handlers are specifically trained in pet handling and are genuine pet lovers.  They are available to personally come to your house and professionally fit your pet to the perfect sized crate (in local areas) prior to your pet’s travel to Japan.  The Pet Handling Team will take care of your pet on the day of travel, giving them plenty of love, attention and walks and check your pet in for their flight at the airport.

What Happens At The Airport?

• The captain of the aircraft is aware that your loved one is on board their flight
• The captain will set the temperature to approx. 18 degrees Celsius so that the animals are comfortable
• The cabin is dimly lit so that your loved one can see what is going on around them
• What we feel and hear in the cabin of the plane is the same as what animals experience (except in a travel crate they have much more legroom than us!)
