IPATA

Ipata is the most important worldwide organization that impose a strict standard of conduct.
ReloCat is an IPATA pet shipper since many years, and have a great experience in doing that to worldwide destinations and we are proud to say that we are considered the leading pet travel specialist in the Italian area.
Using an Ipata professional facilitates the process with their knowledge and expertise in flights, flight regulations, flight container requirements, pickup and delivery arrangements, quarantine, boarding, import and export arrangements and proper identification. And as requirements, regulations and restrictions change, a professional stays abreast of these changes and makes the necessary adjustments to your pet’s travel arrangements.

Services provided by the individual members of IPATA vary from company to company and may include the following:

  • Pick-up and Delivery – between airport, kennels, quarantine, veterinarians and home
  • Flight Reservations – with emphasis on airlines and schedules that are best for the well-being of your pet
  • Flight Kennel Sales – the correct type and size in accordance with IATA regulations and to meet the country and airline requirements
  • Health and/or Veterinary Certificates – every country has its own set of regulations and these change frequently.
  • Domestic & International Documentation – consulate legalization, import licenses, transit permits, etc.
  • Long distance road transports

SCAM ALERT!

IPATA is NOT an airline.
IPATA members use the regularly scheduled air passenger and cargo systems to ship pets for relocatiing families.
IPATA members are not the least expensive alternative, but specialize in providing services that are in the best interest of the family pet.
If a company says that the pet will be shipped by IPATA (or a derivative), do not believe it!
Ipata “members” ship pets not IPATA.  The members can NOT use the IPATA trademarked name as part of their company name!  You can search the on-line directory to see if the company is listed.  If they are NOT listed, they are NOT a member! Please enter here to read more!
