Your pet's seat is booked.
Pakistan to anywhere — vet, permits, cargo, customs, door. One fare, every step handled.
Before the airport, everything.
Moving a pet out of Pakistan is a paperwork project with a heartbeat. Every certificate has a validity window and an order — we sequence all of it so nothing expires before departure day.
The clock starts at the clinic
ISO microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate — done in the right order, because a vaccine given before the chip doesn't count and resets your timeline.
The paperwork gauntlet
FAVN blood test at an approved lab abroad, NAFSA export certificate through Pakistan Single Window, destination import permit — timed so every window overlaps departure day.
A seat that fits
Sized, ventilated, airline-approved — and the booking confirmed in writing before you pay a rupee. Verbal airline approvals evaporate at check-in; written ones don't.
The part you're scared of is the part we've done 200 times.
CARGO · 01Manifest cargo, never excess baggage — a live-animal waybill with your pet's name on it.
CARGO · 02Pressurized, temperature-controlled hold — the same air as the cabin, two decks down.
CARGO · 03Status updates at every handoff — vet, check-in, wheels up, landed, cleared.
Landed, cleared, delivered.
Customs clearance is coordinated before wheels touch down, and the journey ends at your new front door — not a cargo warehouse counter in a country you landed in yesterday.

What pet parents ask us
How much does it cost to send a pet abroad from Pakistan?
It depends almost entirely on the destination's rules. A cat to Dubai can run around $1,000–1,600 all-in; a dog to the UK is a $2,800–4,500 project because of the titer test and cargo-only entry; Australia is a staged year-long move from $12,000. Every corridor page on this site shows its typical range — your quote is one all-in number.
What is a rabies titer test and does my pet need one?
Pakistan is classified as a high-risk rabies country by the UK, US, EU, and Australia, so most Western destinations require a blood test (FAVN) proving the rabies vaccine worked. The sample is drawn in Pakistan and tested at an approved lab abroad. Some destinations then impose a waiting period — the UK's is 3 months — which is why we start the clock at your first message.
Can my pet fly in the cabin with me?
Sometimes. It depends on the airline, the route, your pet's size, and the destination's entry rules — the UK, for example, only accepts pets as manifest cargo. We tell you what your corridor allows and get the airline's confirmation in writing either way.
How do I know this isn't a scam?
Fair question — fake pet shippers are the industry's biggest plague, and we built TailFares around that fear. Nothing is charged until you approve a written plan, airline bookings are confirmed in writing before payment, and you can verify every permit yourself on the Pakistan Single Window portal. You watch every step happen on WhatsApp.
My flight is in three weeks. Is that enough time?
For the UAE or Canada, usually yes. For the US (dogs), UK, or Australia — no, those corridors have mandatory waiting periods. If you're emigrating later this year, message us now even if the move feels far away: starting the titer early is free insurance on your travel date.
