Travelling to or from regional Australia with your pet? Jetpets makes it simple, safe and stress free. Whether you are moving house, visiting family, or planning an extended stay, our team is here to ensure your furry friend is looked after every step of the way. From road transport through country towns to connecting flights across states, we will handle the details so you and your pet can focus on the adventure ahead.
Getting Your Pet Around Regional Australia
Road and Air Travel Options
Reaching regional towns often requires more than just a direct flight. Jetpets coordinates both road and air travel to get your pet exactly where they need to go. Our professional drivers safely handle the road legs, while our airline partners take care of the skies. This combination allows us to transport pets to even the most remote destinations, from mining towns in WA to coastal holiday spots in Queensland.
With Jetpets managing the entire journey, you do not need to worry about juggling multiple providers. We organise everything from door to door pickup through to final delivery, ensuring a seamless experience for both you and your pet.
Seasonal Considerations
Australia’s summer heat can create challenges for pet travel, especially in outback and regional areas. Jetpets carefully plans around weather conditions, selecting the safest travel times and routes. Our vehicles and transit lounges are climate controlled, and our team is trained to monitor your pet’s wellbeing throughout the journey. If high temperatures pose a risk, we will adjust the schedule to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
Health and Vet Requirements
Before your pet begins their journey, it is important to make sure they are healthy and ready to travel. Depending on the destination, some pets may need vaccinations, up-to-date worming treatments or veterinary health certificates. Sedation is generally not recommended, but our team can provide advice if you are concerned about anxiety. Jetpets will guide you through all the veterinary requirements so you feel fully prepared for your pet’s trip.
Support Along the Way
Transit Lounge Facilities
At major transport hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane Jetpets offers dedicated transit lounges designed just for your pets. These facilities provide a calm and secure space for your furry friend to relax between connections. Our team provides water, food and comfort breaks, so your pet arrives at their destination happy and settled.
Boarding Options for Longer Stays
If you need short term or long term boarding while travelling through regional areas, Jetpets can assist. We work with trusted boarding partners nationwide, ensuring pets enjoy safe and comfortable accommodation if you are delayed or require extra time. Whether it is a few nights or several weeks, we will make sure your pet receives the best care possible until you are reunited.
Real Time Updates and Tracking
We know how important it is to stay connected during your pet’s journey. Jetpets provides regular updates so you will always know how your pet is doing. Our CareTags even allow you to follow their progress on a geographical map, giving you peace of mind in real time.
Handling the Unexpected
24/7 Support Hotline
Regional pet transportation can bring unexpected changes such as weather disruptions or cancelled flights. With Jetpets, you are never left on your own. Our 24/7 support hotline means there is always someone available to help rebook flights, adjust road transfers, or provide updates if travel plans shift. No matter the circumstances, your pet will always be cared for.
Preparing Your Pet for Regional Travel
Before sending your pet off on their journey, it is important to pack the essentials. Items such as a sturdy lead and collar with ID tags, favourite toys or blankets and any medications will help keep them comfortable and secure. Jetpets provides airline approved travel crates, tailored advice for your pet’s needs, and guidance on preparing their vet documents. Our team will make sure you are fully prepared before the trip begins.
