Which Asian Countries Can Jetpets Transport Pets To?
Jetpets can assist with transporting pets from Australia to a number of destinations across Asia. The Asian countries we currently transport pets to include:
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- India
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Philippines
- Singapore
- South Korea
- Thailand
- Vietnam
Import requirements vary between countries, so the preparation process will depend on where your pet is heading. From veterinary requirements to entry regulations, each destination has its own set of considerations.
We recommend organising your pet’s international travel as early as possible, with 6 months in advance being optimal, particularly for longer journeys or destinations with specific vaccination and veterinary requirements. Planning ahead gives our team at Jetpets enough time to arrange the necessary documentation, vaccinations, health checks, treatments, flights and travel crate, while allowing time to address any requirements or unexpected hurdles before departure. Every pet move is different, so your Jetpets Pet Travel Consultant will work with you to create a personalised travel plan and ensure your pet is prepared for their journey to Asia.

The end-of-year holiday season is one of the busiest travel periods in Australia, making extra planning essential when flying with your pet. Whether you’re travelling interstate or overseas, preparing ahead helps ensure your furry friend enjoys a safe, comfortable, and stress-free journey.
- Choose a pet-friendly destination that suits your pet’s temperament and research any local pet restrictions.
- Book pet-friendly accommodation early, as demand is high over the Christmas and New Year period.
- Allow extra travel time during peak holiday traffic and busy airports.
- Be prepared for fireworks and loud celebrations by creating a calm, quiet space for your pet.
- Keep festive hazards such as chocolate, alcohol, tinsel, ornaments, and fairy lights out of reach.
- Research emergency veterinary clinics at your destination and ensure your pet’s medical records, ID tags, and microchip details are up to date.
Our number one tip for flying with cats or dogs during Christmas in Australia is to travel with a company who knows what they’re doing! At Jetpets, we specialise in pet-friendly travel, and can get your tiniest friends to their dream destination with ease. So, whether you’re after interstate pet travel or overseas pet transport, get in touch with Jetpets to plan a fun journey for you and your pet
A few simple tips to help ease your pet after arrival:
- Offer fresh water and a light meal once they’ve had a chance to unwind.
- Head out for a gentle walk to stretch their legs and let them explore.
- Set up a cosy, quiet place where they can rest and relax.

When your pets are travelling with Jetpets through selected locations such as Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney they may travel via our transit lounges where they will be looked after prior or post their flight – depending on the selected travel itinerary, by our in-house Veterinarians and Pet Handlers.
Our trained teams will ensure that pets can stretch their legs, remain hydrated and cared for during their stay with us and our short-term transit facility keeps them safe and snug in our climate-controlled kennels and cattery for short stays during their travel.
When travelling via our Jetpets Transit Lounges, our pet handlers provide Pet Travel Updates. These updates allow our team to keep you informed about how your furry family member is travelling, giving you extra peace of mind while they’re in our care – This way, you are able to see photos of your fur-baby while apart from them, keeping your mind at ease and reassuring you that they are doing well during their travels!
