A Stress-Free Journey for Your Pet — and for You
Let’s be honest: the world of international pet relocation can feel overwhelming. Between coordinating travel arrangements, understanding regulatory requirements, and worrying about your animal’s welfare, it’s a lot to manage on top of an international move.
Blue Route Shipping takes all of that off your plate. We act as your pet’s travel agent, planning their itinerary, managing all the logistics, and making sure every requirement is met well in advance. While we handle the whole process, you can focus on your own transition knowing your furry friend is in safe, experienced hands.

What Types of Pet Travel Crates Does Blue Routes Shipping Offer?
Pre-Constructed IATA-Compliant Crates
We offer a full range of fiberglass crates with metal screws that meet all of International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Live Animal Regulations (LAR). These crates are leak proof, have spacers all around the crate to ensure ventilation is not restricted, and have a single door. We only offer crate brands and options that we have verified all flight requirements are met, meaning you don’t have to worry about whether you purchased the correct size or type of crate.
Custom-Built Pet Travel Crates
Customized wooden crates are typically required if your dog is extra large, like a great dane or mastiff, a restricted breed like a dogo Argentina, or a powerful chewer like a pit bull. In these cases, we will get custom measurements and then have a crate built that meets Live Animal Regulations but keeps your pet comfortable and safe during their flight. In these instances, we will assess your pet’s height, length, weight, and width to ensure the crate is tailor-made for them.
Crate Selection Guidance
At Blue Route Shipping, we understand both safety and cost are important to pet owners. For this reason, we are happy to provide guidance on crate selections for those individuals who prefer to price compare across multiple platforms. Keep in mind that Blue Route shipping does not assume responsibility for any crates not purchased directly from us, and purchasing a crate that is sized incorrectly or doesn’t meet regulations may result in your pet being rejected at the airport.
