Overlooking winter weather or summer heat restrictions
London sees cold winters and warm summers, so timing matters at both ends of the year. Airlines set temperature limits for animals in cargo in extreme cold and extreme heat, and we plan your London move around the forecast, picking the safest departure window from YXU and adjusting routing when the weather does not cooperate.
Most London-area pets depart from London International (YXU), the main airport for the area. When it does not have the right routing for your dates, we plan around a larger Canadian hub to keep the journey short. We handle the check-in timing and the airline’s crate and booking rules so the airport day stays calm and predictable.
Yes. Many London families want the whole move handled, so we can arrange ground pickup from your home, the airport hand-off, and delivery at the other end. One coordinator stays with the journey from your London door to the destination.
Yes. London has limited direct international service, so many overseas moves connect through a larger Canadian hub. We plan the full route from your London pickup, prepare the destination’s import paperwork and the CFIA export endorsement, and keep the timing tight. See our destination guides.
We arrange pickups across London and nearby communities like St. Thomas, Strathroy, Woodstock, and we coordinate pet moves throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada through our service areas. We also coordinate moves in nearby Toronto.
Every London move is priced on its own, because the route, airline fees, your pet’s size and crate, the season, and the destination’s rules all change the total. Tell us where and when, and we’ll put together an estimate: request a quote.
