Top 5+ Pet Relocation Companies in Vietnam for International and Domestic Moves
Vietnam has become a busy crossroads for people on the move, and their pets are moving with them. Choosing the right relocation company can be the difference between a calm journey and a stressful one.
The market now ranges from veterinary-led specialists to broad relocation firms and domestic transport services. Each fits a different kind of move.
This guide reviews the main options for international and domestic pet moves in Vietnam, with the strengths and the type of pet parent each suits best.
How we evaluated these companies
We focused on the factors that decide whether a move goes smoothly. Five points carried the most weight.
Credentials came first, including IPATA membership and compliance with IATA Live Animals Regulations. Veterinary capacity was next, since health planning shapes a safe trip.
We also looked at the service range, from door-to-door transport to paperwork-only support. Transparency on process and pricing mattered, as did communication during the journey.
No provider can guarantee a flawless trip. The goal is to find the team that plans carefully and manages risk well.
1. Pet Adventures – best for veterinary-backed international moves
Pet Adventures, a veterinary-led pet relocation company in Vietnam, operates as the relocation brand of Animal Doctors International (ADI) in Ho Chi Minh City. Its clinical foundation is a major advantage, supported by a network of three clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, one in Hanoi, and another in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This infrastructure streamlines health assessments and clinical preparations for travel.
The team holds IPATA membership and operates in accordance with IATA Live Animals Regulations. Its specialists speak several languages, including English, French, Vietnamese, and other regional languages, which helps expat and regional families.
Service options are broad. They cover transport by air and transport by land for shorter regional routes. A Flight Concierge service provides dedicated travel assistance for pets on selected routes, and standalone paperwork support is available.
Documented client relocations, such as Pet Adventures’ pet relocation from Vietnam to Australia, reflect the team’s hands-on experience.

2. Asia Relocation Vietnam – best for full household moves
Asia Relocation offers pet transport inside a broader moving service. For families shipping a household and a pet at once, that single point of contact is convenient.
The firm follows IATA regulations, coordinates vet checks and microchipping, and offers home-visit pre-screenings in Ho Chi Minh City. Its network and standardized process are real advantages.
Best for: families coordinating a larger relocation who want pets handled alongside the move. The trade-off is that it is not a pet-exclusive specialist.
3. Global Pet Relocation Vietnam: best for export-focused international moves
Global Pet Relocation Vietnam, based in Ho Chi Minh City, focuses specifically on pet import and export. It is an active IPATA member and coordinates door-to-door moves using IATA-compliant crates.
Owners highlight its hands-on support on complex routes, from Vietnam to the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. One noted trade-off is a 5:00 PM daily closing time.
Best for: pet parents who want an export-focused specialist for international routes out of Vietnam.
4. Transcontinental Pet Movers – best for US–Vietnam routes
Transcontinental Pet Movers is an IPATA agent that arranges moves between the United States and Vietnam, with onward transport to cities such as Hanoi and Da Nang.
The company provides full documentation support, shares a clear itinerary, and offers local pet taxi service in both countries. Its route specialization is the draw.
Best for: families moving specifically between the US and Vietnam who want an established trans-Pacific agent.
5. Air Transport Animal – best for full-procedure international packages
Air Transport Animal handles animal shipping to and from Vietnam, with premium packages that take on export and import formalities for you.
It sets clear minimum timelines for preparation and outlines Vietnam’s core entry requirements. That structure helps first-time movers avoid surprises.
Best for: owners who want a hands-off, full-procedure international package.
Plus: domestic and intercity moves within Vietnam
For moves inside Vietnam, several services focus on road and rail transport between cities. Rail-based providers, for instance, offer pickup and drop-off points along the North–South line.
International moves add layers that domestic transport does not: airline booking, crate compliance, and customs clearance. The right choice depends on whether the journey crosses a border.
How to choose the right company for your move
Match the provider to the move, not the other way around. A strict international destination calls for a specialist with strong credentials and veterinary depth.
A full household relocation may favor an all-in-one firm. A domestic move can lean on a reliable intercity service.
Whatever you choose, confirm IPATA or IATA alignment, ask how the team handles delays, and insist on a clear, itemized estimate before you book.
Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a pet relocation company in Vietnam?
Check for IPATA membership, IATA-compliant crates, veterinary support, transparent pricing, and clear communication throughout the journey.
Do I need a microchip before vaccinating my pet for travel?
Yes. A pet must be microchipped first, then vaccinated against rabies. A vaccine given before the microchip is often not accepted for entry.
How much does international pet relocation from Vietnam cost?
It varies by route, pet size, crate, and service level. Ask for an itemized estimate, and review published cost guides before committing.
