At PetAir, a successful journey is about much more than getting the paperwork, flights and timings right. The physical and emotional wellbeing of every pet we relocate matters to us, from the preparations at home through to the moment they are reunited with their family at their destination.
Flying introduces pets to new experiences, including unfamiliar surroundings, sounds, smells and routines. Although pets travel in a secure, climate-controlled pet cabin, being well prepared can help make these changes easier to manage. Familiar bedding, positive carrier training and a calm routine before travel can all help create a greater sense of familiarity and reassurance.
We offer 24/7 vet access, which you can learn more about here. This includes behaviour and crate training consultations prior to your pet’s flight.
We’ve also been using Pet Remedy’s calming products on our travel crates and in our kennels and cattery for some time because we’ve seen first-hand how beneficial they can be for pets during their relocation journey.
Why we use Pet Remedy
As part of our pre-flight care, PetAir uses Pet Remedy wipes on pets before they travel. Pet Remedy is designed to support emotional wellbeing and help pets feel more settled during unfamiliar or potentially challenging situations. Their products are designed to help pets feel more relaxed during potentially stressful situations, using a unique blend of essential oils that work alongside the pet’s natural calming mechanisms.
The wipes offer a simple way of bringing Pet Remedy into the travel process immediately before departure. For owners who would like to build greater familiarity beforehand, Pet Remedy can also be introduced at home as part of their pet’s preparation for travel. This means the familiar scent can become associated with calm, positive experiences before the journey even begins. You can also benefit from our 1-2-1 crate training online session with an Accredited Small Animal Behaviourist as part of our vet-led support package when you book our Premium or Premium Plus packages.
Our Partnership with Pet Remedy
We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Pet Remedy – a brand we already know, trust, and use every day.
As part of this new partnership, all signed-up PetAir UK clients will receive an exclusive discount code giving them money off purchases made directly through Pet Remedy. It’s another way we’re helping to make your pet’s relocation as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
We’re also thrilled to be working alongside a company that has recently been recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise – a fantastic achievement and a testament to the quality, innovation, and dedication behind the Pet Remedy brand.
We look forward to continuing to work together and helping even more pets travel calmly, safely, and happily.
Wellbeing throughout the journey
Preparation can make a real difference. Helping a pet become comfortable with their airline-approved pet carrier well in advance, keeping their routine as predictable as possible and introducing travel-related experiences gradually can all help them approach departure with greater confidence. You can learn more about crate training your pet before a flight here.
That care should continue after landing too. Moving home is a significant change for a pet, particularly when their new home is in another country. Giving them time to rest, settle and become accustomed to their new surroundings can be just as important as preparing them for the flight itself.
PetAir’s approach to international pet relocation has always put pets at the centre of the journey. Our partnership with Pet Remedy is another way we can support that commitment, helping us consider how pets feel as well as how they travel.
Because getting them there safely matters. How they feel along the way matters too.
