Relocating family pets (dogs, cats, birds) and priceless fragile valuables—such as oil paintings, marble sculptures, antique clocks, and glass artifacts—demands specialized logistics far beyond standard house shifting. At Apna Cargo & Movers (Govt. MSME Registered: UDYAM-PB-20-0139405 | GSTIN: 03DHEPK1882E1ZM | ISO 9001:2015 Certified | IBA Approved), alongside our dedicated Car Carrier and Vehicle Transport services, we provide dedicated pet transport protocols and handcrafted ISPM-15 wooden crating to ensure stress-free, damage-free transit across India.

1. Safe & Humane Domestic Pet Relocation Protocols

Moving domestic animals over long distances requires careful attention to climate control, ventilation, and stress reduction. Our domestic pet relocation services adhere to strict animal welfare standards:

  • IATA-Compliant Travel Crates: We deploy spacious, well-ventilated, chew-proof travel carriers customized to your pet’s height and weight.
  • Hydration & Scheduled Feeding Stops: For interstate road transit, our handlers maintain strict feeding, hydration, and walking schedules at verified highway halts.
  • Veterinary Health Clearance: Guidance on obtaining mandatory fitness-to-travel certificates, rabies vaccination records, and health passports required for interstate checkposts.

2. Custom ISPM-15 Wooden Crating for Fine Art & Sculptures

Fine art, delicate glasswork, and heavy marble statues cannot withstand standard cardboard packaging. We build custom, on-site ISPM-15 heat-treated wooden crates designed to exact dimensions:

  1. Anti-Vibration Inner Lining: High-density EVA shock-absorption foam and anti-static ESD wrapping line the interior walls of the wooden crate.
  2. Corner Guards & Moisture Barrier: Multi-layer waterproof stretch film seals out humidity, atmospheric moisture, and dust during transit.
  3. Custom Internal Bracing: Securely locks sculptures and glass panels in place to prevent internal movement or contact damage.

3. All-Risk Transit Insurance & Zero-Transshipment Guarantee

To give art collectors, antique owners, and pet parents complete peace of mind, every high-value shipment includes comprehensive All-Risk Transit Insurance. Under our Zero-Transshipment Guarantee, fine art and personal belongings are loaded into a single dedicated container that remains sealed from pickup until final destination delivery.

4. Official Reimbursement Bills for Bank, Military & Corporate Officers

Bank managers, defence officers, and corporate executives relocating on official transfer receive a complete, audit-ready billing package for pet and heirloom transit. Our documentation includes official GST tax invoices (GSTIN: 03DHEPK1882E1ZM), LR consignment notes, and itemized payment vouchers for 100% reimbursement approval.
