Questions about pet shipping to Halifax
How does my pet get from the Halifax warehouse to the door?
We can run door-to-door ground delivery from the CargoJet facility at Halifax Stanfield International Airport to the final address, or you can collect at the warehouse yourself.
Does my pet need a health certificate to fly to Halifax on CargoJet?
No. CargoJet does not ask for a health certificate or a rabies certificate for a pet on a domestic flight inside Canada. That is the carrier's policy on a domestic route, not a government rule, and vaccination is still a decision for you and your vet.
What crate does my pet need?
A crate that meets the IATA Live Animal Regulations for size, ventilation, door and labelling, with food and water bowls attached. We source one or tell you exactly which to buy.
Can weather stop a pet flight to Halifax?
Yes. Live animal cargo is embargoed when ground temperatures at either end are outside safe ranges, typically above 30°C or below -10°C. We watch the forecast and move the date, or drive instead, rather than fly into an embargo.
How much does it cost to ship a pet to Halifax on CargoJet?
It is quoted per shipment and never under our $465 CAD minimum charge. The quote covers our ground legs to the Hamilton or Moncton warehouse plus CargoJet's own cargo rate, which moves with your pet's weight and the size of the crate.
