Questions about pet shipping from Hamilton
Where does my pet board CargoJet in Hamilton?
At the CargoJet facility at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, 9300 Airport Road, Unit 110, Mount Hope, ON L0R 1W0. We collect your pet by ground from the breeder, shelter or home and bring them to the warehouse ourselves, so you never have to find the cargo building.
Does my pet need a health certificate to fly from Hamilton 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 from Hamilton?
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 from Hamilton on CargoJet?
It is quoted per shipment and never under our $465 CAD minimum charge. The quote covers our ground legs plus CargoJet's own cargo rate, which moves with your pet's weight and the size of the crate.
