Travelling With Your Pet? Start Here.
Understand what your journey involves before you commit.
Travelling with a pet involves more than getting from one place to another. Your pet’s needs, your journey, where you’re going, travel requirements and what happens if something goes wrong all need to be considered.
ZULSIRA helps you understand what applies to your journey, what to consider first and where to go next
Wherever you are in your pet travel journey.
ZULSIRA brings pet travel guidance together — from getting your pet travel-ready for everyday and local journeys to international and cross-border country requirements, journey-specific guidance, practical resources and first aid.
Start wherever you are. ZULSIRA helps you understand what applies, what needs to be done and where to go next.

Travelling with a pet affects more than the journey
Before you decide how or where to travel, understand the main things that can affect your pet, your plans and what may need to be in place.
🐾 Is the journey right for your pet?
Consider your pet’s health, age, temperament, mobility, behaviour and ability to cope with the conditions involved.
⛵ 🚐 ✈️ How will you travel?
Sailing, overland travel and flying create different environments, restrictions, routines and responsibilities.
🌍 Where are you going?
Countries can have different entry, transit, health and documentation requirements — and requirements can change.
⏱ How much time do you have?
Some vaccinations, tests, documents, training and other requirements may need to begin weeks or months before travel.
🛡 What needs to be ready?
Health, documentation, training, equipment, routines and practical arrangements all form part of getting your pet ready to travel.
✚ What happens if something goes wrong?
Know how you will get veterinary help, provide first aid, change your plans or arrange care for your pet if you cannot.
You do not need to solve everything at once.
Start by understanding your journey. ZULSIRA will help you work through what applies to you and your pet.
Where are you starting from?
Whether you’re thinking about travelling with a pet, adding a pet to the way you already travel, or you’re already travelling together, start with the journey that best matches your situation.

Not ready to choose? That’s fine. ZULSIRA shows All Information until you select a pathway.
Your pathway follows you through ZULSIRA, and you can change it at any time using Change in the pathway bar above.
⛵ Sailing with your pet
Life aboard can mean motion, heat, confinement, limited access to veterinary care and fewer options when conditions change.
Think about: Your pet • your boat • time away from land • emergency care
🚐 Overland travel with your pet
Road travel can mean long distances, changing climates, border crossings, unfamiliar places and managing your pet safely in and around your vehicle.
Think about: Your pet • your vehicle • journey length • borders and stopping places
✈️ Flying with your pet
You may need to fly with your pet — or arrange separate travel — when joining or leaving your boat or vehicle, returning home or continuing your journey. Flying can mean unfamiliar handling, confinement, strict carrier rules and airline or country requirements.
Think about: your pet’s journey • airline requirements • carrier requirements • destination rules
