Door-to-door dog and cat relocation from Ahmedabad to anywhere in India and to 60+ countries, by air, escorted train or dedicated road van.
The short answer
Aigan relocates pets from Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar across India and to the Gulf, USA and UK, flying from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (AMD) with escorted rail from Ahmedabad Junction. Dedicated road vans serve the Gujarat corridor. Domestic moves from Ahmedabad typically run ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door.
Dog transportation from Ahmedabad is a half-year scheduling problem. Ground temperatures here regularly pass 42°C between April and June, which is well beyond the live-animal ceiling, so acceptance is refused for most of the day. We book night departures in those months and decline daytime bookings rather than taking the money and hoping. The 10 km airport run helps more here than anywhere.
How dog relocation worksCat relocation from Ahmedabad runs strongly to the Gulf, the UK and the US alongside domestic corridors. The short airport run matters for cats as much as dogs in peak summer. Less time in transit before handover is real heat exposure avoided. Persians and Himalayans get the brachycephalic caution, which in a 42°C Ahmedabad summer is a hard limit rather than a preference.
How cat transport worksA domestic pet relocation from Ahmedabad costs ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door. Mumbai, Surat and Vadodara by road sit at the bottom. Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata sit at the top.
| Type of move | Typical cost | Door-to-door time |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic pet relocation from Ahmedabad | ₹14,000 – ₹42,000 | Same day by air; 1–2 days by rail or road |
| International pet relocation from Ahmedabad | ₹85,000 – ₹4,50,000 | 2–7 months of preparation |
| Doorstep pickup within Ahmedabad | Included in every quote | 55 min buffer to AMD |
| IATA crate, vet certificate & permits | Itemised separately, never bundled | Arranged 7–14 days ahead |
The biggest single cost driver is not your pet's body weight. It is the volumetric weight of the crate, which is why we measure your pet at home rather than estimating from a breed chart.
See the full cost breakdownWe pick the mode for your pet's breed, size, age and the season, not for our convenience. Here is what each one actually looks like from Ahmedabad.
The Hansol cargo complex at AMD accepts live animals 4 hours before departure, and at roughly 10 km from most of the city it is one of the shortest airport runs in our network. Between April and June, night departures only.
Air transport in detailEscorted rail from Ahmedabad Junction is worth serious consideration in peak summer, because it sidesteps the heat embargo problem entirely. A full first-class coupé is booked for your pet with a handler travelling alongside.
Train transport in detailDedicated vans run the Gujarat corridor to Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot and Bhuj, and on to Mumbai. For intra-Gujarat moves road is usually simply better than flying. No crate hold time and no acceptance cut-off to miss.
Road transport in detailTwo ways to buy a pet relocation, and the difference is who does the driving and the paperwork. Here is what each one means in Ahmedabad specifically.
A handler collects from Satellite, Bodakdev, Prahlad Nagar, Gandhinagar or anywhere across the city and drives to the Hansol cargo complex. About 10 km, the shortest airport run in our network. On a 42°C afternoon that short leg is not a convenience, it is materially less heat load on your pet before handover.
You take your pet to Hansol yourself. It saves ₹3,500–₹6,000 and the short drive makes it more practical here than in most cities. The catch is the schedule: from April to June the only compliant slots are at night, so you are doing a cargo handover at 2am.
The corridors Ahmedabad families move on most, with real timings, real modes and real starting prices.
| Route | Typical mode | Starting cost |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmedabad to Mumbai pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
| Ahmedabad to Delhi pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
| Ahmedabad to Bangalore pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
| Ahmedabad to Pune pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
| Ahmedabad to Hyderabad pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
| Ahmedabad to Jaipur pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹14,000+ |
Gujarat has no AQCS station, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Mumbai in Sahar. A full day each way. It is entirely manageable, but only if it is in the plan from week one. The US, UK and East Africa are unusually strong corridors from AMD alongside heavy Gulf volume to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.
Moving abroad from Ahmedabad?Nothing here is optional, and nothing here is quick. This is the chain, and where Ahmedabad sits in it.
Gujarat has no AQCS station, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Mumbai in Sahar. A full day each way. Every international move from Ahmedabad involves that trip, and discovering it in the final fortnight is how these timelines break. We also check destination breed bans before anyone pays for a titre test, because the Gulf corridors from here are busy and the UAE prohibits several breeds outright.
Documentation & NOC in full| Document | When | Domestic / international |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 15-digit microchip | Before rabies vaccination | International |
| Rabies vaccination | Within 12 months, after microchip | Both |
| Rabies titre (FAVN) test | 21+ days after vaccination | International |
| Fitness-to-fly certificate | Within 10 days of travel | Both |
| AQCS export health certificate | 24–48 hrs before departure | International |
| Destination import permit | Varies by country, 1–6 months | International |
The order matters more than the list. A titre test drawn before the microchip was fitted does not count, and redoing it costs three weeks.
Three things go wrong on Ahmedabad moves more than anything else. None of them are difficult to avoid, and all of them are easier to fix three weeks out than three days out.
Above 42°C there is no compliant daytime window. Any company offering you a mid-day April departure from Ahmedabad has not checked the carrier's temperature policy, and the refusal will happen at acceptance with your pet already crated.
There is no quarantine station in Gujarat. Every international move from Ahmedabad involves a Sahar inspection. Discovering that in the final fortnight is how these timelines fall apart.
The Gulf corridors from Ahmedabad are busy, and the UAE prohibits several breeds outright. Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bullies and Mastiff types. Confirm your dog is admissible before spending anything on serology.
Ahmedabad is the hardest city in our network for snub-nosed pets. Above 42°C there is no compliant daytime window for any live animal, and for brachycephalic breeds the ceiling is lower still. From April to June we will usually recommend escorted rail from Ahmedabad Junction rather than a night flight, and we would rather lose the booking than put a Pug in a hold in a Gujarat summer.
Read the full brachycephalic guideAirlines stop accepting live animals above roughly 28–29°C on the ground. These are the windows that actually close in Ahmedabad.
What bites: Ground temperatures above 42°C. Live-animal acceptance is refused for most of the day, and the window that remains is narrow.
What we do: Night departures only, and we say no to daytime bookings in these months rather than taking the money and hoping. The short airport run helps here more than anywhere.
What bites: Monsoon, milder than Mumbai but enough to delay sectors.
What we do: Contingency date held, though most Ahmedabad monsoon moves go as booked.
The specifics we plan a Ahmedabad move around. Generic advice is what gets pets turned away at counters.
Ahmedabad Air Cargo Complex, Hansol. Live animals are accepted 4 hours before departure for manifest cargo.
10 km from most addresses. We build 55 minutes of buffer into every pickup before the acceptance clock starts.
AQCS Mumbai, Sahar. Gujarat has no quarantine station, so international export certification routes through Mumbai. That is a full day each way and it has to be in the plan from week one.
Satellite, Bodakdev, Prahlad Nagar, Bopal and Thaltej are mostly mid-rise with straightforward access and good parking, which makes Ahmedabad pickups among the easiest we do. Maninagar and the older city are denser with narrower lanes, so we confirm van access there. Gandhinagar is planned and simple throughout.
Because international paperwork routes through Mumbai, we want the health certificate written to AQCS Mumbai's expectations, not to a domestic-flight format. We brief the vet on that directly rather than assuming it.
Escorted rail departs from Ahmedabad Junction. We recommend it for snub-nosed breeds, senior pets and anxious animals regardless of what is fastest.
Three things that are true here specifically, not three things every pet transport company in India claims.
We decline daytime summer bookings rather than accepting them and failing at acceptance, which is the difference between a quote and a plan.
The shortest airport run in the network at 10 km, which on a 42°C day is genuine heat exposure avoided rather than a scheduling nicety.
Gulf, US and UK routing experience from AMD, with breed admissibility checked in week one rather than after you have paid for testing.
Not a courier drop-off point. A handler comes to your address, at a time that suits your pet's routine.
Domestic moves from Ahmedabad run ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door. Mumbai, Surat and Vadodara by road sit at the bottom of that band; Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata sit at the top. International relocation from AMD runs ₹85,000–₹4,50,000, and you should budget an extra day for the Mumbai paperwork leg.
