Door-to-door dog and cat relocation from Chandigarh to anywhere in India and to 60+ countries, by air, escorted train or dedicated road van.
The short answer
Aigan relocates pets from Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula across India, using Shaheed Bhagat Singh International (IXC) for domestic sectors and routing internationally via Delhi. Road relocation across Punjab, Himachal and Haryana is a core service here. Domestic moves from Chandigarh typically run ₹13,000–₹40,000 door to door.
Dog transportation from Chandigarh is straightforward for domestic moves and usually staged through Delhi for anything long-haul, because IXC's live-animal sectors are limited. The tricity is one of the easiest places in India to collect a large dog from. Planned sector housing, good van access, easy parking and almost no gate-pass bureaucracy.
How dog relocation worksCat relocation from Chandigarh benefits from the same easy access, and for the Delhi leg a van carrying multiple cats together costs far less than three separate air freight charges. Spring and autumn here give the most forgiving travel conditions of any city we operate in. Persians get the brachycephalic caution.
How cat transport worksA domestic pet relocation from Chandigarh costs ₹13,000–₹40,000 door to door. Delhi by road sits at the bottom. Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata sit at the top on a connecting sector.
| Type of move | Typical cost | Door-to-door time |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic pet relocation from Chandigarh | ₹13,000 – ₹40,000 | Same day by air; 1–2 days by rail or road |
| International pet relocation from Chandigarh | ₹85,000 – ₹4,50,000 | 2–7 months of preparation |
| Doorstep pickup within Chandigarh | Included in every quote | 55 min buffer to IXC |
| 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 Chandigarh.
The Mohali-side cargo terminal at IXC accepts live animals 3–4 hours ahead subject to carrier acceptance, about 12 km out. Sector choice is thin, so for long-haul we generally recommend driving to DEL instead.
Air transport in detailEscorted rail from Chandigarh Junction works well for brachycephalic breeds, senior dogs and anxious animals, and sidesteps both the summer heat and the winter fog. A full first-class coupé is booked for exclusive use.
Train transport in detailThis is the region's core mode. Vans run to Delhi in about five hours, and across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Uttarakhand. Including Shimla, Dharamshala, Manali and Solan, where road is the only realistic option in that terrain.
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 Chandigarh specifically.
A handler collects from Sector 17, Mohali, Panchkula or Zirakpur and either uses IXC or drives the five hours to Delhi. The tricity is among the easiest places in India to collect from. Planned sector housing, good van access, easy parking and almost no gate-pass bureaucracy, which shows up as shorter buffers and pickup windows we actually hold.
You take your pet to the Mohali-side cargo terminal at IXC. It saves ₹3,000–₹5,500. The limiting factor is not the drive but the sector list: IXC's live-animal capacity is thin, so confirm your specific flight will take your pet before planning around it.
The corridors Chandigarh families move on most, with real timings, real modes and real starting prices.
| Route | Typical mode | Starting cost |
|---|---|---|
| Chandigarh to Delhi pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
| Chandigarh to Bangalore pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
| Chandigarh to Mumbai pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
| Chandigarh to Pune pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
| Chandigarh to Hyderabad pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
| Chandigarh to Jaipur pet transport | Air, or escorted rail | ₹13,000+ |
There is no AQCS station in the region, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Kapashera in Delhi, about five hours by road. International moves from Chandigarh stage through Delhi as a matter of course rather than attempting anything from IXC, and we plan that leg as part of the move.
Moving abroad from Chandigarh?Nothing here is optional, and nothing here is quick. This is the chain, and where Chandigarh sits in it.
There is no AQCS station in the region, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Kapashera in Delhi, about five hours away. International moves from Chandigarh stage through Delhi as a matter of course. You need to be there for the paperwork regardless, which is part of why we recommend driving down rather than flying from IXC.
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 Chandigarh 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.
IXC's limited live-animal capacity means a thin schedule and few alternatives if a sector cancels. Five hours on the road buys a far wider choice out of DEL. And for international moves you need to be in Delhi for the paperwork anyway.
Shimla, Dharamshala, Manali and the Uttarakhand hill towns are road-only, and those runs are scheduled against road conditions and light rather than a flight time. Build in more days than the distance suggests.
It affects both IXC departures and the Delhi road corridor, so there is no clean way around it. We favour daylight road runs through that window and will not drive the plain at 5am in dense fog with an animal aboard.
Chandigarh's spring and autumn are the most forgiving conditions of any city we operate in, and a snub-nosed pet that could not fly from Delhi in May can often travel comfortably from here in March or October. May and June still close the window, and the December fog closes it again. But the shoulder seasons here are genuinely generous.
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 Chandigarh.
What bites: Genuine summer heat, though a shorter window than Delhi or Jaipur.
What we do: Morning or evening departures. Chandigarh rarely needs full pre-dawn scheduling.
What bites: Fog across the whole Punjab plain, affecting both IXC departures and the Delhi road corridor.
What we do: Daylight road runs to Delhi rather than early flights, and a contingency date held throughout.
The specifics we plan a Chandigarh move around. Generic advice is what gets pets turned away at counters.
Chandigarh Air Cargo Terminal, Mohali side. Live animals are accepted 3–4 hours before departure, subject to carrier acceptance.
12 km from most addresses. We build 55 minutes of buffer into every pickup before the acceptance clock starts.
AQCS New Delhi, Kapashera. No station in the region. Delhi is about 5 hours by road, and international moves generally stage there rather than attempting anything from IXC.
Chandigarh is planned, low-rise and easy. Sector housing has good van access and parking is rarely a problem, which makes pickups here among the simplest we do. Mohali and Zirakpur have newer apartment towers with standard gate and lift procedures. Kharar and New Chandigarh are still developing and we confirm approach roads before travel day.
Good veterinary practice across the tricity, but any international certificate has to satisfy AQCS Kapashera. We brief the vet accordingly and plan the Delhi trip into the timeline rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Escorted rail departs from Chandigarh 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 are the practical base for Himachal and Uttarakhand hill pickups, a niche almost nobody else serves properly.
Honest routing advice: we will tell you to drive to Delhi rather than book a thin IXC sector that may not hold.
The tricity is genuinely easy to collect from, and we pass that on in shorter buffers and more reliable pickup windows.
Not a courier drop-off point. A handler comes to your address, at a time that suits your pet's routine.
Domestic moves from Chandigarh run ₹13,000–₹40,000 door to door. Delhi by road sits at the bottom of that band; Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata sit at the top, usually on a connecting sector. International relocation runs ₹85,000–₹4,50,000 and routes through Delhi rather than IXC.
