Door-to-door dog and cat relocation from Pune to anywhere in India and to 60+ countries, by air, escorted train or dedicated road van.
The short answer
Aigan relocates pets from Pune across India, using Pune Airport (PNQ) for domestic sectors and routing via Mumbai (BOM) for most international departures. Road moves on the Mumbai–Pune corridor are same-day and door-to-door. Domestic moves from Pune typically run ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door.
Dog transportation from Pune usually starts with us telling you to drive to Mumbai. PNQ has genuinely limited live-animal capacity, so the sector choice is thin and a cancellation leaves few alternatives. For large dogs in particular, four hours on the expressway to BOM buys a far wider schedule and a much better chance of travelling on the day you planned.
How dog relocation worksCat relocation from Pune is more often viable direct from PNQ than dog transport is, because a cat crate is small enough for in-cabin carriage where the carrier allows it, which sidesteps the live-animal capacity problem entirely. For hold travel the same Mumbai-routing logic applies. Multi-cat households almost always move by road.
How cat transport worksA domestic pet relocation from Pune costs ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door. Mumbai by road sits far below this at ₹9,000–₹16,000. Delhi, Kolkata and the far south sit at the top.
| Type of move | Typical cost | Door-to-door time |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic pet relocation from Pune | ₹14,000 – ₹42,000 | Same day by air; 1–2 days by rail or road |
| International pet relocation from Pune | ₹85,000 – ₹4,50,000 | 2–7 months of preparation |
| Doorstep pickup within Pune | Included in every quote | 60 min buffer to PNQ |
| 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 Pune.
PNQ's Lohegaon cargo complex has limited live-animal capacity, accepted 3–4 hours ahead and subject to carrier acceptance on the specific sector. We confirm capacity before quoting rather than after, and we say plainly when Mumbai is the better departure point.
Air transport in detailEscorted rail from Pune Junction suits brachycephalic breeds and anxious dogs well on the long corridors. For the Mumbai leg specifically, road is faster, cheaper and less disruptive. Rail earns its place on the long sectors, not the short ones.
Train transport in detailThis is Pune's strongest mode. The Mumbai corridor is four hours door to door, same day, and vans also run to Nashik, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and across Maharashtra. The expressway ghat section is driven deliberately, because that is the stretch that makes dogs car-sick.
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 Pune specifically.
A handler collects from Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Baner or Koregaon Park and either drives to PNQ or straight down the expressway to Mumbai. That second option is the point: because we own the road leg, routing your pet via BOM costs you four hours of our driving rather than a separate booking you have to arrange yourself.
You take your pet to the Lohegaon cargo complex at PNQ. It saves ₹3,500–₹6,000, but it only works if PNQ has live-animal capacity on your sector. Which is the constraint that catches people here. Confirm that before choosing this option, not after.
The corridors Pune families move on most, with real timings, real modes and real starting prices.
Pune has no AQCS station, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Mumbai in Sahar. Four hours away by road. That is an inconvenience rather than an obstacle, provided it is in the timeline from week one rather than discovered in the final fortnight. We plan the Mumbai leg as part of the move, not as an errand you run yourself.
Moving abroad from Pune?Nothing here is optional, and nothing here is quick. This is the chain, and where Pune sits in it.
Pune has no AQCS station, so export inspection and the health certificate happen at AQCS Mumbai in Sahar. Four hours away by road, and a full day when you count both directions. That is manageable when it is in the timeline from week one and it is how Pune international moves fall apart when it is not. We plan the Sahar trip as part of the move rather than leaving it as an errand you run.
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 Pune 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.
Live-animal capacity at Pune is the constraint nobody discloses until the booking is refused. Get it confirmed on your specific sector and date before you build a plan around it, or accept the Mumbai routing from the start.
For any international move, the AQCS inspection is in Sahar. That is a full day. International timelines from Pune fall apart when this is treated as a formality to sort out at the end.
Between June and September the expressway climb loses visibility fast. We move road departures earlier in the day and add an hour rather than driving that section in poor light with an animal aboard.
Pune's mild climate is genuinely kind to snub-nosed breeds. The seasonal window here is shorter than almost anywhere we operate. The complication is not weather but capacity: PNQ's limited live-animal sectors mean fewer carriers to choose from, and the ones that will take a brachycephalic dog are fewer still. This is a case where routing via Mumbai widens the options considerably.
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 Pune.
What bites: Monsoon affects the Mumbai expressway leg more than it affects Pune itself. Ghat-section visibility is the real constraint.
What we do: We move road departures earlier in the day through the monsoon and add an hour to the expressway leg rather than driving the ghats in poor light.
What bites: Mild by Indian standards but still enough to matter for the mid-day slot on a PNQ sector.
What we do: Morning departures. Pune rarely needs the full pre-dawn treatment that Delhi and Ahmedabad do.
The specifics we plan a Pune move around. Generic advice is what gets pets turned away at counters.
Pune Air Cargo Complex, Lohegaon (limited live-animal capacity). Live animals are accepted 3–4 hours before departure, subject to carrier acceptance at PNQ.
12 km from most addresses. We build 60 minutes of buffer into every pickup before the acceptance clock starts.
AQCS Mumbai, Sahar. Pune has no quarantine station. International moves stage through Mumbai, which is 4 hours by road. An inconvenience, not an obstacle, provided it is planned rather than discovered late.
Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Wakad and Magarpatta are IT-township housing. Gated, tower-based, and they want a service-lift booking and gate pass like Bengaluru does. Koregaon Park and Aundh are lower-rise and older, where the constraint is parking rather than lift access. We confirm which applies before quoting the pickup window.
Pune has good small-animal practice, but for an international move the certificate still has to satisfy AQCS Mumbai. We make sure the vet writing it knows that, because a certificate formatted for a domestic flight is not the same document.
Escorted rail departs from Pune 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 tell you to fly from Mumbai when that is the right answer, even though it makes the job longer and harder for us.
The Mumbai–Pune corridor is our highest-frequency road move, so short-notice bookings are realistic and multi-pet households travel together.
The Sahar paperwork trip is planned as part of your move rather than left as something you discover you need to do.
Not a courier drop-off point. A handler comes to your address, at a time that suits your pet's routine.
Domestic moves from Pune run ₹14,000–₹42,000 door to door. The Mumbai corridor is the big exception and sits at ₹9,000–₹16,000 by road. Delhi, Kolkata and the far south sit at the top of the band. International relocation from Pune runs ₹85,000–₹4,50,000 and routes through Mumbai, which adds a road leg but not usually a night.
