Door-to-door pet transport between Mumbai and Pune, with the mode chosen for your pet's breed, age and the season, not for our convenience.
The short answer
Pet relocation from Mumbai to Pune is a same-day, 4-hour door-to-door road move in a dedicated air-conditioned pet van, typically costing ₹9,000–₹16,000. Flying this sector makes no sense for a pet. The terminal time alone exceeds the drive.
Every size of dog travels this corridor the same way: in an air-conditioned van, on the ground, in about four hours. There is no crate hold, no acceptance window and no weight-based freight, which is why a Great Dane costs roughly what a Beagle costs here. The one corridor in our network where that is true.
Cat relocation to Pune is a four-hour drive with one break, and multi-cat households travel together in a single vehicle. That is the real saving: flying three cats means three crates, three freight charges and three acceptance processes, where driving them means one van and one afternoon.
Pet transport from Mumbai to Pune costs ₹9,000–₹18,000 door to door depending on the mode you choose. Here is every option side by side.
| Mode | Duration | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Road | ~4 hrs door to door | ₹9,000 – ₹16,000 |
| Escorted train | ~4 hrs | ₹10,000 – ₹18,000 |
Crate, freight, veterinary certificate, permits, both transfer legs and GST appear as separate lines on your quote. If it is not on the sheet, you do not pay it.
On this corridor we usually recommend dedicated road van. Here's why, mode by mode.

The difference is who does the driving and the paperwork. Here is what each means on Mumbai to Pune specifically.
This corridor is door-to-door by definition. We collect from your Mumbai flat and deliver into your Pune one, same day. You are welcome to travel in the van alongside your pet, which plenty of people do and which for an anxious dog changes the whole experience.
There is no sensible airport version of this journey and we will not arrange one. The acceptance window alone exceeds the entire drive. Anyone quoting you a flight for Mumbai to Pune is selling you a worse journey at a higher price.
Generic advice gets pets stuck at counters. These are the things that actually bite on this corridor.
The expressway climb, not the distance, is the part that unsettles motion-sensitive animals. It is driven slowly and deliberately rather than at expressway pace. Tell us if your dog has a history of car sickness so we can plan the feeding window around it.
Between June and September the ghats lose visibility fast. We move departures earlier in the day and add an hour rather than driving that section in poor light with an animal in the back.
One van takes a multi-pet household on one day. This is the corridor where that saving is largest, and it is worth mentioning at the first conversation rather than booking animals separately.
The best corridor in our network for a snub-nosed pet, and it is not close. No hold, no crate time, no temperature ceiling, no acceptance refusal. Just four hours in an air-conditioned van at ground level. If you have a Pug, Bulldog or Persian cat moving between these two cities, there is genuinely nothing to worry about.
Read the full brachycephalic guideA corridor has two ends, and both of them have weather. These are the windows that actually close.
What bites: Monsoon in the ghat section. Visibility, not flooding, is the real constraint on the expressway climb.
What we do: Earlier departures and an extra hour allowed for the ghats. We will not drive that section in poor light with an animal aboard to save an hour.

Mumbai traffic makes distance meaningless. A 22 km run from Worli to Sahar can take 40 minutes or two hours, so we time pickups against the day, not the map.
Arriving inPune (PNQ) / Mumbai (BOM) · Pune Junction
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.
Three things that are true on this corridor specifically, not three things every pet transport company in India claims.
Our highest-frequency corridor by volume, often bookable within 48 hours, with no crate booking or airline paperwork to wait on.
We will tell you not to fly this route even though the flight would bill more. The terminal time alone exceeds the drive.
You can travel in the vehicle with your pet, which on a four-hour drive removes the separation entirely.
₹9,000–₹16,000 door to door by dedicated air-conditioned van, same day. It is the cheapest corridor we run, because it is a straightforward four-hour drive with one handler rather than a freight movement with terminals, crates and acceptance windows on both ends.
