Animal movement
Take any animal across any border — the right way
Tell us what you're moving and where. You get the full official process — every document, test and waiting period — written out from the government pages, so you don't have to dig through them yourself.
Find your movement rules
What are you moving, and from where to where — then read the full guide.
This page tells you where the official rule is and what it says. It is not the rule and it is not legal advice. The official source decides, and the official source is the one that counts if this page and it ever disagree.

How each guide is built
Read the official page
We read the actual government source — AQCS, gov.uk, CDC, APHIS, CFIA, Australia's DAFF — end to end.
Write the real process
Every step in plain language: what to do, in what order, with the real deadlines and day-counts.
Fact-check each step
An independent pass re-checks every number and rule against the live source text before it goes up.
Link back to the source
Each step keeps a short link to the official page — so you can verify, but the guide itself is right here.
Every guide is free and always will be. It tells you what the official rule says and where it lives — it is not the rule itself, and not legal advice. Government requirements change; confirm on the official source before you travel or ship. The official source is the one that counts.
