Pet travel services encompass offerings that manage the logistics involved in safely and comfortably transporting animals from one location to another. These services cater to pet owners seeking stress-free, convenient, and time-saving transportation solutions for their pets.
These services are primarily categorized into two types domestic and international. Domestic pet travel services facilitate travel within a country's borders, aiding pet owners in relocating their pets to different regions within the country. These services cater to various pet types, including dogs, cats, and other domesticated animals.
Tariffs have influenced the pet travel services market by increasing costs associated with imported pet travel equipment, monitoring devices, and specialized transport crates, affecting both domestic and international travel segments. Regions such as north america and europe, which rely on imported travel accessories and equipment, have seen higher service costs and slower adoption. While tariffs can raise operational expenses, they also encourage domestic production of travel solutions and innovative service offerings, supporting regional self-sufficiency and potential growth in the market.

The pet travel services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.25 billion in 2025 to $2.47 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing pet ownership globally, growing trend of pet humanization, rise in domestic and international travel by pet owners, limited availability of professional pet travel services historically, increasing awareness of pet welfare during travel.
The pet travel services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.68 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of technology in booking and tracking pet travel, growth of premium and specialized pet relocation services, expansion of pet-friendly accommodations and transport options, rising demand for international pet travel assistance, partnerships between airlines, travel agencies, and pet service providers. Major trends in the forecast period include growth in domestic and international pet transportation services, increasing demand for pet relocation and boarding services, rising adoption of online booking platforms for pet travel, expansion of pet travel insurance and health certification services, focus on stress-free and comfortable travel solutions for pets.
The increase in pet adoption is expected to drive the growth of the pet travel services market in the coming years. Pet adoption involves taking in an animal from a shelter, rescue organization, or previous owner and providing it with a permanent home, rather than purchasing one from a breeder or store. The rise in pet adoption is driven by the growing trend of pet companionship, as more individuals seek emotional support and social interaction from pets in their daily lives. The pet travel services market supports this trend, as an expanding base of pet owners looks for safe and convenient options to travel with their pets, reflecting the growing number of pet-inclusive households. For example, in March 2025, the American Pet Products Association, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that 94 million US households owned at least one pet, compared with 82 million households in 2023. Therefore, the increasing rate of pet adoption is contributing to the growth of the pet travel services market.
