Moving a pet through the Bahamas means planning around Nassau (NAS), airline schedules, and island entry rules and tropical heat, and getting the timing right is what keeps the whole trip calm. That is the part we take off your hands.
At Pet Travel Advisors, one coordinator looks after your pet’s entire journey, whether they are heading across town, across the country, or overseas. We map the route, handle the paperwork, and choose travel windows that keep your pet safe and comfortable from pickup to arrival.
Families across the Bahamas and the surrounding area trust us to carry that stress for them. Tell us where your pet is going and when, and we will build a plan around your timeline, the destination’s rules, and what your pet needs. Request a quote and we will take it from there.
Dogs are the moves we plan most often. We match the crate to your dog’s size, book around airline rules and the tropical heat limits, and plan the routing through Nassau (NAS) so nothing turns into a last-minute scramble on travel day.
Cats travel best when the day stays calm and the waiting is short. We choose airline-approved carriers, sort out the cabin-or-cargo question early, and plan the schedule so your cat spends as little time at the airport as possible.
Birds need a little more care: species-specific paperwork, airline approval, and travel that holds a steady temperature. We walk you through the health certificates and routing so nothing slips through the cracks.
Rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets travel in approved carriers on carefully timed routes. We confirm that the airline will accept your pet well before the date, so there are no surprises.
Reptiles and exotic pets each come with their own rules. We review the airline policies and temperature requirements one by one and build a route that genuinely suits your animal, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

The Bahamas stays warm year-round, and airlines set temperature limits for animals in cargo, so the warmest months and hurricane season get the most attention. We plan moves around the heat and the forecast, choosing departures from Lynden Pindling International (NAS) that keep your pet comfortable.
Most Bahamas moves go through Lynden Pindling International (NAS) in Nassau, and pets usually connect through a South Florida hub like Miami or Fort Lauderdale on the way to or from the islands. We line up the island leg and the connection so the routing stays short.
The Bahamas is an international move, so it needs an import permit from the Bahamas Department of Agriculture plus health paperwork arranged ahead of time. We handle the permit, the timing, and the routing through Nassau so the requirements are met before travel.
We coordinate travel for dogs, cats, and other pets between the Bahamas and the mainland when airline and permit rules allow. Each species has its own requirements, and we confirm them early so nothing holds up the move.
We coordinate pet moves across the Bahamas, including Nassau, Freeport, and Paradise Island, as part of our South & Islands service area. Tell us which island and we will plan the routing from there.
Every move to or from the Bahamas is priced on its own, because the import permit, airline fees, your pet’s size and crate, and the connection through Florida all affect the total. Tell us the details and we’ll put together an estimate: request a quote.
