    • Arranging plane tickets
      Depending on the airline, as well as your pet’s size and breed, travel from Australia to Japan may be possible as checked baggage. PawBridge can confirm whether the airline can accommodate your pet, as there are limits on the number of pets per flight, but booking the flight is the owner’s responsibility.

    • Vet fees
      All veterinary-related fees are not included. PawBridge provides guidance through our original support form, but owners are responsible for scheduling and attending appointments.

    • Preparation of necessary items
      Items such as crates and water bottles are not included.

    • On-site support
      PawBridge does not provide in-person support at the airport, veterinarians, or quarantine facilities (staff-accompanied transport from Australia to Japan is available as an optional add-on service).

    • Domestic transport within Japan
      We can advise on domestic transport routes, but actual transportation within Japan is not included.
