Will The Military Pay for Pet PCS?

When you receive a PCS, you may be worried about the financial burden of moving household items, vehicles and even pet transportation costs. Moving with pets for military families is just one more layer of stress. Will the military help out with pet relocation costs? Yes, they will!

"As of January 1, 2024, military Service members going through a PCS (permanent change of station orders) within the continental United States can be reimbursed up to $550 for one household pet, either cat or dog, and up to $2,000 for moves to or from a location outside the continental United States to cover costs related to the transportation of a pet."

The new policy regarding reimbursement for PCS pet relocation services was approved by the Department of Defense in June 2023.

If you are traveling to or from certain high-risk countries, the Defense Department has authorized reimbursement of up to $4,000 starting November 25, 2024. This policy is in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implementing a regulation that requires a higher screening level for dogs returning to the United States from countries that pose a high risk of rabies.

It's important to note that this increased allowance is only granted when the Patriot Express capacity and regularly scheduled commercial airline service are not available for pets.

Juan Martinez

I will like to show my appreciation in this feedback for the outstanding service that was provide from Mr. Steve from Pet Across America on the shipment of my Old English Bulldog Major from California to Florida. Due to military obligations, I had short timeframe in moving my family to Florida. With all the added stress in moving the family, I was running into road blocks finding a safe and healthy way of transporting Major. Mr. Steve has lifted a huge burden in providing his outstanding service for my family. He communicated well in arranging the pickup for Major, provided daily updates on his trip and well being of Major and delivered him ahead of schedule. I don't know what else to say but Thank You. Major is like a child of mines and he is my wife's baby, so with the help of Steve, my family is all together. Thanks Citizenshipper.com for providing this avenue to place shipment and Thanks Pets Across America for your service. I have no problem recommending and using Steve again. In fact, I have two friends who are going to use this service in the near future and I will hold onto his information for future travels. Thanks Martinez Family.

Megan was absolutely amazing in transporting my German Shepherd from WA state to KS (military move)!!! My dog is very timid, but Megan definitely knows her stuff and knew exactly what to do to keep him calm throughout the entire trip! She kept me updated throughout the drive and you can't beat her competitive pricing! 1000% recommend and will not hesitate to call on her services again if needed!
