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.

I am so glad I went with Deb. She understood my situation and was able to provide superb service despite snowy weather with little moments notice. As soon as I met Deb, I knew they were in safe hands. I will definitely utilize Deb for all my future Army Permanent Change of Stations and recommend her for all military personnel looking to get their pets from one location to the other.

Bertha was beyond great! My family and I had a recent military cross-country move from California to Virginia. With all the logistical requirements and stress, Bertha stepped right in and put our minds at ease from day one. She was very professional and patient with us during our initial booking. Not only was she on time for pick up but to our surprise she was able to deliver a day early. Throughout the entire trip, she provides multiple daily updates with photos. If you are looking for a true professional who will love and care for your four-legged family member as if they were her own, then look no further. I would recommend Bertha a million times over!!!!
