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 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.

I was very nervous on how Winter would take the trip from being separated the first time, Melisa made not only us feel comfortable but the attention she made sure Winter didn't have stress as well. Melisa did an amazing job, great updates, really caring, awesome with the winter would definitely recommend to anyone. Melisa was really attentive to Winter's behavior, made the trip relaxing and stress free for Winter. I trust Melisa with any of our animals and when we need our other pup moved, we will see if she is available first. This was a big stressed for our military move and Melisa made transporting Winter from Texas to Pennsylvania so easy! I recommend Melisa 110%. Best person to trust with our family members!
