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.

Molli Ansberry

So overall, super positive review for Tonya and her helper, Mike. She was so incredibly accommodating on a super short-notice cross-country move. She actually ended up moving our belongings out of our previous apartment all on her own--she didn't have a helper for that part of it. It was my first military move, and I didn't know all of the details the military needed for their paperwork; Tonya was actually able to provide some insight on what to expect and what might help the process easier. She's incredibly thorough with everything she does, from paperwork to discussing details. She kept me updated as she moved, drove, and even sent pictures. She's personable and chatty, and even took the time out of her *very* busy schedule to drive an hour one-way to meet us in person before moving our belongings. Incredible woman, and she really does know her stuff. Her experience shows through in her process and the precautions she takes, both concerning the mechanics of moving and also with concerns to COVID safety measures. The *only* thing I'd advise others of is to give Tonya the patience and flexibility she shows you. She deserves at least that much. She went to incredible lengths to make sure we got our things into our home as soon as possible--and I mean *incredible* lengths. After an entire day of moving, she still made the trip down on a late Saturday night to ensure we had a bed to sleep on after sleeping on the floor for two weeks with our infant son. She stays busy through her day with her business and taking care of her own daughter, and thus timing isn't always spot on because each move is different. She took great care of our things and she'll make sure to take care of you too.

The experience with Sherry was beyond expectation! She was so caring to our puppies (we ended up getting 2 transported) Her communication with the seller once she picked them up and with us the whole journey, was great. We even got the puppies earlier than expected. We truly could tell she loves animals and what she does. Without hesitation, book with Sherry. We are military and will be keeping her information for our next move! Thank you so much Sherry!
