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.

Stefan Shirley

I've conducted multiple military moves in my recent career. This time I decided to contract the moving company on my own to ship my truck across the country. Jeff made this process seamless. The price was reasonable and the driver had my truck to me in less than three days! Fastest vehicle shipment I've ever experienced. Thank you Jeff and State by State Carriers!

Reginald

Being in the military. I had no idea were to look for sending my pup to my parents house when I had something pop up and I had to leave for an extended time. My Chief (E-9) give me this site when I explained my situation to him. I give it a go and Paws Door 2 Door Express is hands down the best company to go with! They 100% understand my situation and showed up on time and got my pup across the country in a timely and fast manner! They understood what was happening and my dog arrived safely and fast to my parents house within 3 days. I have took the drive myself a couple of times before and I knew it is not a easy and fast drive. I will always 100% recommend this company to all my military vets and friends if they have to send their animals anywhere. Driver was highly professional. 10/10 would do it again.
