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.

JANET ACKERMAN

Very thankful we chose DeAudrey to transport our dog from Dallas to El Paso. She went above and beyond to ensure our boy was comfortable and took many bathroom and walk breaks. She kept us updated throughout the whole trip, through texting/calling as well as the tracker app. We were very stressed about our move for our dog but DeAudrey took all our stress away! Would recommend her to anyone! We so appreciate this service and DeAudrey's helpfulness with this military family's move. 5 STARS!!!

Kendall Willridge

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!
