Execupet International manages pet relocation for employers, relocation management companies and their assignees.
We are the corporate brand of a group of pet travel companies: Pet Shipping in Germany, founded in 1968; Dogtainers in Australia and New Zealand, founded in 1971; and Pets Abroad UK in London, founded in 2016. Together they form the only truly global pet travel group, moving about 80,000 pets a year. Execupet gives corporate clients one point of contact for that network, and for our trusted partner network in other countries.
Simon set up Execupet International in 2024 because employers and relocation companies were arranging pet moves one at a time, with a different supplier in each country. Execupet brings the group’s companies together under one corporate brand, so mobility teams have one partner, one contact and one standard of service for every assignee who moves with a pet.
