Relocating internationally is already a complex process. When you add a pet into the mix, it becomes even more important to get every detail right. There are strict timelines, airline requirements, country-specific regulations, and a lot of moving pieces that all need to align. And at the center of it all is your pet’s safety and comfort.

That’s exactly why Starwood Pet Travel’s current promotion is built differently.

Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all discount, this month’s offer gives you the flexibility to choose what actually matters most for your move—whether that’s saving money, reducing risk, or simplifying logistics.

This Month’s Offers: What You Can Choose From

When you finalize your booking, you can select one of the following perks:

  • $200 Off Your Booking
    Apply instant savings directly to your pet’s relocation cost.
  • Complimentary Pet Protection Plan ($500 value; valid for 1 pet)
    Added peace of mind for certain unexpected travel disruptions.
  • Free Travel Kennel (up to $300 value)
    A high-quality, airline-approved kennel that’s yours to keep after the journey.

Each option is designed to support a different priority—so the best choice depends on your situation.

When Saving Money Is the Priority

For many pet parents, cost is a major consideration—especially with international travel.

Between airline cargo, documentation, veterinary requirements, and coordination, expenses can add up quickly. The $200 off option is the most straightforward way to reduce that total.

It doesn’t change the structure of your move or add additional services. Instead, it simply lowers your overall cost, making it easier to move forward without stretching your budget further.

This tends to be the right fit for more straightforward relocations or for those who already feel comfortable with the process.

When You Want to Plan for the Unexpected

Even with perfect planning, pet travel can involve things outside of your control.

Flights can be delayed. Routes can change. Timing windows can shift. While these situations aren’t guaranteed, they’re common enough that many pet owners want a backup plan in place.

The Pet Protection Plan is designed for exactly that.

It helps cover certain unexpected disruptions that may occur during your pet’s journey, providing an added layer of support when plans need to adjust. While it’s not insurance, it does help reduce the stress (and potential cost) of handling those changes on your own.

For international or multi-leg moves, this option often provides the most peace of mind.

When You Don’t Want to Risk Getting the Kennel Wrong

One of the most overlooked—but critical—parts of pet travel is the kennel.

Airlines have strict requirements around size, structure, and ventilation. If a kennel doesn’t meet those standards, your pet can be denied boarding, delaying your entire move.

For many pet owners, figuring this out on their own can feel overwhelming.

That’s where the free travel kennel becomes incredibly valuable. Instead of second-guessing measurements or worrying about compliance, you receive an airline-approved kennel that’s properly suited for your pet and ready for travel.

It removes guesswork, reduces risk, and gives your pet a safe, comfortable space for the journey—and beyond.

Which Option Should You Choose?

The right choice comes down to what matters most to you:

  • Choose $200 off if your goal is to reduce overall cost
  • Choose the Pet Protection Plan if you want added reassurance during travel
  • Choose the free kennel if you want to simplify logistics and avoid compliance issues

There’s no wrong answer—just the option that best supports your move.

How It Works

Getting started is simple:

  • Submit your pet’s travel details
  • Receive your personalized quote
  • Select your preferred offer
  • Finalize your booking within the promotional window

Your Starwood representative will handle the rest.

A Better Way to Plan Your Pet’s Move

Every pet relocation is different. Some are simple and direct, while others involve multiple steps, tight timelines, and complex requirements.

That’s why having the flexibility to choose how you want to approach your move matters.

Whether you’re focused on saving money, preparing for the unexpected, or removing logistical stress, this promotion is designed to give you an advantage where it counts.

Start Your Pet’s Journey

When you’re ready, request your personalized quote and select the option that fits your move best.

Because the goal isn’t just getting your pet there—it’s making sure they get there safely, comfortably, and with as little stress as possible.
