Strategic Pre-Export Boarding Solution for Australia Relocations



Relocating a pet to Australia requires strict compliance with international biosecurity regulations. One of the most critical requirements is the mandatory six-month residency in an approved rabies-free country prior to entry into Australia.


Selecting the right temporary residence during this period is not simply a matter of boarding — it is a strategic decision that directly impacts your pet’s health, documentation compliance, and overall relocation timeline.


Pat Me Pet Hotel, located in Sarzedas, Castelo Branco, Portugal, provides a structured and secure countryside environment specifically suited for long-term pre-export stays.


• Only one family of pets accommodated at a time

• No traditional kennels or high-volume boarding

• Supervision by a registered veterinary nurse

• Tailored exercise and routine management

• Medical and emotional care support

• Calm, stress-minimized environment ideal for long-term residency


This model ensures your pet remains healthy, stable, and fully prepared for the next phase of the Australian import process.


For clients planning a relocation to Australia, Pat Me Pet Hotel represents a reliable and compliant six-month transition solution.
