Animal Transport via Geneva Airport – Lovingly Cared for, Around the Clock
Whether your pet is arriving in Geneva or departing to destinations around the world – at the GVA Animal Lounge, it’s in the best hands.
Since April 2024, Moving Animals has been operating the animal station at Geneva Airport on behalf of Swissport and DNATA, accompanying every four-legged traveller with expertise, experience, and a genuine passion for animal welfare.
In collaboration with the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), we carry out the required veterinary checks for all incoming animals. If a pet cannot be picked up immediately due to flight delays or logistical issues, we of course provide loving interim care. A clean, calm resting place, a freshly prepared dinner, and plenty of water help ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable – even far from home.
We also look after animals being exported from Geneva, ensuring their well-being before departure. After check-in, your pet comes to us. In the peaceful environment of the Animal Lounge – away from the bustle of the airport – it can rest and relax until it’s time to board. If the travel crate has become soiled during the journey, we will clean it thoroughly before departure to ensure your pet travels clean and comfortable.
Our team is made up of trained animal caretakers – and above all, animal lovers. All of us share our lives with dogs and/or cats, so we know exactly what it means to take responsibility for a beloved companion. That’s why we care for every animal as if it were our own – with respect, compassion, and an attentive eye for their needs.
If your pet needs to stay with us overnight and you’d like a personal update on how it’s doing – just send us an email at: 📧 gva@movinganimals.com

Rocky: “Best day ever.” 😸
After travelling from London to Geneva, Rocky couldn’t have been more relaxed during his veterinary inspection. Instead of being nervous, he happily soaked up all the attention and made friends with everyone he met. 💙
Now we’re curious…
👇 Would your cat react like Rocky, or would they have a very different opinion about international travel? Tell us in the comments!

Once a year, we have the privilege of supporting Stiftung PanEco by preparing the export documentation for a truly inspiring conservation project: the reintroduction of Ural owls into Austria. 🦉
This year, six young owls from Greifvogelstation Berg am Irchel, Natur- und Tierpark Goldau and Tierpark Biel safely made their journey to their new home. Thanks to the generous support of a private sponsor who provided the use of their own aircraft, the transport was carried out without additional project costs or the need for commercial transport resources.
We are proud to contribute, in our own way, to the protection and restoration of this remarkable species and wish the young Ural owls a successful start in the wild!

🐾✈️ Cody’s journey home is complete! 🇨🇭➡️🇺🇸
Meet Cody, a handsome Labrador whose adventure began in Arth, Switzerland. After collecting him, we arranged his fit-to-fly veterinary health certificate and carefully prepared him for his international journey.
Cody flew with @lufthansa from Zurich to Seattle via Frankfurt, where he enjoyed a comfortable stopover in the Animal Lounge, allowing him to rest and receive attentive care before continuing his trip.
Once he arrived in Seattle, our trusted local partners handled his import clearance and then drove him safely to his new home in Boise, Idaho.
Wishing you a wonderful new life, Cody! 💙🐶
