Pet Relocation Service
Shimla → Kolkata

Our dog transport service on this route is built around managing the steady warming as the road descends out of the hills and into the delta humidity. Handlers increase water intake progressively from Parwanoo onward, bring cooling mats into play well before the Gangetic belt, and monitor closely for signs of heat discomfort through the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar stretches. Double-coated mountain breeds — huskies, malamutes, Tibetan mastiffs — find this transition the hardest and need the most attention. Flat-faced breeds like pugs, boxers and bulldogs also struggle once the humidity sets in. Short-coated dogs tend to travel more comfortably as the air warms, though Kolkata's sticky heat is a challenge for any breed.

• Water and relief stops placed from Parwanoo onward, not saved for the plains
• Crates matched to breed and size, with cooling mats active from Ambala all the way to Kolkata
• Arrival timing planned to avoid the worst of the delta afternoon heat where possible
• Live GPS tracking and photo updates across all three days of travel

Our cat relocation service on this route is built around calm rather than activity. Cats travel in closed carriers lined with their own familiar bedding, are never placed beside unknown animals, and get litter access at rest stops chosen for their distance from engine noise and passing traffic. With two overnight halts along the route, each stop is arranged so your cat has a quiet, enclosed space to settle before the next day's drive — and as the vehicle warms on its way down the plains, the cabin climate is adjusted so the change feels gradual rather than sudden.

• Closed carriers, never placed near unfamiliar animals
• Climate-controlled cabin with minimal handling throughout the journey
• Two quiet overnight halts, then a steady final day into Kolkata

Handlers Who Read Animals Well

Three days on a route that steadily warms as it drops out of the hills can quietly affect an animal's comfort, so our handlers watch closely for the subtle signs throughout. A dog panting harder than the conditions justify as the Gangetic heat builds, a cat that has stopped grooming, a refusal to drink at the third or fourth stop, or signs of motion discomfort on the steep Parwanoo ghat descent. Trained in animal behaviour and basic first aid, they catch small problems before they become serious ones.

Know Where They Are, Always

You will see every stage as it happens — descending through Sanjauli and Dhalli, winding down past Solan and Kandaghat, dropping through the Parwanoo ghat, passing Chandigarh and Ambala, moving east through Moradabad, Bareilly, Lucknow and Gorakhpur, crossing into Bihar at Chhapra, continuing through Muzaffarpur and Purnia, entering West Bengal at Malda, passing through Bardhaman, and finally crossing the Hooghly into Kolkata. Live GPS position plus photo updates at every rest stop and each overnight halt, so you are never left guessing where your companion is on the road.
