What Move-your-animal is

Move-your-animal.com is an online marketplace for animal transport in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On one side: animal owners who need a transport — horses, dogs, cats, small animals. On the other: transport companies listing their tours and free slots.

The idea: instead of calling haulers one by one, you post your request once and providers come to you with quotes.

How a booking works

  1. Post a request: animal, route and preferred dates.
  2. Compare quotes: transport companies reply with price and date. On shared tours your animal travels with others on the same route — noticeably cheaper.
  3. Book and pay online: payment runs through the platform (processed by Stripe) — no cash at the ramp, everything documented.
  4. Track the journey: during transport the driver can share their live location; you see on the map where your animal is and stay in touch by message.
  5. Review: after the trip you rate the provider — reviews come exclusively from real bookings.

What this means for horse sellers

In international horse sales the buyer usually organises transport — but as a seller you will almost always be asked for a recommendation. Instead of a phone number you can share a link where the buyer collects quotes and follows the process themselves.

Having price and service in writing also settles the classic "who pays for what" discussion. How to handle the handover legally is covered in our guide Selling a horse abroad.

Frequently asked questions

What does transport via Move-your-animal cost?

Prices are set by the transport companies in their quotes — depending on route, animal and single vs. shared transport. Comparing several quotes shows you the range for your route directly.

Which animals can be transported?

The focus is on horses and pets (dogs, cats, small animals) in the DACH region. You state the animal and any special needs in your request so only suitable providers reply.
