VistaPet: Personalized Travel Solutions for Pets

The pet care market in the Asia Pacific region is rapidly expanding, with Euromonitor International estimating its worth at twenty-nine billion U.S. dollars in 2024. The sector is expected to grow at a robust compound annual growth rate of four percent between 2024 and 2029, outpacing growth rates in North America (two point five percent) and Western Europe (two point one percent). This remarkable rise highlights the growing importance of pet care services, especially in the travel industry.

Since its inception in 2019, VistaPet has catered specifically to the challenges and requirements of traveling with pets. Developed in partnership with veterinary experts, animal behavior coaches, nutritionists, and grooming professionals, the program offers tailored amenities such as:

• VistaPet Pochette: An onboard travel kit featuring bio-organic treats, waterless shampoos, calming wipes, and engaging toys to ensure pets remain comfortable and entertained throughout the journey.
• Custom Pet Dining: Members can request specially crafted, balanced meals designed to maintain hydration and wellbeing, including options like fresh meats, fish, raw vegetables, and whole grain brown rice.
• Fear of Flying Support: Collaborating with The Dog House at select locations, this course aims to help anxious pets overcome flight-related stress, turning potentially difficult trips into smooth experiences.

Analysis of VistaJet’s passenger data reveals that dogs continue to be the most common animal travelers throughout 2023 and 2024. Unique passengers recently welcomed onboard include exotic companions such as blue-tongued skinks and Sulcata tortoises, both of which have reportedly enjoyed their flights.

“We were proud to assist a family travelling with their two elderly Great Dane dogs, a cat, and a large Sulcata tortoise in a flight. To ensure the comfort of all animals, particularly the tortoise, the heated floors were activated in the cabin to mimic its natural habitat, providing peace of mind to the owners.”
