Transport of live animals

As of 15 August 2016, Swiss Post no longer offers transport of animals. Swiss animal protection organisations and Swiss Post do not recommend shipping live animals. However, if live animals are to be shipped, following some important guidelines and adhering to regulations can contribute to careful, animal-friendly transport.
