Anvis Pet Relocation is founded and run by Anand Vishwanath, a certified canine behaviourist whose background shapes how the company actually operates — decisions get made around what is genuinely best for the animal, not just what is fastest or cheapest. Over a decade of documented relocations across dozens of named customer accounts, with media coverage including a BBC interview and multiple Indian Express features going back to 2016.
A consistently named team shows up across nearly every customer story — Sundar as operations lead (certified in Live Animal Regulations and BOAS shipping for flat-faced breeds), alongside Meena, Subhojit, Sharon, Ramya, and Sachin handling different parts of the process. That consistency matters for a service where you are trusting strangers with a family member for weeks at a time. Brachycephalic breeds — pugs, bulldogs, French bulldogs — are specifically handled here, which is worth knowing because many relocation companies simply decline them due to airline restrictions and the extra coordination required. Anvis does not.
What the service actually covers
- Importing pets into India — NOC assistance, documentation, eligibility guidance
- Exporting pets from India — destination-country regulations, quarantine procedures, airline logistics
- Premium service — a specialist acts as a personal guardian for the pet during travel
- Corporate relocation support for employer-sponsored pet moves
- Pet boarding across six centres in North Bangalore, close to AQCS Bengaluru and Kempegowda Airport
Worth knowing
Anvis runs an affiliated NGO, Oscar Friends, dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating pets — funded in part by the relocation business itself. Not a factor in choosing a relocation service on its own, but worth knowing if you would rather your money supported a company with a genuine rescue commitment alongside its commercial work.
