    Good to know

    Cats and birds are most welcome. Dogs are welcome depending on breed and size — tell the XTSY desk about your dog before you book. Other pets need a chat with the desk first.

    There may be an additional charge depending on your pet and length of stay. Please contact the XTSY desk on WhatsApp (+91 88373 17070) for the exact amount before you book.

    Up-to-date vaccination records (rabies is a must). For travel within India a vet fitness certificate helps; for international travel the team can guide you on pet passports, permits and health certificates.

    Yes. The XTSY desk helps with domestic and international pet travel: health certificates, carriers, airline bookings and quarantine guidance, working with vets and authorities.

    The team keeps a list of trusted veterinarians in Shillong and can help arrange emergency vet care if needed.

    Pets should be well-behaved, non-aggressive and house- or crate-trained. Owners are responsible for their pet’s behaviour and any damage, and the team may ask for an aggressive or disruptive pet to be removed.

    Bring the whole family.

    Message us your pet’s details and travel dates. Our team is on WhatsApp 24/7.
