Monthly Spotlight
Moving a pet takes more than a checklist when international rules, medical timelines, and tight travel coordination collide. It takes an experienced team.
This pet parent knew the process would be complex, especially with Dubai’s strict requirements like the rabies titer test. What she didn’t expect was just how much the support from our team, especially Monica from our Vancouver office, would help ease the stress of coordinating it all.
“Monica provided clear communication and a well-structured plan… Her support truly made a difference.”
From outlining timelines to booking the CFIA inspection, Monica handled all the details. She stayed responsive, adjusted travel plans when needed, and helped our client feel confident, even when things changed last-minute.
And it wasn’t just a one-off. During a visit to our office, our client saw another family preparing to move three dogs and a cat to New Zealand, proof that our team is equipped to handle even the most complex moves with professionalism and compassion.
Relocating a pet overseas isn’t a transaction. It’s trusting someone to guide your family through a deeply personal journey. We’re proud to be that team, and honoured to receive words like these from the people (and pets!) we help.
