Testimonial Spotlight
Clear and consistent communication between Monica our Pet Coordinator and our client, pet cargo, customs, the airline and those on the receiving end in the U.K. was key. With support every step of the way, there was a quick reunion and how did Echo fare? He was “happy and healthy and didn’t even seem like he knew he had been on a plane!”
Sounds like another awesome job from Worldwide Animal Travel!
