We moved ourselves to Dubai. I have two dogs, ones a Cockapoo and one is a Bedlington Terrier X Poodle. Probably like most dog parents I was trying to look at multiple different companies for their relocation services to make the process go smoother. I looked at WWAT’s reviews and their Google reviews were actually very good, that is why I went with them. And since I was in Vancouver, it made sense to go with them since their office location is in Richmond. I ended up getting paired with Monica Chou as my Pet Travel Coordinator, and I just want to say that she did an absolutely amazing job with everything and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Her communication was timely and thorough. She paid attention to all the tiny details to make sure all the forms and documents were in order. She gave me step by step what I needed to complete. She also got in touch with the multiple vets I was using to make sure everything had the correct information. Moving is stressful and expensive but having Monica’s help just made everything go very smoothly. I was really worried about how the dogs were going to do because Teddy has really bad separation anxiety, but him and Geo both made it! They did a flight from Vancouver to Amsterdam, did a night at the pet hotel there, then flew again from Amsterdam to Dubai. Going with a relocation company just takes care of the hard work so that you can have less headaches yourself. I can’t imagine doing something like this without the help from WWAT. I hope my review helps other pet parents consider travelling with WWAT. Monica Chou, you’re the best! She even took time to make a collage of my dogs which is super cute. Thanks so much!! P.s. some other helpful info: if you don’t want to mess up buying the wrong crate for your dogs I suggest bringing your dog to their office to get a crate fitting. I had two crates for my dogs but they were not acceptable because they were too small even though i felt like they fit, so I ended up just going with the crates WWAT recommended. They had them at the office so it made it easy to have my brother drop them off at the office without having to worry about how to bring the crates from home.. they are too big to fit in a regular car.

I can't thank Monica from Worldwide Animal Travel enough for helping us arranging our dog's relocation from Toronto to HK. We came to her 2 business days before the intended travel and she arranged everything for us, which I could only call it a miracle! Her whole Team from Vancouver to Toronto are all very professional. We are very grateful to have chosen Worldwide Animal Travel for our pet's relocation.

We had a great experience using Worldwide Animal Travel and their partner Sky Pets when moving our two Labradors from Calgary to London Heathrow. The communication throughout was excellent from initial contact on all the requirements, through step by step support, to the day of depture and arrival. I have to give a special shout out to Monica our Coordinator and Jennifer who supported our check-in with Air Canada in Calgary. We felt very well supported and informed and that our pets well-being was a priority.
