Specialized Certification for BOAS (Snub-Nosed) Breeds

Our team holds BOAS Certification through IPATA’s Brachycephalic Certification Program, gaining specialized training to safely manage pets with shorter facial structures. As a result, this includes breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Persian, and Himalayan cats.

Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) pets face higher risks during air travel due to narrower airways and increased sensitivity to heat and stress. The BOAS Certification ensures our team applies enhanced safety measures at every stage, from planning and crate choice to temperature control and monitoring.

The program also helps us identify which pets are fit to fly through proper veterinary screening and handling. In addition, every certified BOAS shipper trains to spot respiratory issues and collaborates with veterinarians on Fit-to-Fly Assessments to ensure your pet’s health and comfort come first.

Why This Matters

Choosing an IPATA and BOAS Certified shipper gives you peace of mind knowing that experts manage your pet’s relocation. Whether your companion is crossing the country or traveling overseas, WWAT provides the confidence that your pet’s care is in the best possible hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't have shipped my 3 cats without their help.  Every step of the way paperwork was checked for me before the next step and boy was there a lot of paperwork!  Great communication and Monica always had the answers.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ★★★★★ We couldn’t be happier with Worldwide Animal Travel and, in particular, our coordinator, Tema, who helped us navigate the incredibly complicated process of relocating our three beautiful Burmese cats from West Vancouver to Saigon. From start to finish, Tema handled every detail with exceptional professionalism, competence, and care. She has an impressive depth of knowledge about every aspect of international pet travel and was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. Most importantly, she gave us the peace of mind we needed at every stage of what was, for us, a very stressful journey. I was especially impressed by the care she took in reviewing the documentation prepared by our veterinarian and the CFIA. She identified errors and omissions that needed to be corrected before we travelled—exactly the kind of details that could have caused serious problems if they had gone unnoticed. I truly cannot give enough praise to Worldwide Animal Travel for their expert assistance and guidance at every step. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine concern for our pets made an enormous difference. And the best part of all? Our three fur babies arrived safely in Saigon and are happily exploring their new territory as I write this! ❤️🐾 Thank you, Tema, and thank you to the entire Worldwide Animal Travel team. We are eternally grateful! Five stars without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sahar knows her job well and able to solve all of my questions along the way! Now the huskies are happily exploring Australia.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible experience! Tima (Fateme) and the team was able to help me smoothly relocate my two wonderful cats (from Vancouver  to the Philippines) within relatively short notice (1.5 months)! Even if the task had been a tricky one due to timing, Tima and her team worked relentlessly to get everything done for us, and were successful with every single goal + promise. Yes, the services may be pricey, but you most certainly get what you pay for. The stress and burden they were able to alleviate from me was basically priceless, and most importantly, both of my cats were able to make it to me safe. 5/5, will highly recommend! :)

They also took excellent care of him in transit and we were all reunited happy and healthy on the other side. Very grateful for the service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow.  Where to start.  The whole process was easy and on time.  They took our fur babies from Canada to Holland.  It was a breeze on our end, they handled everything! We got updates every step of the way.  I was a bit worried having a pug nosed dog, but didn’t need to worry at all.  They knew the flight rules regarding heat, crates, time between flights and booked everything.  Our babies had an overnight in Toronto and Frankfurt, Germany.  Stella was taken for walks and Phoebe was provided a litter box.  See below for some photos.  Stella enjoyed the experience and Phoebe, well what can I say, she is a cat and was pretty ticked.
