Below are our core services, each designed to address a specific pressure point in long distance pet relocation.
Long haul pet travel requires the correct flight routes, crate positioning, carrier selection and transfer timing. Pets must travel in sections of the aircraft that comply with temperature, ventilation and safety controls. Airlines such as British Airways, KLM and United have strict criteria that must be matched perfectly before an animal can be accepted.
