Pet Move of the Month

We have a very special pet move of the month for May:  Bella, a Shih Tzu who we moved to Hong Kong recently.  Below is what Bella's owner, Bonnie, had to say after her move about PetRelocation.com's services and her experience with us!  We're so glad we were able to help Bonnie with Bella and we wish them both the best for their time in Hong Kong!

Bella hanging out at our agent's office in Maryland!Bella, a 6-month old Shih Tzu, is my little princess, so I would never have left her behind when I decided to move back to Hong Kong from the U.S.. PetRelocation.com was the first thing that came up when I searched on google for pet moving tips. After seeing so many good reviews on their website, I knew my search was over.

My agent was Cara. Before I made my final decision, I asked her a ton of questions and she was very patient with me. About one month before I left the States, I signed the contract with PetRelocation for helping me move my baby across half of the world. The welcome package you get has all the labels, water bowls, funnels, and forms that you need. Cara even sent me informat ion for getting the qualified crate. Ten days before Bella's departure, she had to visit the vet to get the health certificates signed. WHILE I was at the vet, Cara was on the phone with me to make sure ALL the documents were perfect. I was really impressed by this procedure.

The health certificates endorsement process was smooth and super fast. They even provide you with a Fedex overnight envelope for you to send all the papers to USDA and a shipping label for them to send everything back to PetRelocation. Everything was done after one weekend. That was a big relief for me.
Bella in Hong Kong!
PetRelocation provided a lot of great and efficient services, including boarding service before Bella's flight, so she wouldn't arrive at Hong Kong way earlier than I did. My favorite part was that whenever you call, your agent would always pick up the phone before the third ring and answer whatever questions you have. Such experience did not happen to me very often, so I was very happy with that.

Their agent in Hong Kong gave me a call as soon as he picked up Bella at the airport. Two hours later, she was at her new home, all excited and happy. That was one of my greatest moments in my life.

My advice for you is that, make sure you ask all the questions you need to, because you love your pets and you want them to be safe and comfortable during their move. Also, start the process as early as you can, so you would have more time to talk to your agent about your pet's specific needs. From all the good reviews they get, I don't think you can go wrong with PetRelocation.com. Hope you can bring your pet to whatever place you're moving to and live with your baby happily ever after.

You know how they say "She doesn't look a day over thirty?"  Well, that's how we feel about Sadie, a beautiful Persian we recently moved from San Francisco, California to Shanghai, China.  You'd never know in looking at the pictures that Sadie is actually fifteen years old!

One of our specialists, Cara, helped put together Sadie's move, making things smooth sailing for this elderly cat.  It's important to get pets used to their travel crates ahead of time, paticularly when they're older.  This helps calm their nerves and ensures smooth travels for them.  Her owner, Diana, let us know that crate training was going well with this picture, which was taken before Sadie's big move.  She said Sadie had actually enjoyed staying in the crate and sleeping in it.

After the move, we got a nice note from Diana letting us know how Sadie was doing when she arrived on the other side of the globe:

Cara, Thank you so much for making this experience uneventful for us! I am so happy that she made it here as it was a 48 hour journey for us!!! She is such a trooper and am so happy that she made it at her age.  I hope she will live to see San Francisco again!

We hope Sadie gets to travel back to San Francisco someday, too!  In the meantime, we hope she enjoys living her "golden years" in China!

Congratulations to Dudley, the frosty-footed terrier mix who was featured as our Pet Move of the Month in today's PetRelocation Post Card.  Dudley's owners, Lauren and Michael, hired us in August to safely relocate Dudley from his home in North Carolina to their new residence in Hong Kong. Lauren and MIchael moved a few months before Dudley, so by the time he was delivered, they were overjoyed to see him (watch the video here).

We loved the fact that Michael used his iPhone to film Dudley's arrival, and Lauren even blogged about the happy reunion.  More than anything, though, it was great to see how much we were able to help Dudley and his family, "live" and uncut!

To be considered for our "Pet Move of the Month" simply email us a photo or video of your pet telling us how our services helped you during your move.
