Denver to Abu Dhabi
Angela,
I don’t know exactly what happened, but my flight to Chicago was delayed and we missed the connection to Abu Dhabi….three nights in Chicago before we could hop another flight.
What I do want to say is thank you thank you thank you!! You made things happen and they did. Your contacts in Denver were great, Boomer had a great flight (so he says), and he’s back to his old self.
I’m sure we weren’t your easiest clients, and hopefully not the hardest.
Thanks,
John

Chicago to Dubai
Hi Angela!
Just a quick note to say “Thanks sooooo much” for all of your help getting Teddy to Dubai! I had already contacted an Importer on the Dubai end and thought that flying with Teddy from Indianapolis to Dubai was a no-brainer! So much for that! When I called you I simply wanted to pick your brain after we had been told that our seven pound Pomeranian could not be guaranteed to fly on United. So what did I learn from you? A. You don’t use United as the airline is not necessarily “pet friendly”, B. We couldn’t fly Teddy out of Indianapolis as all flights from there have layovers, C. We would have to take him to Chicago for a direct flight, and D. He was too little to fly direct from Chicago to Dubai!! WOW, we learned a lot! After talking with you it became clear that we, indeed, needed World Pet Travel’s help!
And help you did! Thanks to the handler in Chicago for making sure Teddy got on the correct flight! Thanks to the handler in Amsterdam who hydrated and walked Teddy and kept him overnight at the kennel. And then thanks to the same handler for making sure Teddy got on the flight from Amsterdam to Dubai! Whew — it certainly ended up entailing a lot more than what we ever imagined! Thanks for getting Teddy safely and soundly to his new home in Dubai!!

Florida to London
Dear John,
Five years ago I moved from USA to England along with my then 5 year old pussycat Meshed. The arrangements to ship my cat over to the UK were strenuous, complicated and horribly stressful. The UK has a very strict policy about bringing pets in from outside the European Union. Nonetheless, I managed to bring over my cat to the UK, but it was a process that cost me many tears.
Last year Meshed and I returned to the USA, only to decide to come back to the UK 9 months later. To my surprise, the UK pet agency had changed their policies and I was no longer allowed to arrange the shipment of my cat by myself, but I had to do it through a private shipper, which of course, increased the cost greatly.
After inquiring with different companies, I chose World Pet Travel and it has been one of the best decisions of my life! John Passman, one of their agents, was constantly in touch with me, replying promptly to my emails, making sure all the numerous papers were completed correctly and in time… he even talked to my veterinarian when she had doubts about how to complete the papers!
Meshed was picked up from my sister’s house in Florida and then taken the following day to the airport. Because Meshed was overly indulged by my mom, while I was waiting for her in the UK, she arrived to the airport in Florida and was not allowed to travel in her current cage as it was now too small for her fat bum! Luckily, the well prepared staff hired by World Pet Travel had a larger cage handy and Meshed could travel with no further delay. Meshed arrived the following day in a huge cage, with a very professionally laminated tag attached with her name, address and contact numbers in case of emergency.
I couldn’t have asked for a better service! The price was a lot more than I expected, but then again it is the UK’s regulations. World Pet Travel saved me a lot of tears and stress and I am deeply grateful that they helped reunite me with my little ball of happiness (as I call her).
Best regards,

Philidelphia to Saudi Arabia
Dear Angela,
I want you to know that our two cats arrived quickly and safely in Saudi Arabia. Getting them transported from Philadelphia to Riyadh was a herculean task given paperwork, timing constraints, and distance, but your team handled everything without mishap. All we had to do was stand by and watch in awe.
Thanks so much for your help.

John,
Blue, Alice and Louise are here, safe and sound. Thanks for being SO patient with me. As you can tell, I adore these guys and am so thankful they made it with no problems. I will definitely go onto your website and add a testimonial

Jessica in Abu Dhabi
Hi Angela,
Just wanted to give you a report on our dogs, Jae Sook and Argos.
They arrived safely to our place three hours after my children and I landed into Abu Dhabi. The service here was great to notify us that they had arrived at the airport and were going through customs and would be delivered afterward. They arrived in a van in their cages and were very happy ( a bit stressed) to see us. After probably much needed sleep and distressing both our dogs are well adjusted here, except for the heat, which will take a while.
Thanks you for all your help in moving them and handling all the hiccups along the way to make it a smooth travel for our dogs.
I will definitely recommend your service to others.

Phoenix to Atlanta
Tabatha,
I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for the very professional service.
Shipping my “kids” was the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a LONG time and it went off without a hitch! I am so thankful for the non-stop flight and the fact that Diane called me from the airport to tell me that the kids made it on without a problem. My mother picked them up in Atlanta and now they are happily running around her yard, oblivious to to the stress I went through on yesterday!
Thanks again for everything! We all really appreciate it!
Sincerely,

Hi Angela,
My PC is out of order so that I couldn`t write to you sooner nor send some photos of Chiqui here in Japan.
Chiqui and I had a good trip, reunited in Narita airport after a smooth clearance at both Quarantine and Customs.
Chiqui seems already adapted to the environment here also the new dog food.
First of all, I thank you for your excellent arrangement helping us getting here.
I promise I will send you some photos and the report when my PC is fixed.
My Chiqui thanks you and send our love.

Moving from U.S. to Australia
Hi Angela!
.
We have arrived in Australia and finally have Dusty out of his 30 day quarantine . He is doing very, very well. I am so happy to have him with us again.
It was so hard, the separation and all but its all over now and definitely worth it. Leaving him behind was so not an option!
Thank you so much for your part in all of this. We could not have done it without you!
If we are ever to come back to the U.S. (Kentucky) I will be in contact with you again for sure! Hope you are doing well and that your business is going good.
Thank you again!!

Angela,
I can’t thank you enough for getting my kitties safely back to the U.S. on such short notice. My husband, the kitties, and I are all grateful, happy and healthy in Chicago now!
You and everyone who worked with us were extremely helpful and understanding, and the whole moving process went as smoothly as we’d hoped.
Thank you so much for everything!

Tennessee to Bogota, Columbia
To all it may concern:
This letter is a testimonial to the fantastic work done by Angela Passman and World Pet Travel. As possibly the world’s biggest dog lover, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for my dogs. Once I drove my dog almost two thousand miles across the country back and forth both ways so my mother could take care of him (rather than a kennel) while I was going to be out of the country for two months. (That’s almost 8,000 miles driven for the love of my Jake). Everyone thought I was crazy. I am also possibly the world’s biggest control freak, and so making the decision to move my dogs to Bogotá, Colombia after living here for two years without them was a HUGE one for me.
Through internet research, I found World Pet Travel and based on the testimonials already on the site, I got in touch with Angela. Primarily, I was going to just move one dog at a time, but that plan got tabled because I didn’t want to separate them, even just for a couple of months. I was immediately impressed by her knowledge of what is involved with transporting pets overseas. She assured me multiple times that everything would be okay, and the fact that she had been through the process personally during her own overseas move with her five dogs really helped.
Even though the first planned trip didn’t work out by no fault of World Pet Travel or Angela, she and I stayed in touch and when it came time for the big trip with both dogs, she was there every step of the way. Angela explained in various emails and phone calls exactly what I needed to do with regards to vet visits, paperwork, proper crates, etc. The week leading up to the trip we were on the phone at least once daily and once I accidentally woke her up at night and there was never a complaint – to the contrary, she was happy to help me through the process. I had a lot of other very important non-related things going on that week as well and so “stressed” is not even the right word to describe the place I was in – I don’t know what I would have done without Angela.
I recommend World Pet Travel without reservation to anyone planning an overseas move for their animals. For those of you who are like me who are totally neurotic about their pets, you can trust Angela. There are so many little details to take care of and you will be stressed out anyway, so having someone who you trust by your side the entire way who will hold your hand and take care of the details and tell you exactly what to do, step by step, is priceless.
I would be more than happy to talk with anyone who is a potential client of World Pet Travel to sing their praises. Angela knows how to reach me, just ask her for my email address. My two dogs, Jake and Jeepers, are now with me in Colombia and my life is finally back to normal and complete after two years without them – and it is all thanks to Angela Passman.

Cross Country Move and Back
If you are looking to travel with your pet look no further than World Pet Travel. Angela will handle everything and care for your pet as if it were her own. This is the second year she has helped me get my precious Westies to CA for the holidays. All I have to do is make one phone call to Angela letting her know my travel dates and she handles the rest.
The transportation arrangements couldn’t be better. Door to door service from people who truly love animals makes what could be a stressful situation easy.
I did a lot of research and spoke with several different companies before making the decision to go with World Pet Travel and can assure you, no one comes close to this level of professionalism and concern for your animal’s well being.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Horses From Colorado to Costa Rica
Angela,
I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much for helping bring mine together.
Ian Kirkham
Footnote: Ian’s horses traveled from Colorado to Miami then down to Costa Rica. They stayed in San Jose for their quarantine before traveling to Guanacaste to their new home. Many people were involved in making this move go smoothly and they all deserve credit for their hard work and effort. Thank you everyone for your help along the way. You are all very much appreciated!
9 Pets-Costa Rica to Canada
We were living in Costa Rica and had a problem. Having almost an acre of land around our home, we had managed to adopt 4 dogs and 3 cats — plus we still had 2 of the 3 cats we had brought from Toronto, Canada! The problem was that, after 7 years, we decided to move from the mountains north-east of San José to St. John’s, Newfoundland to be near family and were unwilling to abandon our pets.
We thought it would be relatively straightforward to transport the pets to Canada; after all, we had brought 3 cats from Canada to Costa Rica. Needless to say, transporting 9 animals thousands of miles, across 3 time-zones to another country (speaking a different language) is not a job for the faint of heart.
We will always be grateful to World Pet Travel, who handled the entire logistics of the move. They:
- Visited the house to check the size of the animals (so the appropriate cages could be obtained)
- Arranged for a vet to visit our house to examine the animals
- Took the resulting health certificates to the appropriate government ministry in Costa Rica (all governments want to give their official seal of approval and charge you some money!)
- Delivered the travel cages, which they had obtained, a few days ahead of departure so our pets could get used to them
- Picked up the animals from our house the day before their flight, got them (plus their cages) weighed at the airport
- Housed the pets overnight before their flight
- Prepared their cages, water, bedding, etc., and got them safely on the plane
- Had someone in Toronto to receive them and shepherd them and their documentation through Agriculture Canada (more “government approval”!)
- Boarded them for several days in Toronto (giving us time to get from Costa Rica to our new home), including cleaning their cages and getting them ready for the next leg of their great adventure
- Put them on 3 separate flights to St. John’s (the Canadian airlines that fly into St. John’s have a limit on how many animals are allowed on any one flight)
- Received them in St. John’s and delivered them to our new home
Oh, did we mention that they reported to us about progress every step of our pets’ journey and then checked after the pets arrived to make sure they were alright and to advise us on feeding and watering after such a journey?
World Pet Travel co-ordinated everything and made all the necessary purchases and payments — they provided a trued “door to door” service — no wonder we are grateful and recommend their services!

From Costa Rica to New Jersey
Hello Angela, here I’m, at home in New Jersey with my two Angels sleeping just next to my feet!!!
Me and my family want to thank you, for the great work you did bringing our dogs, Bear and Bianca from Costa Rica to the States.
Is been 10 days, and they are already used at the new life, and new weather.
I have to confess that I was pretty worry about all the airplane trip and the fennels, but to be honest the night they arrived and they came out of the track, we were all surprised to see them fine and happy!!!
Thank you guys very very much, you did a very good job, and we are finally all together, thank you!!!

Florida to Jaco Costa Rica
Hello Angela,
Lee and I would like to thank you and your staff for your excellent care of our four fur babies in the move to Costa Rica. Lee and I were nervous but you and the staff, Lynn and Andrea and her helper were very professional and definitely true animal lovers. Never having anyone handle our pets before was a little stressful. From the first moment of speaking with you and your patience in explaining the process and every person that handled them. Just once were we startled when you said that Bermie was not going to be on the plane from Houston to Costa Rica because they loved him so much in Houston.lol They loved him! We highly recommend to anyone traveling, moving or whatever to use your services. TRUE PROFESSIONALISM is the best description of your organization. Bermingham, KC, Ferrell, and Purr-Purr were wonderful to see and they were so tranquilo. We would be proud to give references to anyone wanting to know about your company, personnel, or services. From the bottom of our hearts MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!!!!
Attached are a few pics of the fur crew. Hope to meet you in person your next trip to CR.

Testimonial From Tenerife, Spain
Good Morning Angela,
Moki and Koda arrived safe and sound this morning at the Tenerife airport. I picked them up (and was glad that I rented a large van for the kennels) and am back home with them. After sniffing out the new house they are catching up on their sleep. It will be interesting to see if dogs have jet lag the way people do!
Thank you so much for all your help and guidance in moving the dogs from Michigan to Tenerife. I know this must have been a very challenging move with the remote location of Tenerife here.
Many, many thanks and best regards!

From Los Angeles to Costa Rica
Dear Angela,
My first three weeks living here in Alajuela, Costa Rica, have been a bit crazy, but now that things have settled down a bit, I wanted to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for all you did for my animals and me.
From the time I contacted you months ago, I could immediately tell that I had found the right person/company to handle the nerve-wracking experience of moving my 5 dogs from Los Angeles to Costa Rica. You were there for me every single step of the way, and made sure that I had everything done thoroughly and correctly. You gave me superior guidance throughout the entire process, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with the arrangements that you made for my dogs. Because of your guidance, I had no trouble with USDA in the States, nor with customs in Costa Rica.
The transportation company you coordinated in Los Angeles to pick up my babies in Los Angeles was wonderful. Miguel was so warm and kind, and made sure he touched base with me until my dogs were ready to board their flight. When the major problem arose concerning Leonard, my big guy, Miguel called me immediately, and assured me I had nothing to worry about, and that Leonard would get to me just fine via Plan B. When I spoke with you the next morning, you also assured me that Leonard was safe, doing fine, and would be arriving a day later, but would get to me as soon as possible. Once everyone arrived in Costa Rica, Andrea became my contact, and also called me every step of the way keeping me apprised of exactly where the dogs were, and when they’d be getting to my house. She was absolutely wonderful, and I could tell all my dogs felt safe and comfortable with her.
It was also so nice of you to call me a couple of days after all my animals arrived just to make sure we were all doing well in our new home. And thank you, also, for all the other extras you did, as a friend to me, regarding Costa Rica contacts, etc.
I can’t thank you enough, Angela, for giving me such peace of mind and comfort throughout the whole moving process. I will highly recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone I know moving their animals from anywhere to anywhere!! Your professionalism, organization, friendship, and passion for animals truly made this whole experience a great one. Thank you so much for all you do, and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for getting all my animals to me safely. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Hope all is well with you and yours!! I’m sure we’ll be in touch again in the future.
Take care,
Lisa Cederberg
