Pet Travel Planning by Experienced Expats
Feel like you’re trying to piece an impossible puzzle together?
Are you experiencing what I did when I made my first international move? Spending hours trying to find the right answer on the safest way to transport my 4-legged babies when we decided to move abroad? It is not like there were a thousand other things that had to be considered in addition to Taubi and Julie’s safety with their international move.
FRUSTRATED WITH THE DIFFERENT ANSWERS YOUR GETTING IN SEARCH OF HELP ABOUT PET TRANSPORTATION SERVICES?
Reaching out to the airlines wasn’t much help as we received a different answer with each person we spoke with. Checking with the Consulate and Embassy websites was not anymore helpful because they also disagreed on the requirements.
Who is the crazy one?
Many of my friends offered their advice on how to transport animals, but mostly ridiculed my spending this much money to send a pet anywhere. Some even went so far as to say…… “You can get a new one when you get there.” I could only imagine how they might feel if someone offered the same advice about one of their children.
TOO MANY THINGS ON MY PLATE!
I was a nervous wreck! Between packing, putting the house and cars up for sale and getting the kids ready for the move I was at my wits end. Did I mention I had 3 little humans to worry about as well when we made our first move abroad?
You may criticize, but my greatest concerns were for the 4-legged creatures that I KNEW were depending on me. I knew the children would make it unscathed, everyone looks out for human children, but what about the furry ones?
- Who aside from me was going to look out for them?
- What if I did something wrong?
- Would they be put in quarantine?
- Chance of being sent back or lost because of pet travel regulations?
- What if they die?
I truly felt the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I NEED SOME RELIEF- “CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!”
If you have read all the blogs, websites and forums searching for the right answers, you are most likely headed down a rabbit hole of confusion.
BUT WAIT…..By landing on our site, you have taken the necessary steps to find the RIGHT answers about animal shipping. Someone just like you that knows what pitfalls to avoid to ensure the safety of her own pets is going to share that information with you! The answers to the questions we had about our own Taubi and Julie and so much more.
- Can I take Julie in cabin?
- Are Julie and Taubi allowed to fly together?
- Is it possible for Julie and Taubi to fly on the same plane with us?
- What is the layover situation if we can’t take a direct flight?

ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR PETS?
I’ve been labeled as passionate for my cause by different airlines, government agencies and multiple pet owners over the last two decades. Our efforts to help other pet owners, make their way through the catacombs of travel hurdles, without pulling out the last of their hair, is my mission. For that reason, we provide:
- Proven safe pet travel options
- Communicate what not to do when moving a pet
- Clarify what should be done far in advance so there are no last-minute surprises
HOW DOES THIS HELP YOU?
The same way we have helped thousands of others in your same position we are going to support you. Multiple family pets have flown every two years with outstanding results. Each time mom and/or dad get a new assignment, we get a call to help organize the details about domestic or international pet travel.
- Oggy traveled with WPT eight times over several years (four assignments) then retired in Oklahoma two years ago.
- Stella just made her fifth trip to Prague with Josh and his family. Josh has been to the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and now the Czech Republic, but never without Stella.
Are pet shipping costs higher than expected?
When you decided to make this move, you knew it was going to cost quite a bit, right? It is likely adding up to more than you expected like the majority of our pet owners. Our intent is to help reduce the cost by helping you do this right the first time!
Years ago, I took a stab at handling my own car repairs. I thought if they can do it, I can do it cheaper if I just read the instructions. Being young, dumb and cash poor, I did the same thing when there was a plumbing issue thinking I didn’t need to pay a plumber. As you can imagine this did not turn out well for anyone but the mechanic and plumber. I was trying to beat the system with my DIY efforts, and it bit me every time.
Let me show you the steps to avoid quarantine, furry ones being returned because something was wrong with documentation, being lost or misrouted. I’m offering you a 100% guarantee that we can make this go 100% right, just like we have for thousands of families just like yours over the years!

WARNING… PET TRANSPORTATION CAN BE COSTLY, HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT IT IS FAR LESS OF A BUDGET BREAKER WHEN DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
- Domestic pet shipping for a small dog/cat start at $1500 depending on the services you request.
- International pet travel for a small dog/cat starts around $2500 and go up from there. This is dependent on where you are and where you are going and the services requested.
- We can move your loved ones door-to-door or airport-to-airport, whichever best fits your pet transportation budget.
Wouldn’t it be great to know what the problems might be in advance and how to avoid them? To gather valuable information from a pet owner, just like you, that would go to extremes to ensure safety for their own 4-legged family members. You know you will continue down that rabbit hole until you do something different, right? So let’s stop the insanity. Click HERE to get started on the right path for your furry family members.
