Tips & Tails Tales from World Pet Travel
One year ago my family relocated from North Carolina to Mexico. We had two dogs and I had no idea how to get them to Mexico. Well… I found an amazing company called World Pet Travel. They are lifesavers. Tara made it seem so easy. And in the middle of my move, she was moving her family across the country. And yet she still made time for me and our dogs. She was always there to answer any question I had. She even called my vet who was not helping me in any way. Tara went above and beyond the call of duty. So here I am, a year later bringing a new little puppy from the US to live with us. And I called Tara and she had everything done for me in no time flat. When the time comes to move back I will call Tara again. World Pet Travel made the process so easy. Thank you for everything!!! Everyone at World Pet Travel makes you feel like your pet, no matter how big or small is the ONLY pet in the universe.
