a pet move from London, UK to Sydney, Australia -- comments by Judith White, the transferee.

.. Air Animal was charged with the responsibility of moving the family pets of Judith White, a corporate transferee, from London, UK to Sydney, NSW, Australia recently.

... we received the following (summarized) e mail from Judith White, the corporate transferee pet owner .. "yes, everything went fine, thank you. The staff at the AQIS Eastern Creek facility were extremely pleasant; all bills were settled in full and didn't have to wait too long for the dogs to be released from quarantine".

.... Judith added the following comments: "they looked well & happy and have settled into their new home as if they'd always lived there>"

.... additionally: " I really appreciate all that you have done for us; you made what was a difficult time more bearable with the regular updates and also the great kennels you selected for the dogs. I thought that this would be the hardest part of the whole move but in actual fact it was the easiest and very well organized."

.... also: "thank you very much and I would like to wish you and your family happy holidays and wish you a peaceful New Year. .. with warm regards .. Judith"

a mega-pet move - USA to Canada -

5 species, 19 pets & animals .. a successful relocation
The task was daunting, as we planned the move of 5 horses, 2 pygmy goats, 5 chickens, 4 dogs, and 3 cats from Calabasas, California to St. Lazare, Quebec last week. The planning took place over a period of two months; involving the team work of three veterinarians in California, our Los Angeles service partner, and our northeast service partners, especially Mersant International for the cross country horse transport by air.From 12 noon on a Wednesday afternoon to early Saturday morning (3:00 a.m. to be specific)... the 19 pets and animals were moved successfully. We organized the small animals to move first from Wednesday afternoon in California to Newark, NJ by air ... with ground transport from Newark, NJ ... Quebec, with a border crossing at Champlain, NY / Lacolle, Quebec ... with delivery to residence in St Lazare concluding Thursday night.The five horses moved successfully by air from Los Angeles to Newark, with ground transport from Newark to the Champlain/Lacolle border crossing. The ground transport to St Lazare was concluded at 3:15 a.m. on Saturday morning.With great thanks to the professionals at the CFIA inspection station at Lacolle, Quebec, and the terrific cooperation of Canadian customs, the move went exceedingly well. An anecdote: after the chickens were gathered and collected in California, an egg was produced by one of the chickens prior to flight departure. Upon delivery in Quebec, another egg was produced. The relocatees simply stated, "the chickens were not stressed by the cross country and cross border relocation, as eggs were laid in both California and Quebec". And, "thank you for delivering our children to us".
