Pet relocation company recommendation

Post by sfgirl » Sun, 27 Nov 2011 1:03 am

My spouse and I are seeking advice on relocating our two cats from SF to Singapore. Can anyone recommend a pet relocation company? Also, is there anything else that we should be aware of?

If he worked for DHL why didn't he just smuggle them in himself?!

Thanks, we'll look into that. I found a handful of companies that offer this service, just not sure if they're reliable.

Speak your mind, I respect the freedom of speech.

Don't use Petmovers. Since I've only done this once I only have experience with them and don't have a recommendation to offer. Are you looking for someone to physically move the pets from SGO to SIN, or are you looking for help with the paperwork? Petmovers do paperwork on this end, as well as transport within sg, but do not offer any other service or insight.

I relocated my dog from the UK to here recently and can fully recommend Peter Pet Services for this end.

Duh (oh .. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... ds-newsxml )

The cargo compartment in flights are unpressurised and it is COLD .. (ah, that reminds me of the many attempts of those stowaways .. )

With tightened security, apparently cargo flights are not allowed to have anything other than the crew .. and even a dog may have serious security implications .. hence the crew's aversion to flying in live-cargo ..

Second that, when I was checking through the paperwork I saw my dog went through the x-ray machine twice :shock:

Probably they were they looking for the missing WMDs ??

Oh, on a serious note, I read that Colombians had been surgically placing coke into dogs and flying them cross country ..
