We deal with this service as often as we can and there are many others like it around the world. Here in Thailand the go to business for quality and hassle-free pet relocation to basically anywhere in the world is relo4paws.
Regulations depending on country of destination can vary dramatically from country-to-country and it can be a bit perplexing to anyone that is not familiar with the process. It can be a bit time-consuming since certain certain vaccinations, rabies prevention, and even parasite prevention certificate requirements are not handled by countries in a uniform manner. The last kind of situation you want to end up in is to have your pet loaded up and ready to go with flights paid for only to discover that there is a piece of paper that is required that you do not have and also can not acquire the day of your flight.

Since most of us would never even consider leaving our pets behind, it is extremely important to have this all taken care of before the day of your departure. Relo4paws has been instrumental in the relocation of dozens of pets of Krabi Animal Welfare and their service is just incredible.
Things might seem a bit nitpicky to the uninitiated as far as regulations are concerned but something as trivial sounded as the type of travel crate and methods of securing the door can eliminate your animal from being allowed into the cargo hold of many airlines. Also, some countries are more particular than others about letting animals in and this can end up including the need for the dreaded tither test which can cost up to $1000 because there are only 2 labs in the world that are certified to carry it out. Also, since you will be mailing what is considered a biohazard (animal blood) you can't simply drop it in the post and hope for the best.
Things like this, done incorrectly, can result in you losing a tremendous amount of time and money the likes of which are going to make the fee that organizations like Relo4paws' service fee seem miniscule in comparison.
In two recent cases that varied wildly, we had one dog being flow to Vietnam (relatively simple customs regulations) and another on the way to the U.K. (quite possible the most restrictive animal customs situation in existence on Earth.) Both of these cases were handled flawlessly and Relo4paws actually knew some "loopholes" to help the owners of "Zion" get around some huge expenses by having him land in The Netherlands instead of flying directly to the UK. I suspect that most people wouldn't know about this loophole or the fact that it is totally legal. It did end up saving the family in question more than a thousand dollars by using the service.
This sort of international travel is a very stressful time for the animals of course, but for those of us that consider our furry friends to be like children to us, it is also very stressful for us as well. When you use a service like Relo4paws, you can leave a lot of your anxiety at the door. Every time that we have used them they have a bilingual representative that doesn't leave your side at the airport until everything is taken care of with the animal. The only thing you need to do is remember to pick your fur-baby up at the other side.
It might seem like a lot to some people but this service including money-back guarantees cost just a bit over $200 and we think it is worth all of that and more. I know there are a lot of people out there that think they can sort these things out on their own because they have Google but I speak from years of experience and dozens of animals successfully shipped overseas when I say that it is totally worth the peace of mind.
I just want to make it clear that we are not compensated by Relo4paws in any way to write this, we just genuinely feel as though they are an extremely top-drawer company, and deserve the recognition
