moving to okotoks this summer and our fourth family member is a chocolate labrador, need advice on companys used and there fee's

If you search you'll find heaps (including recent) threads on this... Main options are to use a specialist pet travel company (expensive) or to take pets as accompanied baggage with you when you fly out (if you fly with Air Canada or BA), and then just pay excess baggage for the pets.

For starters, try:

And for AC info see: http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelin...gage/pets.html
(or if unaccompanied see: http://www.aircanada.com/cargo/en/services/faq.html).

If you want info on the specific documentation requirements, rather than logistics of shipping, see: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/...rt/dogse.shtml

Hopefully these should address most of your initial queries.
