Arrived back in UK last month with our 4 dogs and 2 cats!! We used Boomerang, out of Calgary, who did a fantastic job. The forms are all straightforward, as long as each pets details are recorded correctly by the vet, and then stamped by CFIA. We flew Air Transat to Gatwick and it went like clockwork although we never want to have to go through it again!

All four dogs were absolutely fine with the whole trauma of it! They are 11, 10, 8 and 7.

My dog is 11 and set in her ways - it worries me to fly her but I have no option.............. |
Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012
Not really trauma - just upheaval and the dreaded unknown! They were all absolutely fine though and have now forgotten all about it and have settled into their new lives back in the UK.

Yes, they had to be dropped of at 10 am for a 2pm flight - quite a wait but after a 12 hour drive to the airport I think they were happy to have their own spaces in their boxes! We had to provide individual crates for all 6 pets - not cheap but there was no choice.

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012
Great to hear that all went well with the pet travel!
I am planning to return with three dogs and a cat this year. Keep reading the information on the DEFRA site and concerned about getting the paperwork right. The cat has a pet passport but the dogs are all Canadian citizens!:rofl: They have had microchips and rabies certificates and I have the documentation for this. They just need the tapeworm treatment before travel. I am going to use a pet transport company so hope they will guide me. My vet here is not familiar with transporting animals internationally but said she will provide me with what I need. How did you manage the paperwork aspect? I am an overthinker and will find anything to worry about!:eek: |

I had ordered crates from Sky Kennel but had to cancel the order as they still hadn't arrived a week before we were due to leave! They kept assuring me that I would have them on time and then suddenly emailed to say they were returning my money! I've not heard any good comments about them?
Eventually who did you purchase from I need to go a different route now too. |
