Can anyone suggest a good reliable company who takes care of all the arrangements to fly dogs internationally?
We are thinking about moving home in a couple of years but need to look into things such as taking our dog with us. Any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Suggest you PM Dunroving, he is taking his dog back to the UK in a few months. Good luck.

Make that a few weeks!

Jerseygirl

Of course...where's the summer going to...its almost the end of June already.

shepslady

LOL Jerseygirl it might nearly be the end of June but today June 21 is the first official day of summer here in the US so I dont think Summers going anywhere yet

Jerseygirl

Hehe....April/May weather here is usually better than an English summer....so I'm lulled into a false sense of summer.

shepslady

I understand perfectly but couldnt resist having a little dig at you. Hope you dont mind

Jerseygirl

Of course not. That's what these little smilies are for...to keep it light hearted.

Hi Shepslady..

Actually one of my good friends owns 'Pet taxi' http://www.pettaxi.com/main.html

It's in NY and I see you are in Indiana (so am I incidentally) but I have known the owner Larry for about 14 years (Holy crap!!) and he is not only a great guy but will take serious care of your dog!

He will take care of all the details....

Make that a few days - about 20, in fact. Yikes!

Jerseygirl

Wow that's come around quick. Don't forget your old friends here in the US forum when you are back in the UK. Good luck.

We used WORLDPET CARE they are based in Connectticut(pardon my spelling) asked for Don Uyeno. They help us transport our pet dog from Houston to Australia. We done all the medical & paper work needed. We are very happy with their service. After our pet been in quarantine for a month in Sydney,they delivered our pet to Brisbane.
They are not cheap though,but service is excellent.

I still don't know where you are moving to, did it end up being Wales?

dunroving

Yes, I was offered the job at the U. of Glamorgan. I'll be spending a week in a holiday cottage in Tredegar, during which I will look for a 6-month rental somewhere within a 10-15 mile radius of Pontypridd. I'm meeting with a rep from Diamonds' (I think you recommended them?) to look at a few places on my first day there.

When I look around me at the disarray in my house (which I have already sold) and then read my "To Do" list I think surely it can't be less than 3 weeks.

Sold most of my stuff already (actually, at the prices I was asking, I almost gave it away). Almost at the point where I'll be sitting on boxes and eating pizza.

hi dunroving

me and my partner have just left this area of wales and are now in south australia. we also both studied at the uni of glamorgan, and we know the area pretty well (partner is welsh, i lived there for 7 years). we lived in nelson which is around 10 minutes drive up the dual carriageway (a470) from the uni campus. it was pretty nice, good selection of different housing there (new builds, traditional terraces, 1960's housing etc) and pretty affordable too - prices in pontypridd and treforest have rocketed in the last few years (still cheap in comparison to a lot of areas in uk tho) and caerphilly will always be more expensive due to it being closer to cardiff. if you arent familiar with the area (where are you from originally?) feel free to get in contact thru this site. the area you are looking at is verrrry diverse and there are areas with... 'social issues' that you may wish to be aware of. also traffic can be a bit of a nightmare at peak hours so what seems to be close on a map may actually take longer to commute than somewhere further away...

hope to hear from you soon
