Mason in the UK snow after pet travelling
Dear Narelle & Ken,
As you know our relocation from Australia back to the UK didn't always run smoothly with a few hiccups along the way.
We didn't have a clue where to start in getting his travel organised but right from the start you made this a stress-free process for us.
Through all the turmoil and upheaval Animal Travel were the most patient, professional and friendly service I have ever dealt with.
The most worrying thing for us was making sure our lovely dog Mason was looked after and Animal Travel certainly made sure this was the case.
Thank you so much for looking after him so well at your boarding kennels for 2 months before his flight. It was great to get regular updates from you whilst he was with you.
I know Mason loved playing with your Dobermann Morgan all day too.
Mason arrived in the UK looking very healthy and in good spirits and seems to be adapting to the UK climate very well and loves chasing the squirrels in our local forest.
It was so wonderful to know that the most important part of the family was being looked after by the best! Your service was second to none and we simply cant thank you enough!
We will certainly be recommending Animal Travel to all our friends in Australia!
THANK YOU SO MUCH again,
Kevin, Lesley and of course Mason - Cheshire, England.

Guinea Pigs to TexasCats to TexasDogs to Texas
Dear Narelle and Ken,
We have all made it safely to the Lone Star state!
My menagerie were all very happy to see me and I was amazed how well they looked after their big trip - they handled the travelling better than me I think!!
They are now all settling in well to our new home and they also have a new friend - Romeo who is a Dachshund cross - bringing the total of our furry family to 8.
Thank you so much for the wonderful care you took of my animals.
I am extremely pleased with your service and very much appreciate your time and patience in answering my millions of questions!
I am so glad I found your company as you have made the relocation of my furry family so much easier.
I have no doubt that I couldn't have done this myself - god knows where they would have ended up!
Thank you once again for your wonderful, caring service!!!

Pet Rabbit and Cats arrive in Canada
Hi Narelle and Ken
Thanks to all your efforts the 3 B&W furries arrived in Canada yesterday in perfect order. There was some confusion at Vancouver airport by CFIA but solely due to their being a bit confused about PIngu.
It was almost comedic as they were very pleasant and helpful but didn't know what they were doing. The vet with CFIA has been this morning.
Polly and Peugeot are visibly excited about being here. They love the fireplaces and carpeted floors. Pingu is in great shape having spend several months with you in "quarantine" although he is still quarantined for a bit here in Canada so his movements are restricted. We have him in the lounge room with us so he has company.
Thanks for all your help. Without you we could not have kept our furry family together.

Guinea Pig Casper ready for CanadaTWo cats travel with Casper the Guinea Pig to CanadaThree dogs travel with Casper the Guinea Pig to Canada
Hi Narelle and Ken,
Thank you so much for all your help getting our four legged family safely from Perth to Canada!
Having not had any luck for more than a year with any other pet shipper in Perth to get Casper, our blind and deaf guinea pig, from Perth to Vancouver I called and remember your comment Narelle the first time we spoke after explaining what Warner and I wanted to do.
"I enjoy a challenge".
You made it seem effortless, accomplishing what every other pet shipper wouldn't or couldn't do.
Casper travelled really well from Sydney to Honolulu and you coordinated everything for his safe entry to Hawaii. Ken put Casper on his flight from Sydney to Honolulu and Warner and I took him from Honolulu to Vancouver and he is now enjoying the lush grass of Canada - a nice change after Port Hedland's sparse grass!
Our two cats, Giovanni and Jackson, and three dogs, Bella, Solo and Deacon, arrived safely in Canada after spending a week at your boarding kennels and cattery in Sydney. The dogs were bathed and smelled great and were much cleaner than when we sent them to you!
We really appreciate all your help getting our guys home with us. Thank you again!

Our relocation to Bangkok, Thailand was both stressful and daunting for the Williams Family but more so because we were worried for our wonderful Mika. Narelle and Ken from Animal Travel organised absolutely everything for us and left me to worry about everything else. Mika needed to board with Animal Travel for 5 weeks whilst we set up house. Narelle communicated with us frequently assuring us that Mika was happy and healthy.
When Mika was able to join us it all went very smoothly and successfully. Mika was collected at the airport by their agent and arrived at our new home safe and sound.
Thank you very much, you made a stressful relocation much easier.
Here's a picture of Mika and Tasha having some pool fun in their new home.
Best regards,
Sonia, David, Mark, Samantha, Natasha and Mika Williams

Dear Narelle and Ken
Thank you for arranging for "Butler" to come to Hawaii
It was somewhat daunting for us living in Honolulu and did not know what really needed to be done, but you made it all so easy for us to get our new pup from the breeder in NSW
Hawaiian Airlines were also great and all went really smoothly in Honolulu when we went to pick up Butler from the airport
Thanks again

Long term boarding and relocation Sydney to Heathrow on Pet Scheme August 2009



Dear Narelle and Ken
We are simply delighted to have an Standard Poodle "Bowie" safely back home at the conclusion of a very successful few months being shown in the USA (including gaining a 4th place in the Open Class at the Poodle Club of America National Show in April 2009).
A big thanks to you and all those associated with your company (Gary from Jet Set N Pets LAX) for making the final last weeks so easy to deal with.
You are all true caring professionals.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Your sincerity and commitment to insuring the job was done correctly was outstanding.
Best Regards

Having bred and showed dogs (Basenji's) for the past 25 years, we often have needed the services of an animal shipping company. I have not yet found an animal shipping service as professional as that of Animal Travel owned by Ken and Narelle Hammond. Ken and Narelle are committed to ensuring the best possible care and the most competitive rates for my dogs transport. My most recent export to Italy arrived in such great condition that he was awarded BIG 1st only 5 days after his arrival.
I have no hesitation in recommending Animal Travel to anyone seeking the best possible service for their pet shipping needs.

Thank you Ken and Narelle for taking such great care of Enzo.
The family was so excited to see him after such a long time with you. We were so pleased he had lots of other dogs to play with as he loves company.
He was in great condition when he arrived and the long trip from Sydney did not seem to affect him at all and you being able to arrange delivery for him to our home in England made it all so easy for us. Thanks again for such a great service.
