Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Always answered in a timely manner. Very knowledgeable and professional. Wonderful with my dog. Would definitely use again.

From first contact with PetAir and speaking with Mandy Booker, Pet Travel Consultant, and then Liz Blanchette as our Export Consultant, I knew we were in safe hands. The whole team did an fantastic job from start to finish looking after my mums cat, Sue, who has travelled all the way to Australia to be with us. Excellent communication and updates put our mind at ease and reassured us Sue was being well cared for and looked after. We highly recommend PetAir, they did a great job - many thanks.

PetAir from start to finish have made moving our Labrador Zeus to Texas completely stress free. Our move had been delayed several times over an 8 month period and PetAir were extremely helpful and supportive. Thank you so much to the entire team and making my Zeus so welcome and comfortable. A big shout out to Manisha for dealing with my constant emails and worries, you have made such a big move so much easier taking all the stress of our fur baby Zeus!

Absolutely brilliant company. Handled the whole complex process from beginning to end with constant communication and updates. We always knew exactly what was happening. It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for - it’s a cost well worth budgeting for and I know we could not have navigated Australian biosecurity ourselves. Our beloved dog is here safe and sound and it is very much down to PetAir and Emma. Recommend without any hesitation!

5* service for my anxious doodle flying from UK to US!
I can't thank PetAir enough for their help. Manisha was a wonderful consultant who ensured that we had everything we needed to make my dog Leo's flight as seamless as possible. From my initial call with Corinne, I felt I was in safe hands and all of my questions were answered clearly. He has now arrived in the US and as soon as we collected him, he was happy as can be! Thank you so much. I will recommend PetAir to anyone considering moving their pets abroad!

Very smooth. From pickup at our home in UK to meeting us with our sweet pooch in the US...she was clean and well cared for when she arrived. PetAir stayed in touch with us every inch of the trip and handled all the documentation.

Service prior to pick up was awesome!!!! Sarah in particular was fantastic.
Kerry, apparently the bill / payment collector, is not customer oriented, doesn’t read email, threatens to cancel service even when a deposit was made, AND doesn’t apologize when you prove him incorrect via forwarding sent emails that were missed.
The CareTag system needs work. It’s not a great an item as we thought it should be.
I had to call emergency number several times. It wasn’t always answered. A rep did return my call. If updates via caretag were made timely, there shouldn’t have been a need to call.
Drive that made initial pickup was exceptional.
Our breeder pointed out that “crash proof” crates were not used during pick up. She was extremely surprised as she used them when transporting her dogs.
All in all, I’d consider using PetAir again.

Though certainly not cheap, PetAir were extremely professional and responsive. The detail shared, professionalism on the day and obvious care for our dog that they displayed made a complex element of our move overseas go very smoothly indeed.

We wouldn’t have been able to move our dogs across the world from the UK to Australia without Petair, they were so helpful every step of the way. We couldn’t recommend them anymore!

A huge thank you to PetAir for all their help in getting our dog from the UK over to Perth, Western Australia.
A special thank you to Emma, she is the reason I would highly reccomend PetAir. She was always on hand to answer any questions over the process. It can be quite confusing but Emma's professionalism shines and we found the experience to be smooth.
We were helped with what vet dates to book, a list of which vets are suitable, Emma also communicated with the vets on our behalf for paperwork etc. We were given very step by step, clear instructions throughout the process which is very much needed to get your dog over to Australia!
When our dog was picked up to board with PetAir before his flight we knew he would be in safe hands.
Thank you all!

We used PetAir when sending our 1 year old Australia Shepherd from London - Houston. I started the process early as I wanted to get as much information as possible and have everything as ready and planned as possible. Generally we had a good experience, we ended up using the basic plan, as we found a lot of the ad-ons were quite overpriced and we were already paying so much. At the end, the ad- ons were definitely not necessary.
The reality is, they know how much you care for your pet, and will end up paying to get some peace of mind in an already stressful situation.
I will say, I would recommend it, at the end, all went well.
A few bumps in the road: the first representative I spoke to was clearly not as knowledgeable and kept giving generic answers to some of our questions. Once we got in the second phase, we had a different representative that made all the change.
In terms of how much communication you get on the day of the flight - it was really good on the days leading up to the flight and then up until they tell you your pet is checked in. After that, we didn't hear anything until our family member received our dog on the other side.

Do not even look any further if you intend to move your dog to another country. PetAir goes over and beyond the service criteria. My assistant Kerry-Lyn Roelofse and all the staff gave 200% effort and care getting my miniature schnauzer from UK to SA - BEST COMPANY I EVER DEALT WITH ❣️

Amazing service start to finish! I dealt with Liz who had been absolutely faultless!!

PetAir were amazing when exporting my two Boston Terriers to Australia. This review won’t be able to fully comprehend how incredible PetAir were supporting me through this incredibly complex and challenging process. My two dogs are my babies and I put complete trust with Liz and the team at PetAir. Liz’s support was exceptional, her knowledge and dedication towards my furbabies was outstanding.
Liz helped navigate the complex processes, constantly communicating everything to me and complete handholding all the way, nothing was too much trouble. Liz and PetAir went above and beyond for my dogs and they arrived safely into Australia. If anyone is looking for a company to transport your furry family members, look no further and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Worth every penny and complete value for money. You can’t put a price on your pets, and the service I received was impeccable. The service I received was truly exceptional from start to finish. Every interaction was handled with professionalism, genuine care, and impressive attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, anticipating questions before I even asked and providing timely, thoughtful solutions. It’s rare to encounter such dedication and consistency, and it made my entire experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a team that truly values its customers. Liz stood out as an exceptional member of the team, demonstrating a level of professionalism and warmth that truly elevated my experience. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and consistently willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. Their clear communication and genuine willingness to help made me feel valued and supported throughout the process. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill with such a personable approach, and Liz absolutely exceeded my expectations.
Big thx to everyone at PetAir and especially Liz, who’s been a star.

Everything went according to outlined plan.
Very efficient in time given to prepare everything needed for the travel and export.

We recently travelled from London to San Francisco with our 8-year-old cat, and PetAir made the entire process stress-free. From my first enquiry, the team were incredibly helpful and reassuring. I initially spoke with Clare who handled the booking side, and then with Sarah, our Export Booking Consultant, who guided us through every step.
We chose the Premium Package with the US agent service so that all of our cat’s paperwork was handled in advance and her customs clearance would be as quick and smooth as possible. Everything went perfectly, the process was well organised, communication was excellent throughout, and our cat arrived safely and calmly.
I can’t recommend PetAir highly enough. Their professionalism and care made an overwhelming move so much easier for us and our pet.

We moved our cats from the UK to Australia - which is a minefield of paperwork and timed vaccinations. Petair was fantastic in making the process stress free and guiding us through the steps. We had a dedicated account manager (Liz) who was there every step of the way. Once the cats were on their way we received pictures and updates as they moved from our house to the cattery, the airports and finally into quarantine. It felt like a very personalised service, run by people who care as much about the pets they transport as their owners.

My pets travel went terribly. not only were they unavailable to provide the service for the time we agreed upon. We were unable to sleep because the puppy drop off was at 2am. Also They then failed to properly disembark our puppy in Switzerland and instead of putting her in the Cargo facility like we discussed they put her out through baggage claim. This henceforth meant we got a call from Zurich Airport saying she was never checked by their official veterinary office and we have to make a 4-5 hour round trip with the puppy again for them to check her. We do not blame Pet Air UK for this but seeing as how IAG cargo makes people go through your platform it feels all encompassing to us. For the amount of money spent on these services we would think they would run much smoother and proficient. This has just been an all around nightmare.

This was the second time we have used Petair.
Emma was our first point of call but if out of office there was always another member of staff with knowledge of our personal shipment to advise and answer queries.
The first time we used Petair for our cat transport to Sydney Australia and this time for our dog to be transported to Sydney.
Both times we received five star service and couldn’t be happier that we found such a competent first class company to ship our beloved pets.
Don’t be put off by the complicated process. This company walks you through each step of the way and go above and beyond to make sure you know how to complete forms and keep to the structure of vet appointments.
Nothing is too much trouble .
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Petair to arrange shipment for your pets abroad or to return home.
They will be the first company I will call if I ever need to relocate my pets.
This was a five star service from start to finish.
Thankyou Petair we are so grateful.

Thank you Team Pet Air! We had a great experience moving our cavapoo Harley from Scotland to Bahrain. She was very well looked after and we were kept up to date with photos and messages throughout the journey. I would highly recommend Pet Air
