Monthly Spotlight
This holiday season, we want to share the story of Ruby the cuddly golden retriever, making a big move from Canada to Saudi Arabia. With quite the adventure ahead, we were happy to make the whole journey smooth for Ruby and her family! There were plenty of steps to line up: documents, CFIA endorsements, and all the fine print that comes with international travel, so we walked through everything together and kept the process moving at an easy, steady pace.
The family said, “The requirements were quite overwhelming and complex, so I’m very glad I chose to use their services.” Their little love handled the trip like a champ and arrived in great shape- comfortable, healthy, and ready to explore his new surroundings. It was a pleasure to be part of this move, and we’re glad we could help make the transition smooth for everyone involved.
