Customer Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it, read what our customers are saying about us.

I recently contracted World Wide Animal Travel to relocate our elderly cat from North America to Hong Kong. All the processes and paperwork were explained in detail and in writing and checked by their co-ordinator at every step with the result there was no problem when our cat arrived in Hong Kong. All paperwork was in order and the cat was cleared immediately and able to move into her new home the same evening she arrived. A job well done relieving us of much anxiety during a hectic time. She can be seen drinking and exploring her new home shortly after being released from the travel crate.

Had a great experience with WWAT shipping our two pugs from Canada to Australia. Our Rep Fiona was absolutely amazing and on top of everything, ensuring there were no issues with our paperwork/vet work/permits.

She went above and beyond for us to ensure we were able to fly the dogs out on time even when we hit a few hurdles.

We received lots of updates regarding their travel after dropping our dogs off and even received photos from the boarding kennels along the way as they awaited their flights.

I would absolutely recommend them and Fiona!

World Wide Animal Travel are the best! They organized the flight and paperwork for our Jack Russell (Daisy) to fly from Vancouver to London Heathrow. It was a huge stress relief to have someone there to ask questions, to check over paperwork, and to organize the whole process. Our dog arrived happy and safe. We were helped by Jacqueline at Worldwide Animal Travel and we extend our great thanks to her for all that she did for us. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
