Q. Can I move my pet myself?
A. In most instances you can absolutely move your pet yourself. Especially domestically. To many foreign countries, most notably
South Africa, Australia and England, we strongly recommend using
a pet relocation service as any errors can seriously affect your pet's time in quarantine.

Q. Is using a pet relocation specialist cheaper?
A. No. It would be unusual to find a pet relocation service that
would be less expensive that doing it yourself.

Q. Do you use your own airplanes?
A. No. All pet relocation services use the commercial airlines.
At present there are no pet only airlines.

Q. Is it really safe to fly my pet?
A. Yes. With proper diligence and common sense, relocating your
pet by air is safer than a long road trip in the back of a van filled
with other animals.

Q. Where in the plane does my pet fly?
A. All pets flown as excess baggage or as cargo fly in the cargo
hold of the plane. This area is heated and cooled and is also pressurized. It is the same air you are breathing when you fly
in the cabin.

Q. Should I give my pet a sedative?
A. No, no and no. Sedatives suppress the respiratory system of
the pets and often cause disorientation. Several airlines will not
accept your pet if they are sedated nor will Animal Land, Inc.

Q. What can I do to prepare my pet for travel?
A. The best thing you can do to acclimate your pet for his
upcoming move is to make sure he is comfortable with his crate.
Start by putting treats in the crate and then progress to leaving
your pet in the crate for short periods of time while you are out.
This will help avoid separation anxiety and ensure a
comfortable move.

"Oh happy day! We picked Molly up this morning. We were all so glad to see her. Molly and the whole family thank you for all your help and effort in successfully transporting her half way around the world. I'll be in touch with you again when it's time for us to come back to the US."

"I can’t thank you enough for everything you did – it was such a relief not having to worry about anything and knowing that my Mom didn’t have to worry either. You guys were awesome and I really appreciate everything. I would like very much to post some sort of comment out on your website if that is possible.

Again, thank you so very much!!! I will definitely refer you and Animal Land Pet Movers along the way."
