Dafna ChappelVenturePet we're marvelous to work with. We needed to drop off Shadow the cat, after hours and he made a mess at Venture Pet. Lisa was accommodating, friendly and very professional. Keeping all parties involved, up dated, before and after Shadows flight. CheersPosted on Google
Ezmae ReidWe moved from WLG to Brisbane last week and used Venture Pet to bring our Rottweiler and 13yr old cat. The team were very friendly and informative to deal with. The animals were well looked after and arrived happy and healthy. Being a direct flight really put my mind at ease and I would 100% recommend others use them!Posted on Google
Martyn ElvyThe team at Venture pet made the whole process of migrating our cat simple and stress free. Their experience in handling animals and caring for them was clear to see and our cat arrived calm and safe at the other end. I would not hesitate to recommend using them.

Katrina RoweVenturePet were fantastic during the relocation of my Bengal Luna from Lower Hutt to Nelson. Communication was excellent at every step of the way. I was really impressed with receiving updates (and photos!) as Luna made her journey. Absolutely 5-stars all the way - thank you Lisa for making this process a lot less stress for both Luna and me!Posted on Google
DallisThanks so much Lisa & Bruce for taking care of my boy from Welly > Sydney ❤️ He came out happy and ready for his dinner on the other side! Process was super easy from start to finish.Posted on Google
Faye WalkingtonI highly recommend VenturePet to anyone needing international pet transport. They made my cat's journey from Wellington to Paris feel incredibly smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, they clearly explained every step of the process and guided me through all the paperwork and requirements, making what could have been an overwhelming experience surprisingly easy. The team took great care to ensure my cat was as comfortable as possible throughout the journey. Receiving regular updates and photos through the trip and knowing Tui was in such capable hands gave me real peace of mind. Being the only company offering this service directly from Wellington was also a huge advantage, as it eliminated the need for extra travel and logistics before an already long international trip. A special thank you to Lisa, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Thank you, VenturePet, for taking such wonderful care of Tui! 🙏🏼 ❤️Posted on Google
shaina aniahsThanks again to Bruce & Lisa at VenturePets! They went above and beyond for my cats & I. When one of my cages doors wasn’t compliant, they switched it out for me on the spot. They sent me photos of my fur babies in their cages ready for takeoff, and continued communication with me the whole way. Highly recommend!! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies I would definitely use you again if we need to cross the ditch again! :)
