YOGI briard & PAWS golden retriever to Harare, Zimbabwe
Dear Lisa, We have collected Paws and Yogi from the airport and it is wonderful to have them. Paws seems really tired and Yogi I think travelled better. Although we did a pre clearance yesterday and checked all formalities they changed what they had told us the day before and kept us running back to the main airport 3 times and only released the dogs to us 2 hours after they arrived!! Anyway dogs have had a swim in the pool, drunk and are relaxing on the veranda here with us.
Thank you again it is wonderful to have them with us

KLOE & AMADOU labrador & sphynx cat to Nairobi, Kenya
Hi Lisa, The flight didn’t arrive until 10pm, but the clearance and vet check went smoothly and quite quickly, so we were back to the ILRI campus around midnight. Both animals seemed very pleased and relieved to see us and each other.  Both kept their crates clean. Thanks for all you and Bruce did to make this long journey as comfortable as possible. Very best regards from Africa to you all. Tim

Hi lisa. Just to let u no lilly and phantom arrived safely here last night, we had trouble with customs and were sent home without the cats to my distress as they had lost the original paperwork only to get called back an hour later as they found the paperwork, typical SA. They are now at home in the spare room settling in, phantom not happy but lilly exploring. Thank you very much for all your time and hard work, it is much appreciated.
Thanks again

PHOENIX & JASPER cats to Cape Town, South Africa

Hi Lisa, Just to let you know that Jasper and Pheonix have settled in nicely. Within a couple of hours Jasper was strutting around like he owned the place.  Pheonix stills stays out of sight most of the time, but at night they are both off out hunting and last night brought thier first mouse into the house ( at 1:00 am ) The heat doesn’t seem to bother them much and they have adjusted to sharing space with the dog.
Thanks for everything to get them here.

Cheers
David

JAZZ & BELLE to Mombasa, Kenya

Hi Lisa, Nairobi was a nightmare of bureaucracy and moving from pillar to post. They had to be stored until sighted, paper work read by the vet (holding fees, payable immediately). Import and handling charges (payable immediately). Sighted by me and moved to internal flight cargo (handling charges payable immediately) Each payment had to be made to the on site bank separately and paper work taken back to each department for the next stage all on three different sites. It took hours. I was assured that they would be on the same flight as me! My flight was over booked and I was placed on the next one – Eventually three hours later we (the cats had also missed that flight) arrived together in Mombasa!! The only consolation was that they had been watered, cleaned and taken care of. We arrived home exhausted, and out of sorts. The cats were thrilled to see Carol, food an a quiet room with nice dark hidey holes to lurk in. Sometime in the subsequent five hours Jazz escaped and completely disappeared. The shrub land is densely wooded and impenetrable, home to snakes, monkeys, bush babies, lizards and feline hating bird life – we were beside ourselves. Searched high and low with the aid of all the locals. That night a delighted and excited Jazz pounced on Carol, whose screams woke me up. They (the cats) are in seventh heaven, fortunately they are both very cautious as well. With us they have resumed their old habits and we bow to their every command – they are not too keen on the food though (no variety of Kenya cat food is as good as the five star NZ kai that they are used to!!!!).
Is it worth it? Well I think so, I guess one has a real responsibility to any animal that one adopts and we could never have found such an amazing home for them as this in NZ (even if we could have found a place for them together). Thank you for your help in facilitating this.

Kind regards
Niels

PEPSI cat to Tunis, Tunisia

Hi Lisa, Pepsi has finally arrived at his new home in Tunis. He is a bit tired, but already exploring his new new home. Thank you very much for all your great support and work to get Pepsi to Tunisia. After clearing Immigration and customs at the airport, Markus and I (plus a translator) drove to the Freight Airport to find Pepsi. It was actually quite hilarious as everybody at customs knew about Pepsi. He was the start attraction for them! After we finally found him waiting in his cage for us in one of the warehouses – he seemed to be very happy and quite excited about all the fuzz about him.   After formalities – which took a while – we were finally able to take him home.
I think it is absolutely essential to have someone who can speak either French or Arabic with you at Customs as we would not have been able to do this on our own. There were a lot of discussions amongst the staff there – and we did not understand a word. There was confusion about whether we had to pay anything or not – but at the end they decided to let us take him without any payment. People were very helpful but it was totally chaotic and waiting for a long time in extreme heat was not very pleasant at the time.
Pepsi has already settled in very well and does not show any signs of stress or not being well. The only thing that we are a bit worried about is the Tunisian cat food. It does not seem to be up to standard for him…  At the moment I try to find out whether there are any specialised pet shops anywhere…
It is quite disturbing to see cats all over the place in various states of malnourishment. Never seen so many tiny cats trying to find food in the rubbish and simply trying to survive… Really heartbreaking!
So, who knows – we may end up with more than one cat to bring back…

Best regards
Markus & Ute

Hello Lisa,
We have arrived safely in South Africa and would like to thank you for everything that you have done to assist us with the exporting of “steffi”.

TRISTAN kitten to Cape Town, South Africa
Hi Lisa,
Tristan arrived in perfect condition. He had the run of the house when he arrived and then slept in my arms, snug as a baby. This morning he had some steamed Hake and was slowly introduced to the 14 kittens and later to their moms. He growls and hisses at all of them, but it won’t be for long. Then he had some Royal Canin pellets , posed for the photo session and is now fast asleep on my bed on Lallie’s jersey!  He does not even remember the long  journey!  Thanx once again for everything!!

Rgds,
Elmien

DAX & WORF cats to Tokyo, Japan
Dear Lisa and Helen, as you can see, normal service has been resumed. They are fine, just like they never left us.  ♥️ Eating and drinking well. Lazing about in the sun. All the worrying I did…. I’m just so grateful that they are ok. Can’t thank you both enough.  The process of collecting them took about an hour and a half once we found the right place.  Japanese people are SO helpful and lovely.  It wasn’t at all like I imagined. We can all relax now, first time in months! Keep well

Susilo is back in our possession and doing well in her new home. If ever anyone is taking a pet to Taiwan I would be happy to talk them through what to expect at the customs office. Now that we know the process it would only take about 30 minutes instead of the 2 hours it took us.

CHILLY labrador cross to Singapore
Hi, arrived in one piece.  SG end not as efficient as NZ end – AVA office doesn’t open until 8.30am (we landed at 5.30am) so while SAT customs could do their bit – Craig is back at the Changi Airport waiting on AVA to release Chilly.  Chilly travelled well so can’t wait to get her home.
Will keep you posted
Thanks

CARA cat to Penang, Malaysia
Hi Lisa, Cara has arrived and has settled in quite well. Last night she was a little unsettled but this morning after breakfast she quietened down a lot. Once our furniture is here she can have her favourite bed to go under when she wants to hide away. She seems to have commandeered the top of the kitchen cupboards at the moment and has slept most of the day. I will let you know how she goes over the next few months.  The big test will be out on the balcony.  We have not taken her out there yet in case she decides it is an escape route. Thank you for everything.
Best wishes,
Cyndy, Michael and Cara

MONTE maltese cross & KATIE cat to Tokyo, Japan
Hi Lisa, The flight ended up arriving at 11:15, but they didn’t want us before 12 (and preferably closer to 1) so that they could do the paperwork. We went to cargo, animal quarantine and customs; each time doing quite a bit of waiting, quite a bit of reviewing paperwork, and quite a bit more waiting! Everyone was polite and thorough. We finally got cleared about 2 hours later. Monte and Katie were both well and looked good. They were very happy to see me. They have both settled into the new house and are eating and drinking well. Katie is doing circuits and Monte is siting by our feet. Some photos follow.
Thanks so much for all you have done for them.

REGGIE & RONNIE tonkinese cats to Singapore
Hi Lisa, All went really smoothly from MAF check to AVA inspection. As it turned out by coincidence the aircrafts Captain on SQ286 is my neighbour in Singapore , Tim said the ground crew were really good in NZ and came and asked him to turn up the heat a bit in the pressurised hold for the cats before takeoff. The cats arrived in really good condition to home, both ate a can of food straight away and went straight to the dirt box – so obviously hardly missed a stride. Today they are sleeping a lot. We’re all really happy. A big thanks to you Lisa and the VenturePet team for helping make the move so professional and seamless.
Kind regards,
Brett

FRANKIE husky cross to Singapore
Hi Lisa, Just to let you know that Frankie is a very happy but exhausted doggy after a busy first day in his new home here in Singapore (not to mention his big travel adventure yesterday). Long walk in the morning before it got too hot (met his first monkeys – I think he believes they are like huge cats), car ride to watch some tennis with me and then his first swim in our pool with the kids after school, another walk and finally ….collapsing on my bed in the evening. I think he has made himself at home! Thank you both for helping get him safely to us -we adore him already. Very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Elle Grant

PHOENIX birman kitten to Singapore

Hi Lisa, Phoenix has arrived safe and sound. I picked him up from the airport and had him checked and vaccinated by the vet at Changi; he purred the whole time, and spent the car ride home alternately dosing and yelling that he was hungry, LOL.
I’ve settled him in his own room for the night – he was in the mood to play, but I’m hoping he’ll drift off to sleep, as it’s the small hours of the morning here and I’m heading to bed in a few minutes.
Thank you so much for all your help with getting our little boy to us.. We really appreciate it.

TULLA golden retriever to Shanghai, China
Hello Lisa,
Yes, my sweet natured pup is with us.  She arrived at 2am on Friday morning and was just so happy to see me.  We had a long stroll at 3am, then she slept for a few hours.  Friday morning she met the other dogs of the compound and got on famously.  You were right, she just took everything in her stride. The furniture arrived early Friday morning and I closed her into a bedroom.  She didn’t even bark at the guys.
At present she doesn’t let us out of her sight. Again, many thanks for your care and concern.
Regards, Sheryn

SUMATRA labrador pup to Singapore
Hi:
Just to let you all know that Sumatra has safely arrived in singapore!  She bounced out of her kennel as if she’d just had a day at the park.  She is absolutely gorgeous and full of life.  On the way home, she alternated between chewing my hand, letting me rub her tummy, and curled up in my lap.  We introduced her briefly to Kawa, distributed lots of treats, and now we’re hoping that we can get some sleep.  We took Sumi for a walk in the park, but she shows no signs of being ready to sleep!

Kind regards,

EMERALD cat to Singapore
Hi Lisa
Happy New Year to you too.  I was about to email you to let you know that we have picked up Emerald last night.  She’s been wondering around the apartment and finally came to bed with us.  Firstly, I want to thank you for looking after Emerald while she’s in NZ.  Can you pls give our personal thanks to the lady who picked her up and left a message on our phone of taking good care of her for us?
I have to say I wasn’t very impressed with the Singaporean officials the way how things were handled here.  Although Emerald doesn’t need to be quarantined, she arrived at 7pm and we didn’t get to pick her up till nearly 10pm. There were no instructions where she was supposed to be picked up and what documentations were required.  We were given numbers to call but every one of them seem to be telling us different instructions what we were needed. All they told us were to go the cargo terminal and our taxi driver didn’t even know where it was.  When we arrived at the airport, we left our passports at the apartment and we weren’t told that we need our passports even tho’ Craig already has a Singapore employment pass. We had to go back and get our passports!  We were given the ‘goose chase’ around.   Everything was pretty vague but it is an experience I supposed.  Had to say, nothing was straight forward probably a bit of lost in translation!
The most important thing is that Emerald got here safe and sound.
I would like to thank VenturePet and yourself again.

Cheers
Jeni

MACBETH scottish terrier to Hong Kong
Hi Lisa,
They did re-chip him.  What a horrible big needle they use as well!  They made us hold him down while they did it.  They didn’t care about his ISO chip and said it was HK law.  So we complied.
He is very pleased to be back with his mum and dad, and still won’t let us out of his sight.  Scotties are quite rare in HK so he is already drawing a lot of attention.
Thanks very much for all your assistance in getting him here.  He appears to have been very content when he arrived and we were very impressed at the size of his cage, he had stacks of room.

Kind regards,
Fleur & James

27 September 2016
JAXON Labrador to Brisbane. QLD, Australia
Kia Ora Lisa, to give a short context, we were anxious about having to send our dog overseas without us for several reasons:  we hadn’t done this before, we weren’t sure of costs, we were unsure if any particular service would have the best interests of our dog at the forefront, it seemed to be a long process to organise, and we felt nervous given that our dog was heading to Australia before us (to stay with family on a temporary basis).  It is in this context that we researched various pet flight services in New Zealand and decided upon venturepet because of our location and the location of the service.  From our first enquiry we found Bruce and Lisa to be reassuringly professional.  We found the price was very reasonable and we found that information given to us was very comprehensive and transparent.  As first time users of this service I felt at ease that the process would be seemless and complication-free.  This was affirmed as Venturepet kept in constant contact with myself, my wife, and our family that was picking our dog up in Australia.  From the first enquiry through to the dogs transit to Australia, they kept us in the loop as to where Jaxon was (i.e. hourly/two hourly emails to advise us), what we had to do, as well as answering any questions that any of us had.  We would like to highly recommend this service to anyone that needs to transport their animal overseas (or in New Zealand) and feel confident that first time users of this service will feel reassured in this (sometimes) daunting process.
Kindest Regards
Zane

You were amazing to deal with!

ROXY & MINNI poodle crosses to Perth, WA, Australia
Hello Bruce, Lisa and Margaret, Sorry it has taken so long to email you but we are living in a small place called Abbey, Busselton about 2hrs south of Perth and the internet, phone and tv will quite often not work which is very annoying. Anyway I want to thank you all very much for all your hard work in getting both Minnie and Roxy to Perth.  I felt very sorry for Margaret having been left with a barking dog!!  Sorry Margaret – a huge thank you to you. They were both so excited to see us and very hungry.  We had a bit of turbulence but nothing to major but at least they had the company of a couple of other dogs as well. I definitely could not have done that myself but you made it seem quite easy in the end.  So thank you all again it was very much appreciated.

Needless to say by the time we picked them up and then drove for a further 3 hours they were glad to finally get to bed for the night!!

Thanks again for your help organising her flight and taking care of her in transit in Wellington.
Kind Regards,

HORACE german shepherd & MADGE cat to Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Hi Bruce.  A belated but sincere thanks for your efforts in bringing my pets to Melbourne last month.
You made the whole process effortless and painless. With the plane delay I was, as you know, worried that they might have been stuck on board for the delay but you sorted that. They are settling into their new micro home; missing there two acres of garden and birds for dinner (Madge) but I am doing lots of dog walking and warm poo picking up.!!!! The heat is a challenge though but getting used to it. Me, too!!
The Parks are very dog friendly with disposal bags available in most and bins. Horace is a bit of a novelty as most dogs are half – rather, a tenth of his size. Thanks again, team, feel free to use this as a reference.
Kind regards
Marcus

We are happy to give any endorsements – this is our first experience of shipping pets and you have delivered such an EXCELLENT service, we can finally relax and put energy into our move…let’s hope it’s as ‘pain free’ as the girls’ experience.

Hi Lisa, they have arrived safely thank you both so much.  They were tired after their big day and spent the following two days lolling around catching up on sleep!   We really appreciate all the help you gave us, organising absolutely everything and really taking the stress out of shifting our boys. We had a lot to organise in the shift and it was amazing being able to confidently leave the most important and precious part to the professionals.

Many thanks again, Max and Lesley

CLINT fox terrier cross to Perth, WA, Australia

Happy New Year Bruce and Josh, Thanks very much for the assistance with Clint and he arrived safe & sound in Perth, very happy to see Damian. It wasnt until he got home that he went to the toilet for quite a length of time I was told.
You’ll be amused to know that the new female dog next door loves Clint and has jumped over the fence 5 times already to see him but our dog Lucky doesnt seem too fussed at all with the new addition to the household. Clint is a lovely reminder of the dog we once had (miniature foxy) who we lost to old age just over a year ago. Thank you for providing the cage as I only noticed the crack when you showed me at Venture Pets. Hope all is well in Wellington and would have no problems recommending you to anyone ….. thanks once again.

Regards,
Tina O’Hara

CHIP cavoodle to Brisbane, QLD, Australia

Hi Bruce, just wanted to give some feedback on dealing with your company to get my dog back to OZ.  It was all very easy and thank you specifically for answering all my questions.  Having taken him from Oz to NZ in April I was expecting it to be as involved – but the whole thing was so much easier.  The guy at the airport in Wgtn was great and I felt happy leaving my dog with him, it was also great to be able to be on the same flight and pick him up so quickly in Oz

many thanks

MINNIE maltese dog to Perth, WA, Australia

Dear Lisa and Bruce, THANK YOU!!
I am so pleased that we found Venture Pet to transport Minnie (our wee Maltese) from Auckland to Perth.  There was so much to do with our relocation process but your professional, reassuring and seamless service was faultless!!  I would recommend you to anyone wanting to relocate their beloved pets.  Margaret was an absolute superstar at the drop off point in Auckland even though I was in floods of tears she made me feel 100% confident everything was going to be ok. And it was.  Minnie was waiting to be collected 1.5 hours after the flight landed in Perth just as you said and she was just fine.  In fact she loves it here in Fremantle and has settled right in not at all showing any signs of upset from the journey.  Thank you All.

Kind regards,
Blanche and Minnie

GIMBAL cat to Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know that after a quiet flight across to Melbourne, Gimbal has arrived safe and sound.  We landed about 20 minutes early, and went straight to the Qantas freight terminal and only had to wait about 15 minutes there before being sent to collect her at the warehouse.  She was understandably a bit scared but not overly stressed.  It seemed to be all older men there and they made a fuss of her.  Once in the car she celebrated with a gigantic pee!   Now she just has to get used to the great big birds (crows and cockatoos) that sit on the handrail and watch her through the glass!

Thanks for everything,
Cathy Wright and Gimbal

OPAL & PABLO rainbow lorikeets to Sydney, NSW, Australia

Thank you for all the help and support you provided in getting Pablo and Opal to Australia. Bruce was at your office to take charge of my feathered friends at a very unreasonable hour for him. The Birdies were fresh and frisky at the Sydney end and the process was smooth and efficient with more helpful people and my sister who welcomed me with flowers.
They have settled happily into their new bird-house, room and country and even conducted a noisy and animated conversation with ‘the local bird population’ through my Mum’s meshed window last week.

Many thanks again and best wishes

ROWDY, ISABELLA & RASCAL jack russell & cats to Sydney, NSW, Australia

Hi Bruce & Lisa,
Just to let you know, the pets arrived fit and well and were successfully picked up. Thanks for looking after them so well, they are settling in quite nicely.  One minor matter, when we went to collect them, in order to enter the Qantas freight terminal each person in our vehicle needed to provide I.D. As we had our 3 kids (they wanted to help get their pets) and they had no I.D. with them, they were forced to wait on the road outside the terminal until we had completed the pickup. You might want to advise others in future of this requirement.

Thanks again.

Cheers… James

COOPER & SPUD labrador & fox terrrier cross to Melbourne , VIC, Australia

Hi Bruce,
I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for your help in getting Cooper and Spud over to Melbourne.
Both arrived safely and very excited to see us at the other end.  They have both settled over here amazingly well.
You really were a lifesaver when you managed to get Spud on the same flight as Cooper especially at such short notice.  Venturepet has been mentioned to many of our friends who ask how we got the dogs over and I would not hesitate to encourage people to use your services.
Once again, thank you so much.

Cheers

TRUFFLE, TWINKELS & FUDGE pug & cats to Darwin, NT, Australia

A HUGE thank you again for getting our three babies to Darwin safe and sound.
Truffle is doing very well in Darwin.  She travelled really well and is acclimatising well to the heat, and it is HOT.  It’s 35–36 degrees every day now with humidity up to high 80s. The cats got off their flight like they had done nothing more than a quick trip down the road to the vet.  Truffle was a little more excited about seeking her parents again and according to the handler who signed her over to us, there is never any doubt which dog belongs to which group of people, they let you know, loudly!!!
The cats seem pretty happy to spend most of the day sleeping on the cool tiles or on the bed in the direct flow of the aircon. We have decided that they will be inside cats for the three years while we are here. It is just too dangerous to let them out.  We have croc infested mangroves right outside our back fence and we hear there is a pack of dingos nearby as well.
We have also found a nice vet, Truffle had her Leptosperosis Australis vaccine which she has had to have to protect her from the local strain that we don’t have in NZ.  They are also on a very strict heartworm prevention programme because that is a huge problem over here.  The vet says there is nothing to worry about though, as long as they get their monthly worming treatment they can’t get it.  We’ve also upped the tick and flea control to monthly (rather than every 6 weeks) and so far no creepy crawlies.
On weekends we take Truffle to a beach just outside of town which is dog safe (less danger of crocs or jelly fish) and that is where all the local doggies hand out.

All the best
Ilse

PADDY cat to Adelaide, SA, Australia

HOLLY & SISTER cats to Sydney, NSW, Australia

Dear Bruce & Lisa,
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for looking after Holly and Sister.
Although the hop across the pond was nothing compared to their previous travels from the UK to Wellington,
Mark was waiting anxiously for their arrival in Sydney. Needless to say, Holly and Sister arrived in fine
feckle. They don’t seem at all concerned about having traded the beach for a back yard (unlike us!!)

Kind regards

BLAKE cat to Perth, WA, Australia

Dear Bruce & Lisa,
Thanks so much for getting everything together for me and liaising with Kate at Allvet – I have Blake all safe and sound. Great work. Had used you over the 8 years I was at Allvet or should I say recommended, and had cats and dogs as clients that had used you and always heard great things, But to actually be a client and feel the anxiety of whether they will be Ok flying and not being in the county to organise everything, is something else. So thanks again guys. Especially on your quick efficient service.

Hi all
I’ve collected Pixel from Melbourne airport and apart from been a little scared she is now home safe and sound.  I’ve tried to put her in the litter tray for toileting but she appears to be ok at the moment and have placed some food and water out for her. At this stage she is more interested in tentatively exploring the new surroundings.
Bruce – Many Thanks to VenturePet for your professional for all your service and arranging everything.

RALPH & RONNIE dachshunds to Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Hi Bruce
A big thank you to you for organising to get Ralph and Ronnie to Brisbane for us this morning
They arrived safely and happy.  On asking Ross if they recognised him, he said “does being licked to death count as been recognised?” so I guess that is a yes, which is just fantastic after all this time apart.
The latest text from Ross this afternoon was “hmm back to sharing food!”
Once again many many thanks from both Ross, myself, Ralph and Ronnie. Robyn Knewstubb-Brown

SHERRY & RAIDER huntaway cross to Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Hi Bruce and Lisa,
Raider and Sherry arrived safely and have been very busy exploring every inch of their new yard.  They were both so excited to see us again their tails almost went through the wall of the cage. It was so easy to pick them up from our end so you must have done all the hard work your end — big thanks for that!
I think they must have been jetlagged when they arrived because they were so quiet in the car on the way home, but are now making up for it.
I think they must still be on N.Z time though because at 4am Friday morning they were up even before the birds and promptly went in to give the kids a wake up kiss, so here’s hoping that their body clock adjusts quickly or they may just end up sleeping outside with the possums, snakes and spiders!  (ha ha ha). But seriously though apart from the early morning wake up calls it has been great to have the dogs back with the family, so thank you once again for making it a smooth journey to get the family reunited again.
I will certainly recommend you to anyone.

All the best and thanks once again

Sonja and Kenny Mudge

Thanks so much for the feedback – what a wonderful, dog-friendly service you have provided.  I am so pleased he had an extra walk and exercise before boarding his flight and it’s lovely to hear he is happily on his way ‘home’.  Ryan is on his way to Melbourne as I type to pick him up.

Thanks again for keeping us informed.

Cheers
Sam and Ryan

DENVER & DHARMA maltese cross poodle to Sydney, Australia
Lisa
I just wanted to thank you for taking the initiative to sort out the
transport arrangements for Denver and Dharma. I have become familiar
with Kiwi’s sorting stuff out like no one else over the past three years.
I am sure I will miss this on my return to Aussie or at best have much higher
service expectations than when I left.

Czarina
We are now in good shape thanks to the excellent local support we have
received from Venture Pets.  We personally delivered all
the necessary papers to Venture Pets so the paper work could be processed
in time for Denver and Dharma can travel on the same flights as Anne and I.

BABY cat to Perth, Australia
Hi Bruce,
I just wanted to let you know that my cat arrived safely in Perth last night. The long trip obviously didn’t affect her at all. To my relief she didn’t even show any signs of shyness or stress either. So, once again, thank you very much for the excellent service you provided to get her across the “ditch”. That’s indeed appreciated!

Best wishes,
Bernd

XENA yorkshire terrier to Melbourne, Australia
Hi Bruce,
Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your assistance with getting our Xena from New Zealand to Australia.  We collected her from the Qantas freight depot last night, cost was only $33, and she was in perfect health.  We were so pleased to get your email with all the correct information after having had the two phone calls from Qantas with incorrect information.  Once again thanks very much for getting our precious Xena to us safe and sound.

KATIE & BELLE cats to Perth, Australia
Hi Lisa
Both Katie and Belle arrived safetly and they looked healthy. They both had water containers and it was great to see them both. They were very well looked after on the flights, only because all the arrangements were done so well in Wgtn. They have both been exploring the house and found space in kids bedrooms to sleep in.
Thanks again and you are right, it feels we are a complete family now.
I will definetly recommend your services to family and friends.

Love to the family.
Cheers

NISMO staffy cross to Perth, Australia
Hi Bruce and Lisa,
Just want to express our thanks to you and your team for your outstanding and professional service.
Nismo is now safely arrived and we had no problems what so ever picking him up from Perth. He is loving being back with his Mum and Dad, so now just needs to get used the heat over here!
Also would like to thank you for contacting me to advise he was fine in Auckland, it eased my worries for the rest of my trip.
We would definately recommend Venture Pet to anyone transporting pets.

Thanks again

FLOYD labrador to Brisbane, Australia
Hi Lisa
Just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts with Floyd.  He arrived safe and sound in Brisbane last night.  My son bought him a pigs ear for a treat and he was more interested in that than anything else so I guess his stress levels weren’t too high!
I have recommended you guys to our local vet and a couple of other people who  I know are shipping pets soon.

Cheers and thanks again

BREENA &  BROOKE  hunterways to Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
Hi Lisa,
We picked up Brenna & Brooke last night and judging by the amount of barking they were pretty happy to see us!
Thanks very much for all your great work; you’ve been awesome to deal with and we’ve been very impressed with the fantastic service.
Thanks again – it’s wonderful to have our dogs over here.  Our daughter commented last night “now it feels like home”.

All the best

INDI, JACK & TEAGAN dogs to Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia
Hi Lisa & Bruce, thank you so much for your help and support transporting our dogs.
As you know this event for us was quite nerve racking, and without any experience doing this before we we’re completely at the mercy of Venture Pet. All of our questions and concerns we’re settled and our inexperience was of no problem at all, we cant recommend you’re company to other worrying “parents” enough.
We we’re really pleased with your agents in Aussie as well, the dogs obviously had no troubles as Teagan jumped back in the van while the last was being let out : ), also as far as the dogs we’re concerned i’m sure they had no idea what just happened, no signs of stress or confusion or anything of the likes at all.
Of course if the future called for us to transport our dogs, Venture Pet will be the only one on the list.
Thank you very much again, if we can add to your web site recommending your services, please just ask.

Adam & Wendy

Cats to Coolangatta, QLD, Australia
Hi Lisa and Bruce -Just want to say a big HUGE thank you to you both for all your help in getting our 2 cats from NZ to Australia.
I was expecting them to be a lot more stressed and agitated than what they were but they were just fine, they were both lying in there cages and seemed quite happy.
They have had a sleepy day today and are very happy to be here with us and it’s all thanks to you guys at Venturepet. Thank you so much for your fast, efficient, professional service.

MORGAN labrador cross to Frankfurt/Dresden Germany
I cannot recommend more VenturePet and Lisa if you need to transfer your pet. She was extremely efficient in organizing the move of our dog Morgan from Wellington to Dresden, Germany and keeping us up to date with his progress half around the world. She was also very understanding of all our concerns and was always ready to answer our questions. Additionally, she took care of coordinating with the pet transport company in Germany who walked Morgan thru German customs in Frankfurt and brought him to us in Dresden. Morgan arrived well, just very tired and a bit hungry. Thank you Lisa and VenturePet for taking care of Morgan!

Hi Lisa, I have been nothing but impressed with your dedication and care you’ve shown in the transport of pour cats.   You’ve provided a seamless service and your photos and constant communication had been incredibly reassuring.  Tosca and Otto are settled in well.  They love the warm.  Thanks again for everything.  I know this process would have been a nightmare without your amazing service.

HURREM cat to Ankara, Turkey
Hey Lisa, My family and I wanted to thank you for all you have done. Hurrem has arrived healthy and well. The import process went by quite fast but that was because we knew someone who worked at imports. I would imagine that without someone who personally knows this procedure it would be extremely long and difficult. Thank you again and hope that you’re well.
Best Regards

CLAWDIA cat to Warsaw, Poland
Hi Lisa, Clawdia arrived in Warsaw today and was all well and good. She seemed to travel like a pro, very calm and relaxed. Papers had been removed from top of cage and took about 30min for customs to locate them, but found them in the end, phew! The fee at this end was about NZ $60 to import, if anyone ever asks in the future. Thanks for all your help.

TEDDY cat to Munich, Germany
Dear Lisa, Teddy got here safely and is as happy and playful as ever. Even the import vet praised his personality and how lovely and cuddly he is even though he just passed so much time on the plane. It took us about 3 hours to finally get him, they changed a lot at the airport/cargo area so it took us a while to get the documents. It’s been 13 hours and he has only slept 30 minutes today, I don’t know where he gets all his energy from! Even after losing two flower pots and several plants to him we are all so so extremely happy to finally have him here!  We can’t thank you enough for organizing everything so smoothly and keeping me updated a lot.
Best regards

Hi Lisa, Humphrey has arrived in Paris!  Stephanie’s colleague delivered him safe and sound to our apartment. Other than being very hungry, he doesn’t seem too bothered by it all.  Thank you for all your help – we really appreciated the great communication and updates.  Quite a few people in Wellington recommended VenturePet to us (including our vet) and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others too.
Thanks again to you and the rest of your team.

Hi Lisa, I have Chloe here in Paris, she was just so so excited to see me. She was yelping and jumping all over me.

I would not hesitate to recommend ‘Venture Pet’ to anyone.

BETH cat to Barcelona, Spain
Hi Lisa, Thanks very much. Yes, Beth is now back to normal. The comfort purring has stopped, and she’s not disorientated during the night .
She seems to be enjoying the balcony views – I’ve made a catio so she can watch the world go by safely – and so far the heat isn’t much of an issue. Our walks aren’t as good as in NZ but I knew that’d be the case and I’m making it work as best I can. She seems very content.
Thanks for your help with the move, and best wishes. All the best to you, too.
Cheers,
Helen

PIXIE & PUKKA cats to Geneva, Switzerland
Hi Lisa, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! For your patience with us while we tried to set a date. For your patience and understanding and answering my many questions. For calming me down and showing how much you and your family care that this move went to smooth. Thank you for the updates throughout really appreciate it. Liz opened the cages while I was on the phone so I could watch them take their first steps in the new house, they quickly went to discover and sniff everywhere as cats do. it didn’t seem like it was anything different than a move much more locally which we did previously. This has been pretty full on but as you said more for the owner than the cats it seems! I am so happy that I can get now properly excited about our new adventure knowing they are there, healthy, happy as nothing has ever happened. So again thank you so much for your care in all of this!
Cheers,
Jay

JAKE border collie to Helsinki, Finland
Hi Lisa, Jake’s travel was very good. We saw her being unloaded in Singapore and land personnel waved to us and showed thumbs up. That gave us some peace of mind 🙂 In Helsinki the customs wasn’t open until 8am, so we had to wait for 40 minutes there. The customs paperwork took surprisingly long time but eventually we got everything sorted by 8:45. We loaded everything in to the car and hit the road for another 2 hours. Jake was quite tired and slept for the most of the time.  When we got to our place in Tampere, Jake immediately recognized the place. All scents seem to be super interesting. Attached is a video of our first walk. Everything went smoothly. We were lucky to dodge the fog that stopped all flights from Wellington on the following day!
Thanks,
Teemu

ODIN labrador to Frankfurt, Germany
Just wanted to say HI….  His first vet visit went fine. He is healthy, and it took him 2 minutes to charm all the ladies in the office there 😉  Just a shot from our recent walk up the road from us. He seems to be fine & enjoys hanging out with his new human friends. Unfortunately, there seems to be a German law against letting dogs off the lead here. He doesn’t have a lot of dog friends yet, but we are only here for close to 3 weeks.
Kind regards,
Katja, Odin & the rest of the family

BRO & SIS cats to Sofia, Bulgaria
Hi Lisa & Stephanie, I just want to thank you guys so much for getting Bro and Sis safely from New Zealand to Bulgaria. I had been so worried for so long about doing this to them that my anxiety levels were so high when I dropped them off for their long haul flights. that I nearly forgot my own flight!!!!!!!!! Bit of confusion at Sofia airport getting the right departments and paperwork completed but it all eventually got done (after all this is Bulgaria!!!). They have settled fairly quickly – and even had a supervised wander around the garden yesterday. I really cannot thank you enough for such an excellent service.
Thank you again and again

Dear Lisa, The pets have arrived well and sound after the long adventure, I must congratulate you and Bruce for the perfect handling as well as the choice of your French associates; it was a long trip and seemed to have gone without a hitch. What I did appreciate are the many mails you sent confirming their stopovers at all their ports of call, as it were! We are reunited now in Paris and have wonderful memories of our Kiwi days and friends.
Warm Regards

POPPY bichon cross to Barcelona, Spain
Dear Lisa, Well, the most difficult part was knowing Poppy was on the same aeroplane as I was.  So tricky not asking to see her!
Poppy was quite cruisy all in all which surprised me. But she still seemed pleased to see me. Jordi phoned to see if I had to have a crate for Poppy on the train, and was told because she is small she doesn’t.  I really didn’t want to take a crate as well.  But the person at the train station asked where her crate was.  While thinking she asked if I had a bag for Poppy, so I whisked out a shopping bag she fitted into!
By the way in the end I left the crate with Jordi as I thought he could use it and I certainly couldn’t take it as well!
Heaps and heaps of love and thanks for all you have done for our darling wee Poppy.
Penny

Hi Lisa, The cats are home now and they seem fine. Thank you very much for looking after and keeping track of them all the way to Finland. Dealing with Finnish customs was a nightmare!

KURI corgi cross & SENAPE cat to Rome, Italy
Hi Lisa, greetings from Kuala Lumpur, where we’re in transit. Just before we left NZ we heard that Kuri and Senape had arrived safely in Rome. There was some hassle with us having to write and email a declaration of ownership in a big rush to avoid a 300Euro fee when my brother-in-law went to collect them at the airport. Fortunately we were able to sort that out fairly easily with help from the friends we were staying with, but it might be worth taking note of in case you have to send any more animals to Italy in future. Thanks again for all your work on this!

PAUL cat to Vienna, Austria
Hi Lisa, all went very well. Was a bit of a journey to get him from the airport including customs sending me to the Vet without the need to go there as everything was done already in the UK. It did cost me just under 30 euros to get him so not too bad.
Paul was very quiet but left his cage very quickly and started investigating his new home and was very cuddly with us.  So all went very well. Thank you for taking care of him and organising his travel.
Kind regards, Isabel

BOSWELL cat to Paris, France
Dear Lisa, Boswell is here at last. It was a long journey yesterday back from Paris and too late to email you yesterday. He seems Ok but seriously needs to lose some weight! I think he has been comfort eating. I am sure that as he resumes normal life he will slim down again. It has obviously been a big thing for him but he seems pleased to see us and after a bit of R and R I’m sure he will be fine. Thank you for your help in getting him here, we are very grateful to all concerned,
Best wishes, Pam and Steve Loy and Boswell.

Sincerely
Brandy

ZOMBIE large munsterlander to Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Hey Lisa, My flight went great, everything went smooth so that was awesome. Once I arrived on schiphol airport and went over to customs after crossing the border, the did not seem to know much about transporting dogs and after some asking around they directed me to an customs office on the first floor of the airport. My parents and me went here with the copies of the papers, but this did not work as they needed another original paper from the cargo place. So we went there first. The cargo place is a bit of a pain in the ass, there is a strictly controlled entrance where every person that wants to get in has to show their passport and I than obtained a ‘visitors pass’ which I could use when I needed to enter the 2nd time. Then I had to drive all the way to the end and find my way around the building before getting to the actual office. Once I got the official paper, I then had to drive back to the airport and go back to the customs office. Meanwhile, a huge line had formed here and it would take me forever to wait in line, talking 30 to 40 mins. Luckily the customs guy in the office recognized that I was the ‘dog person’ and let me go in front. I obtained stamps and everything and then returned to the cargo place using my card. Finally after all the papers were all ready and finished off I was able to take zombie home :)! Phew! It probably took me 3 hours all up but I’m so happy to have Zombie with me now!!  Anyways, I want to thank you so much for your service of transporting my dog :D!!!!
I’m so happy!
Thanks,
Liz

Hi, I think we had Mex by about 10.30 as we did not get to the airport until then.
At this end everything went quite smoothly we only had to produce the documents you told us (needed to be my passport). Local handling fee was @$70 euros. Mex was so happy to see us and is happy in her new home, the neighbourhood cats have been put on notice J
Thanks for your help Anton

SID & DIEGO cats to Frankfurt, Germany

Hi Lisa, Sid & Diego have finally arrived! 🙂 both seem happy to see me overall. They are of course not so excited to be inside now but they have to get used to it. Lots of running around at the airport but I ‘only’ paid 128 Euro for them at the Import-Vet. No customs fee as they are “persona effects” plus 2 x 35 Euro for the ‘lounge’. All good. Thanks so much for everything.

Kind regards

Just to let you know that I got home fine with Matisse. It went well at Nice airport – no problems at all. He was very pleased to see me – as I was to see him! Only had to pay 150 Euros at Nice, which was awesome. I am very happy to have him here with me. He is now asleep on my bed!  Thanks so much for arranging everything. It all went extremely well. I really did appreciate getting all the updates during the trip. It really gave me peace of mind. You run a really great business.
All the very best.

Kind regards,
Catherine

BLUE husky cross collie to Brussels, Belgium

Hi Lisa, We have just come home from picking up Blue. She was very happy to see us and a little overexcited. Despite the flight arriving at 6 pm, it took an hour and half for Blue to be delivered to the warehouse and another half an hour to do all to formalities (including going to two different customs offices). We finally left the airport after 8 pm and had over an hour’s drive to Liege.) She was very happy to get ‘home’ and investigate all of the rooms etc. Our new kitten was less happy!  Thanks for all of your help.

Best regards,
Christopher

MAX beagle to Madrid, Spain

Hi Lisa, Max arrived safely and was incredibly happy to see us! As were we to see him!
He’s settled in nicely and after a couple of days of being a bit lethargic he is back to his old playful self 🙂
All went well at the airport and the handling fees were not very high. Customs was a bit of a hassle (which we expected :)) but he was cleared a few hours after arriving.
Thanks so much for getting him to us safely!
Hope all is well back in windy Welly,

SOOTY cat to Geneva, Switzerland

Hi Lisa, she is here!  Currently having a good old explore around a couple of her new rooms.  She was pretty unhappy at the cargo depot but now she is home she seems to be better now she has some distractions.  Certainly had worked up a bit of an appetite on the journey I think!  Hopefully she settles in fine after her very long trip.
Thank you so much for your help with getting her here

Cheers

GIORGINA cat to Rome, Italy

Hi Lisa,
we have arrived and Giorgina is doing just fine. Thank you very much for everything. Basically picking her up proved quite a challenge: I had to move between dislocated offices to collect stamps, documents and make payments. A lot of hassle could have been prevented if the local shipping company (BOC, was that the name of this company?) would have taken care of the vet payment. They should have known the cost and the procedure. Had this been payed in advance (55 Euro) I would have saved having to go back to the post office at the terminal (3km away from the cargo area), pay there and go back with the receipt before the vet would have a look at the cat. Because of this the whole procedure took us 3 hours before we could leave the airport with tired children. The total cost was luckily not as high as you warned me against. The payments were:
Vet:5 Euro, BOC: 20 Euro, Customs:3 Euro
So thanks again, and we will surely recommend you if anyone needs to know.

Best regards,
Robert

DAFFY & GOBBOLLINO cat to Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Hoi Lisa,
All arrived safe and sound! Daffy still very talkative on the drive over but remembers the house well and is sleeping deep. He seems very happy to be ‘home’ again. Gobbolino still not so sure but after speaking with mom over skype came out from under the couch and started to explore the room.
Thank you again for everything you have done for us. I have done this trip with cats twice before and none have been as friendly and professional as with your company. I really appreciate your looking after my family where i can’t!
Met veel dank,
Janine

BOB & JACK Labrador & cat to Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Hi Lisa
Bob and Jack have been released and I was able to pick them 12pm. They were both pretty relaxed. Jack was his normal happy self and Bob was a bit overwhelmed by everything happening around them. The ladies @ Schiphol airport were lovely and very helpful. The boys were happy to be out of their cages and I guess will get used to their new home soon.
They both love their new Dutch life. And I so enjoy having them around again. There was no charge at Schipol airport. I also did not have to sign anything and they were just handed over to me with the customs documents. I got a query from a friend of a friend the other day requesting information regarding shipping a labrador to the Netherlands and I did recommend Venture Pet because of the good service, information and pricing.
Thank you so much for your excellent care and communication, that was much appreciated.

Cheers

CASS & JAZZ cats to Split, Croatia

Hello Lisa,
Cass and jazz finally arrived Friday afternoon at 3-30pm and after an hour of more customs formalities we finally arrived home to Postira at 7-30pm.
They were both in good condition a little nervous and disorientated. Staying at the cat lounge was a bonus, However they are now settled and recognised us and the furniture so felt at home immediately.
As I type Jazz is lying beside the computer quite relaxed.
Thank you for all your help.

Kind regards,

SASHI springer spaniel to Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Hi!
Just a quick note to say Sashi arrived safe and sound in Schiphol this morning. I picked her up 2 hours ago, and she was a bit scared – first time on escalators in a train station – but she is fed and watered and now having a rest.
Thank you so much for all your help in getting her here, the service was amazing, and so easy, very assuring for a pet owner.
Thank you!
Nina Hi Lisa, I would like to thank you and your company too for the excellent service you have given us. It was great to be informed at every step of what was happening and we could in this way follow her trip around half the world. If only she could talk! Sashi arrived safe and well, but tired, according to Nina. Now she has got to get used to so many new things, Nina said she didn’t like the escalator at the train station and had to be carried on that scary contraption!
It certainly felt like you gave us the personal touch and reassured us about what was happening. This reflects in all your work and that is why I chose your business in the first place.
Many thanks and our warmest appreciation

ROSIE golden retriever to Berlin, Germany
Dear Lisa,
Have you ever seen the biggest grin on a dog and a woman in tears at the same time!
Rosie has arrived – all safe and sound and no signs of jet lag as yet. She has jumped out of her cage and looks like she has been here for ever – even chased the neighbours cat over the back fence! She is wondering what the caw caws of the crows are and can’t wait to explore tomorrow. I will take her to the vet I found tomorrow- just to check if there are any other vaccinations she requires.
She was delivered her here about 6pm, and she hasn’t stopped grinning and wagging her tail since! She is fully alert and happy- eaten and drunken Ok,  but I think is starting to get sleepy now – it is only 46 hours since she left- AMAZING!
She looks fantastic – Thanks so Lisa and wish you were here to see her SO happy,-if you ever need any references call us cause we feel you  did a fantastic job- let alone all the set backs along the way!.
Kind regards,
Louise.

Many thanks Lisa – you’ve done a great job for us and Rosie (under, as you said, somewhat unusual circumstances).  Feel free to give us as a reference to anyone considering using Venturepet.
Regards
Peter Rider

LEO golden retriever to Madrid, Spain
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for thinking of him to the extent that you called Heathrow 🙂 We’ve been thinking of him the whole time too. I’m really glad to hear he didn’t suffer any ill effects from the flights and I’m quite sure he’s enjoying his “spa day” in London before jetsetting into Madrid !
I’ll be in touch when we’ve picked him up. I really appreciate the care you’ve gone to with Leo…
We finally got Leo at about 5pm on Friday – his flight was delayed and then we had a number of hoops to jump through for Customs. He was terrified poor chap but he had just come off a forklift…. He was overjoyed to see us and once we got down to the coast has slowly become his old self, so no long term damage 🙂 We’ve been very pleased with everything you’ve done, thank you. It´s so good to have him back with us.
Leo is relaxing as I write this in his new bed having put his trip entirely behind him. His ear is repaired and he’s back to his old self. He has discovered a new game – bunny chasing on the marsh near our house and leaps like a gazelle through the bush to keep up with them. He’s a very happy dog 🙂
Thank you for everything. We’d have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone if you need it, which I doubt you do….  He’s also ready for his next stop, hopefully France next year, with his new EU passport !
All the best and have a great new year

Kind regards Cheryl & family

Big thank you!!
A note from our French agents:
Debbie, I congratulate you on your choice for the pet carrier, I really have no complaints whatsoever and am very happy with her follow-up.  The dogs were crazy happy to get out of the cages, I was there to witness their joy at being with Nadene and the baby again.

Thank you so much for everything

KITTEN to Frankfurt, Germany
Hi Lisa,
The kitten is with us at home now. Everything was absolutely perfect. The kitten was clean as was the travelling box. She wasn’t hungry or thirsty, just wanted to get out of the box IMMEDIATELY, what is quite understandable. She wasn’t distraught, but confident and trustful. Of course here are a lot of things she has to learn, but she is very affectionate and fits in without any problems.
Thank you very much. I am so happy, that everything went so well and the kitten was obviously fine during its long journey.

Thanks again.
Cheers

NOTHING cat to Zurich, Switzerland
She’s here and we’ve safely driven home from Zurich and she’s pretty happy.
I think it was incredibly hot for her in the car with her winter coat
because she was hyperventilating and panting like a dog, so I let her out
of the cage and she sat on top of it and behaved herself on the way home.
She’s now exploring her new home after happily lying down on the cold
bathroom tiles for a little while, has eaten and had water and seems
completely fine.
So thank you VERY MUCH for all your work on this project!  I’m very happy
that she’s finally here..

Cheers,
Penny

PICCOLO (Pickles) cat to Wrexham, Wales
A very big thank you to all of you for looking after Pickles so well.  He arrived a week ago Friday in very good condition and has settled in so well.  On the Saturday, he was out and about on his own, now sees other cats off “his” property and goes under the fence to the golf course which is just next door.  He just loves it.
Again, a very big thank you to all of you for all your assistance.
Catherine – could you please pass the above on to the driver who brought him up from London.  He was excellent to deal with and phoned on the Saturday to make sure everything was okay.  Very much appreciated.

Cheers

Thank you so much for all the help from you when my cat went missing, Its really nice to deal with people like you in a situation like that. I’m very pleased about the way you have handled it and I feel that my beloved animals are in good hands with you.
Thanks again, it mean the world to me.
I will let you know when we are all safe and sound back home.
…..Just want to let you know that all my babies arrived safe and sound. It was a big reunion at the airport and I was very pleased to see how happy they all were.
They have all settled in, in their new home and no one would be able to tell that they have been travelling half way around the world.
Thank you so much for all the help all the way, also with Tjasser 🙂

MURPHY border collie to Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Hi Lisa and Bruce
Just to let you know Muphy arrived safe and sound.  He was fine once he realised he hadn’t been abandoned and he had a reallllllly long pee on the grass in the cargo yard.  He was VERY happy to be out to the cage, it fitted fine in the car too.  So thanks for sending his over safely, he had plenty of water.  It cost 80euro in customs charges.  I got all his documents back no problem.  They are really into their paperwork – we had to get papers and take them over to customs and then bring them back and show our passports again and then they brought him out on a forklift.  We were the only ones allowed into the cargo premisis, Ruurds brother and wife had to get out of the car and wait it the cold – the dutchman there said ‘this is not a supermarket” and they could not come in.   We stopped at a big reserve just out of amsterdam and went for a long walk with murphy so he really enjoyed that.  Muphy is fine, we have just been out and walked around the village this morning.

Thanks for everything.

Rachel, Ruurd and Murphy 🙂

HEMMINGWAY cat to Athens, Greece
Dear Lisa and Bruce,
Hemi arrived in great shape – a bit tired, thirsty, but otherwise fine. The customs process at the airport was truly byzantine – at least 15 officials had to sign half a dozen forms in three airport buildings…I was able to take Hemi away at 11am after a 4-hour paperwork maze…yikes. The Greeks do love their bureaucracy…It cost 57 euros to get him out (not bad when you think about it).

Thanks again for everything!

YODA chihuahua to Oslo, Norway
Hi Lisa,
thanks for everything. Yoda is safely in Oslo with me – hooray. He is not too impressed with all the white fluffy snow stuff though!!
There were a few problems with the pick up unfortunately but mostly sorted I think. The main thing still outstanding is the original rabies vacc did not arrive with him – only a photocopy, and I think I need the original if we want to head back to NZ at some stage. We have checked with customs here and Freight feeders and they didn’t seem to know anything about it so if you are able to follow this up please. Thanks.
Also to let you know I had a particularly grumpy phone call (from customs I think) so when we were heading to the airport saying that we had filled in the wrong type of form for his arrival, and had also not notified the vet in advance of his arrival. Plus they didn’t realise that he was coming through KL and were initially a bit dubious but seemed to work through it. Apparently I was responsible for these but as I didn’t actually fill in the form, and didn’t know I was suppose to notify the vet, I didn’t really know anything about it. Also, they tried to get us to pay GST on his arrival but we managed to convince them not to since we weren’t going to sell him or breed from him etc. Anyway – not really any major issues but thought I’d let you know for future reference if you’re sending more dogs this way to be aware of. The main thing for me is he arrived safely and seems to be settling in so thank you for all you have done.

Cheers
Susie

JACK cat to Copenhagen, Denmark
Hi Lisa/Bruce,
Jack arrived safe and sound. You would never really know he was such a long flight at all. This morning he had his first outside adventure in the snow, and is rather pissed that there is no garden just for him – understandable as I feel slightly the same! Jack’s eaten, napped, gone for lots of cuddles, and has taken it all in his stride, you’d never know that he was on a 30 hour flight with only water.
Thank you so much for the great care you took of him, and for making this move a great time for both us and Jack.
The paperwork wasn’t that bad really, it was all to make sure he got into our new home safe and sound.

Again, thanks so much for all your hard work.

BINGO border collie to Warsaw, Poland
Hi Lisa, have arrived safely in Warsaw and then drove 350 km to Krakow with a couple stops. Bingo customs took over 3 hrs as a woman who supposed to stamp papers was busy with other inspection. This was quite annoying as I saw & spoke to Bingo but couldn’t take him out of the cage. He was initially a bit confused and didn’t recognise me for 30 – 40 sec & then huge joy & said – take me home (whatever home meant). He was hungry & tired but happy. Found him clean and pretty shiny.  Bingo got used to the new place by now and enjoys walks in the neighbouring forest. He has already met new mates & runs around the property (the house is located about 15-20 km from the city centre) as the weather is quite good (-2 C min up to + 8 C max) for winter & no rain to speak of.
Once more thank you so much for looking after Bingo and being so helpful and informative.

All the best

PUKKA & HAKA dogs to Madrid, Spain
…made it safe and sound to Madrid. We then drove them on a long and crazy 5 hour journey to Barcelona.  They were so happy to see us and looked in really good shape considering what they had been through.
Thanks you so much for delivering our little loved ones to us half way across the world. We truly appreciate it.

KASPER cat  to Tel Aviv, Israel
Hi Lisa.  Again thanks for all your help.  Yes he is home. Happy.  In his tunnel or playing on the iPad.  He has lost weight and had a little snuffles. But all ok by the vet who said it was the dryness of the airline air for soooo long and the long journey. He is happy to be at home.
All the best

LOU – kelpie to Dubai, UAE
Hi Lisa. Pick up Lou safe and well yesterday from Dubai. A very tired puppy dog. Very happy to see me. He had a good nights rest. He should have as he took up the whole bed. Have attached a photo for you called. Seriously you guys can’t sleep in my bed. It’s way to cramped. The look on his face says it all. And another one called. So tired. Bad jet lag. This international travel is exhausting. Will be in touch later on again. Just wanted to let you all know that he arrived all fit and well. And to share a couple of photos. Thanks for everything again. I can’t thank you enough.
Kind regards.
Matt Otter and Lou.

SCARLETT wheaten terrier to Dubai, UAE
Hi Lisa, We were very pleased to see Scarlett.  She was extremely relieved to be out of the crate! – 28 hours plus time zones and change of planes is a long time to be in a crate. She went to the vet the day after she arrived, who said Scarlett was in pretty good shape, all things considered.  Bath time as soon as she’d been to the vet J We’re just watching for any signs of dehydration, but all seems ok.  It’s a good time of year to bring an animal in as the temperatures are in the mid to high 20s, so manageable.  Thanks for all your coordination to get her to the UAE.
it’s nice to have our whole family together again – feels like she was never away.
Kind regards
Melanie

MAYA, ZULU keeshonds & AZTEC, INCA chinchillas to Doha, Qatar

Hi Lisa, We have just been re-united as a family! Thankyou so much for all you did for us. The dogs have arrived in excellent health after a very long journey and they are now sleeping quietly by our feet while Nick and I have a celebratory drink!
The chinchillas are now bouncing about their new cage – it’s as if they have never been on a plane. Their cage has a few chew marks, but the wire held up well. Congratulations at keeping a very chewy pair on chinchillas in their cage for 24 hours!
Thankyou for all your emails during the animals’ travel – made Nick and I feel so much better.
Maya and Zulu have settled in to the house and have enjoyed their first walk on the beach! If anyone else is moving to Qatar from NZ, you are welcome to put them in touch with me to help answer any questions they might have about doggies living here.

Thanks again
Kathy, Nick, Maya, Zulu, Aztec and Inca

NED & NESSIE to Tel Aviv, Israel

Dear Lisa, We had to wait around 2 hours at the Airport.  They had to wait for the Vet, then Customs, but we now have two very happy cats at home with us.your updates were just outstanding, and took away a lot of worry for us.
It snowed heavily in Jerusalem today; the first time in many years and this morning the roads were closed.  We nearly never made it, but work put on a 4×4 for us.

Thanks again for all your help.

DIESEL rottweiler cross labrador to Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Hi Lisa, DKC phoned early and kept us informed about delivery times and he arrived at home at 11 am-ish. He was a bundle of energy and bounded out of the cage. He’s been great ever since. Both of us are feeling the heat a bit but we will acclimatize. DKC returned all the docs and put them in a lovely folder with heaps of info about owning a pet in Dubai. They registered him for us so we don’t have to worry about that. We will definitely be using them (and you) in the future!
Thanks so much Lisa, you were amazing, I loved the description of him being a big mushy black lab!!!!

We are so grateful to VenturePet for the amazing job Lisa and the team did of transporting our beloved Diesel to Dubai. I cannot thank them enough. Lisa was very patient with me organising all his vaccinations making sure I didn’t stress.
Right from when he was picked up he was cared for so well, Lisa even emailed photos of him throughout the journey. It was so reassuring to know he was in good hands. He is a very large dog but his crate was just the right size for him and the water was firmly secured so he could always have a drink if he needed one. When he arrived he was a bundle of energy, noone would have known he had been on a long flight.
For anyone thinking of moving animals anywhere in the world I don’t think there is any other company who could match VenturePets professionalism and genuine caring for our pets. I would recommend them to everyone.

Take care
Glenda, Bernie & Diesel King

Thanks for taking such good care of them for us.  Attached are a couple of pics.

TIKI ocicat to Dubai, UAE
Hi Lisa
Tiki is great – racing around the apartment and we take her for walks outside in the garden on a harness so she can acclimatise.  And so we don’t lose her!  The locals haven’t seen anything like it.
And she likes her cage and goes back in it to drink water so she has travelled well. Thanks so much for allaying my fears!
Venture Pet was excellent.  They were recommended to us by two international removal companies which shows their reputation.  The easiest part of our move overseas was transporting the cat!  Lisa allayed my fears and answered all my questions.  She let me know everything we had to do and emailed through the invoice, receipt, MAF certificate etc.  Lisa kept everyone in the loop, including my husband in Dubai and the company collecting our cat at the other end of her journey.  I was very anxious about sending our cat to Dubai but she travelled well and is full of beans.  Thank you Venture Pet!
Cheers
Ruth

GABLE cat to Gisborne, NZ
Hi Bruce, VenturePet did a wonderful job transporting my cat from Upper Hutt to Gisborne. They picked him up from Upper Hutt and looked after him until his flight from Wellington to Gisborne airport. Their price was very reasonable and included the lovely carrier he arrived in. My cat was very calm and well when I picked him up and no tranquiliser had been used. I had been worried about him stressing but there was absolutely no evidence of that at all. The booking and billing process was easy too. I was very happy with VenturePet and would recommend them heartily to anyone who needed to transport their beloved pet.

ZAWADI & ALAKAY cats to Invercargill, NZ
Hi Lisa and the team at Venture Pet, Shane and I would like to thank your team for the great service provided in moving our cats from Johnsonville to Invercargill.  We will be certainly recommending Venture Pet.We were really happy to receive a phone call to say that Zawadi and Alakay were safely on their flight. Also appreciated being notified that there was a delay to the flight.  This took away any undue stress and meant that we were able to prepare for how this delay may have impacted our very much loved members of our family.  This was especially important as their journey didn’t end in Invercargill but included a 2hr drive to Te Anau. Zawadi and Alakay are in great health and are fully relaxed enjoying their new home in Te Anau.  Thanks again for your part in that. All the best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Kind Regards,
Wendy and Shane

SANDIE cat Adelaide, SA, Australia to Stratford, NZ

Dear Bruce, A big Thank you to all of you involved in the transport of Sandie to us here in Stratford.
She arrived in excellent condition, both physically and mentally. In times past, she travelled with her older and wiser companion Rosie, but this was her first big journey on her own. It is a great tribute to your care that she arrived in such a relaxed frame of mind. We have been separated for a year, but she recognised us straight away – cats have great memories for people – and she is so happy to have her pets back again.

Best wishes to all of you

HAPPY FEET emperor penguin

Dear Lisa, Thank you for helping us to transport Happy Feet!
By providing the Zoo with a crate to move him from his temporary home at the Zoo to the ‘Tangaroa’, VenturePet ensured he made the journey safely and in comfort. Happy Feet arrived at the Zoo wearing a battered coat, a hungry belly (only weighing 22kg) and far too much sand and sticks in his stomach. During his stay, he enjoyed fresh salmon every day, 500kg of party ice each day and his own entertainment (in the form of mirrors and mobiles).
He became an instant celebrity, a household name and a NZ icon. We are so pleased that you helped us get him back on his feet and on a boat home!
Thank you again for supporting us, it really does make a difference.

Yours sincerely

Thank you so much for your service and getting him here safely. I cannot thank you enough.
Cheers,

BESSIE labrador & MORGAN cat to Vancouver, BC, Canada
Thank you to Lisa at VenturePet in Wellington and to Tony for regular updates as they made their way up to Canada, it was much appreciated. they’re both in fine fettle. The cat bowled in as though he owned the place (which from his point of view, of course, he does) and then spent the night exploring the house and yowling at the top of his voice – so no one got much sleep! He’s calmed down now and reclaimed his favourite bean bag, so normal service has been resumed… Once the dog was fed, she curled up and went to sleep, quite exhausted – but full of beans this morning. It is lovely to have the family finally all together, even if for 24 hours, as my daughter heads back to NZ tomorrow.
Kind regards
Claire

HIWA black russian terrier pup to Honolulu, Hawaii
Hi Lisa, Thank you very much for your assistance in helping to bring our fur baby to us. We love him. We finally made it through Customs and the Ag Inspection Departments at the airport.  Fairly easy, but so slow.  He was very hungry when he brought him home and he ate almost all of his ¾ cup of Orijen large breed puppy food and drank a lot of water.  He’s so cute and so affectionate and even knows how to fetch…. I’m sure he’ll adjust quickly.

MINKY mini dachshund to Houston, TX, USA
Dear Lisa…   Minky and the rest of us made it safely to Houston.  Now we are in Washington, DC. Everything went smoothly during her pick-up in Houston.  Air General was right there at plane side to collect her upon arrival.  I saw them safely remove her from the plane and whisk her away in a van.  When we went to get her, she was in an air conditioned office with tons of water in her cup.  She was happy and well adjusted.  No issues other than being a little tired.  We all are; long flight and a serious time change. Thanks again for all of your help and making everything very easy.  You are a Godsend!
Best wishes

KIKI collie to Ottawa, ON, Canada
Dear Bruno, Karen, Lisa & your teams, I wanted to email to say a big thank you to you and your teams for getting Kiki safely and unscathed from New Zealand to Ottawa. I know all pet owners will say this, but she is our most precious cargo and we were very worried about her. I felt I wanted to email to say how impressed we were not only with your care of her, but your communication with us, which made a huge difference to the experience. As you can see from her picture she is looking well (and making herself at home I might add) and is learning about her new environment as I am!!  I am sure the service goes way beyond 3 people, and I hope you will feedback to your colleagues how we feel. Thanks again

Dear Lisa, She’s settling in really well (she’s already had her first encounter with a squirrel! Let’s just say the squirrel won….). She’s been given extra vaccinations since she arrived in Gainesville (Florida must have different diseases!), so she’s all protected .Here’s a photo of her on her new cat tree; my husband bought her this tree before he even bought himself cutlery! He also said that she was quite relaxed when he picked her up from the airport, so thank you (and JetPets) for making this trip as painless as possible for Patch. I really appreciate all your patient emails, back and forth and back and forth! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends if they need to move their pets in the future 🙂 Thanks again,

Hi Lisa, Squirrell arrived safely in LAX and he is settling into his new living environment: o) I am happy with Pet Venture services from NZ to LAX. I appreciate your emails and updates also. Thank you very much for doing that. It was a nice personal touch and it helped make me feel at ease. I will make him a large cat sanctuary that he can go in and out of from the house, so he’s not cooped up inside when we go out. We have a back yard and I let him out daily. Once I get him vaccinated for rabies, he will be able to wander around the neighbourhood. I have already seen 3 other cats roaming the hood.
Cheers

KIWI pug cross griffon to Honolulu, Hawaii
Aloha Venture Pet: I wanted to write to express my appreciation for the exceptional care you gave to shipping my puppy from New Zealand to Hawaii.  I highly recommend your company.  Your company went out of the way sending photos of her every stop on the way.  She showed up happy and healthy.  What more could I have asked for.
Your company went beyond and above my expectations!

SASKIA labrador cross to Missoula. MT, USA
Hi Lisa, Thanks for the good communication throughout Saskia’s journey (loved the photos!). The delayed flight into Spokane was quite an inconvenience, but I definitely appreciated the very good communication from Jetpets with both me and my mother (who was the main point of contact since I was also flying!) throughout the day. Saskia had a fine adventure and is happily settling in to her new home. It’s all very new and exciting including a new friend (my sister’s dog) and new creatures (squirrels!) to chase around. Many thanks for the peace of mind knowing she was safe and well cared for throughout her trip.

DOT springer spaniel to Los Angeles, CA, USA
Thanks so much to everyone at VenturePet.  Dottie arrived safe and sound in LA.  The adventure on our end was a little frustrating, but ultimately perfect when Dottie lopped out of her crate, whimpered, wagged and peed. Those folks at cargo are amazingly robotic.  Fortunately, the guys in the warehouse were great, as were the tons of truck drivers awaiting shipments.  They were all kind enough to let us hop the line so we could get Dot into the open air.
Thank you again for all your great help. Take care,
Megan

I wanted to thank you and everyone involved for taking such good care of her.  It really put me at ease to know that she was in good hands.  Thank you for all you do!  It’s so great to have my pup here with me.

Hi Lisa, Just wanted to let you know that fern is doing very well! she looked a bit worried when we picked her up but she soon got over it. It cost us $55 at customs and $31 for the release fee. Thank you so much for the wonderful service and full updates, I really appreciate it, it really helped put my mind at rest. Hopefully, Gus will be following soon, his ear is recovering well so it’s just a matter of time now. I’ll contact you as soon as I know when he can fly to make arrangements.
Thanks again

RUSTY american cocker spaniel to San Francisco, CA, USA
Hi Lisa, RUSTY HAS ARRIVED IN CALIFORNIA!. Rusty was a bit “pacey” last night and wanted to see everyone all together, so there was a lot of patrolling and checking where we both were.  I think that, understandably, she’s a bit clingy at the moment.  However she is a bit better today – just a bit tired and adjusting to the heat.  California in November seems quite a bit hotter than NZ 🙂  So she’s sleeping on the cool tiles in the lounge as I write this. Thank you both for helping get her over to California for us. She’s discovered the squirrels in the apartment complex and they obviously need a bit of barking at, so I think Rusty is already settling in well.   So, once again, thanks for your help and support – it’s really appreciated.
Warm regards
Liz & Jason

DAKOTA west highland white terrier to Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to thank VenturePet and your LAX counterparts for the wonderful care our ‘Westie’ Dakota received on her trip from Wellington to Utah via Los Angeles and Sydney. We were mightily impressed with the service, in particular the updates of where she was at on each leg of the journey and the lovely personal comments by staff and associates regarding her wellbeing.  I would not hesitate to recommend VenturePet to anyone who is thinking about moving countries and is worried about finding someone to care for their pet throughout the process.  You folk could not have made it easier for us or for Dakota who arrived in better condition than us.  She did not suffer Please feel free to use my comments if it helps promote the wonderful service you offer in arranging long distant travel for pets.
Kindest regards

CROMARTY, MASH & MOLLY cats to San Francisco, CA, USA
Hi Lisa, We have ours cats, they looked a bit nervy, but saw me & started shouting, so all good there! Excellent to see them!  just spent nearly 2 hours collecting the cats, heaps of driving hear & there, endless bloody paperwork, mind-numbing American bureaucracy. You folks have been awesome! I remember collecting our 2 boys from Wellington airport in 2007 & it was vastly different indeed. I think the sheer scale of America is part of it. Thanks for all your help & time,
Cheers

SUNDAE cat to San Francisco, CA. USA
Hi Lisa, A quick note to say that Sundae and Scott have arrived safe and well in San Francisco.  Apparently she was super smoochy when she got out of the cage, and only hid under the bed in the apartment for a little while.  Since then she has been sitting on the couch watching the birds- guess she will soon learn that she is now a big city-indoors cat for the next wee while! Thanks for all your super work and communication with the move- really appreciated 🙂
Cheers
Shelley

Hi Lisa, Rupert is now in Seattle safe and sound with us, he is fine has taken a couple of days to settle in but I have bought him a new bed and trying out the dog treats here to find his favourite one. I wanted to say a very big thank you to you and your LA team for being so fantastic in keeping me informed along the way. It meant so much to me as I was really anxious with Rupert travelling. It was lovely to feel like Rupert was being looked after, right down to you giving him his eyedrops – thank you! You made a very stressful time much easier for me.

BUSTER jack russell terrir pup to New York, NY, USA
Hi, we just got home!!  He is in perfect condition and a very happy boy to be out of that cage!  It took us quite a while at customs plus his flight was about half hour late.  But he is eating his dinner right now and my female Jack Russel (Roxy) is sniffing him out.  She is 9 years old so I am thinking she’ll take on a motherly role for him (she had 2 puppies once).
Kindest regards,

MIA & RALPH cats to Vancouver
Hi there Lisa, We arrived here at home in Calgary after 8 hours of driving today and after some food, water and the litter tray…. they are both out to it.  The drive from Vancouver to Calgary is about 1,000 kms one way.  We drove straight through to my Dad’s place just out of Vancouver and it took us about 12 hours on Thursday.  We went through the Rocky Mountains and there was a bit of a winter storm the day we went through. Thanks again Lisa. You have been super fantastic all the way through this extremely daunting process and I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs to ship their precious pets overseas – thanks so very much for everything 🙂 Thanks again to you for getting my babies safely to me. 🙂
Best regards,

Hi Lisa, she is now searching through every room of her new home!  She was very tired and subdued when we got her but she has since perked up and is doing well.  Unfortunately, Air Canada cargo left her paperwork in Toronto and customs here did not want to clear her with the paperwork.  We got it sorted after a bit of a delay.
Thanks so much for taking care of our Snuffles and all the updates too.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for your highly professional handling of my dogs’ travel arrangements.  We knew they were in good and loving hands. All went well and we were happily reunited with our beloved pups.  They’re driving us crazy right now in a four ring circus sort of way, but we’re not complaining.  It makes for a good and happy environment.

You and your company are SO GREAT. We could not have done this without you and your family. THANKS  a million, million times. We arrived and all is great. We are now in a hotel room (yes we had to sneak a few in…don’t think any hotel wants 5 animals). But, we are doing well. All are lying down and relaxing…except for Patrick who is wandering around looking for food. thanks again so much. We get to our house in Mississippi on 19 August and then close on our new house in NY on 27 august.

KEIRA alaskan malamute, MOLLY & SALEM cats to Los Angeles, CA, USA
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that Keira, Molly and Salem arrived safely in Los Angeles this morning, and are now getting use to their new surroundings. Keira was so excited to see Mili and the girls, whereas the cats, being cats, were a little apprehensive. Entirely understandable after what they’d been through but once Mili got them home, they started to explore.It wasn’t too long before they ended up asleep. Possibly suffering from jetlag plus the sudden change of climate. No doubt, they’ll bounce back in the next day or 2. Anyway I want to thank you and Bruce for the wonderful service and taking such great care of our pets. I would definitely recommend your service to anyone moving with pets.
Many thanks and kind regards

Hi Lisa, Punky arrived safe+sound at LAX and I picked her up on Tuesday. Everything went smoothly, U.S customs was a bit fussy as is to be expected.

MIA & SCHATZIE cats to Richmond, VA, USA

Thanks everyone for this difficult transition!  It took a couple of days but they are adjusting very well, they haven’t seemed to want to go outside and are sleeping alot.  Shatze still thinks she’s tiny and comes up on Nancees lap to have her tummy rubbed but doesn’t quite fit anymore.  Mia adjusted the fastest, sleeping under the covers on our bed.
So thanks to all of you they are doing quite well.

OLIVE & PEPPER rottweiler & cat to Vancouver, BC, Canada

Hi Lisa, We are finally back in Edmonton with Olive and Pepper and they arrived very well and happy to see us. They seemed not to have a bother in the world when we picked them up from the airport so thank you so so much for caring for them so well and making sure they were in good hands when you passed them on.  And sorry it took so long to finally organise everything we needed to get them here and thanks for putting up with us over the last six months 🙂
If ever we need to travel with them again (though i hope this was the last time), you will be the first to know.

Thank you so much again!

FRANKIE dachshund to Los Angeles, CA, USA

Hi Lisa, Thank you!  I really do appreciate your help and the wonderful service that you provide.
Frankie did well.  He was very happy to see me.  The process at LA was not too difficult with the good instructions I received.  At the Cargo, they also handed me a map to get to Customs.  It was very nice for the cab driver to have. I hired a cab to get back and forth and asked him to wait at each point.  It was only a USD $55 cab ride. Very inexpensive compared to NZ cab airport rides.  Customs is not normally busy in the morning so it was quick.   Thank you so much for your great service.
Erin

To Whom it may concern
My name is Erin Smith.  I recently moved from New Zealand to the USA.  Venture Pet was my choice for a pet shipper for getting my dachshund Frankie back home with me.  I am so pleased with their service and I highly recommend them to anyone who is making a move with pets.  They are very attentive and take very good care of the pets that are entrusted to their care.  Normally this is a smooth procedure, however, my situation got quite a bit more complex when I found out that my Quantas flight from Auckland to Los Angeles had been cancelled.  This occurred after our flight up from Wellington.  At that point every plan changed and I was concerned about what would be happening to my dog.  It was not until after a long wait in line and a rebooked flight for 3 days later that I was able to contact Venture Pet.  They had already picked up Frankie and he was in their care.  Once they learned what hotel I was being booked into, Venture Pet met me there with my dog.  Again, something occurred that I could not control, this was not a pet friendly hotel.  To Venture Pet this was not a problem.  Their Auckland staff personally took care of Frankie in her home.  After meeting Margaret just once, I knew that this was the best possible scenario.  Margaret also made sure to call me each day to let me know how Frankie was doing.  He was in great hands.  After the 3 days and another flight cancellation, I was able to get Quantas to book me into a “pet friendly” hotel where I was able to keep Frankie.  We could not have been better taken care of.   Their personal service and personal touch was incredible.  We were in constant communication and I was fully informed about Frankie and that his flight would definitely match mine.  They made a difficult situation – an 8 day delay in total – so much easier.

Thank you very much Venture Pet!
Sincerely,
Erin Smith

BRIAN cairn terrier to Toronto, Canada

Oh Lisa! that photo was the best!!!!
We can’t wait! my eight year old is totally beside herself….. we have a whole pile of treats standing by for the little man.
They are dog MAD here in Toronto.!!!!!!! Will send pics – but have seen dogs in back packs , in buggies, their own booster seats in cars….and they had Woofstock here – the bigge doggy event in America.
…..I want Brian to keep his manliness……
It was a very touching reunion – and all at cargo became involved, we had a long wait while an earnest customs official did his best to complicate the paperwork!

GRACIE & ELLA blue heeler cross & beardie cross Wellington to Toronto, ON, Canada

Hi Lisa –  Ella and Gracie arrived ok in Toronto. They seemed a bit tired and confused but otherwise fine and they settled down ok once we got them home and out of the cages. They are now discovering the multitude of strange and unusual creatures of Canada (such as chipmunks, squirrels and raccoons) and it is all very exciting for them.

Thanks for all your help.

MURPHY & TROY labrador cross & cat to Los Angeles, CA, USA

Hi Lisa,  Just letting you know I picked up the boys the other day and they are doing great.  The process at LAX took about an hour but was pretty straight forward.  The Qantas cargo terminal didn’t open until 8 so there was some waiting around for that.  Other than that it was a very easy process.  Troy and Murphy both seemed a bit shaken and tired at first but they were back to their normal selves after a couple hours.  Thanks for all your help.  I will definitely be recommending your services.

Cheers,

Elizabeth

BUSTER & MISSY cats to Edmonton, Canada

Well, they made it!  Safe and Sound!
We arrived at the airport cargo on time and as it would happen so did the plane.  We had to wait until they were transported over with the Agriculture Report then we had to go to customs in the main terminal to wait for the ‘official’ stamp from them and then it was back to the cargo for uplifting of Buster and Missy.
So we got them loaded into our truck, back seat of course.  Still nothing from either of them.  Got them inside and we opened the cage doors.  Well, talking about the Buster Dodge, he was off out of the cage and ready to explore, which he did with great vigour.  They were both very friendly, which surprised us a little, as not seeing them or talking to them for 6 months we were a little worried how they would react.  We are happy to say, they reacted just fine.  This morning as you can see by the photos, things are back to ‘normal’ almost.  We thank you all so very much for making sure our family is reunited and happy again

Warmest Regards
Kath and Berni

ZAC & ONYX cocker spaniel & cat to Indianapolis, IN, USA

Hi Lisa, Just a note to let you know that Zac and Onyx arrived safely.  Zac bounced out of his crate as if nothing had happened, though Onyx was a bit distressed by the journey, and has not quite settled down yet.  He takes a few steps outside but is fazed by the different bird sounds and surroundings. I’m sure he will settle soon.
Thanks so much for all your hard work.

ROCKY & SEVERUS cats to New York, USA

Thanks, Lisa – boys are now with us in beautiful condition and happy to be with us.  The operation took 4 hours return trip – Lufthansa Cargo phoned to ensure we’d be there by 5pm so we left at 4pm and through horrendous traffic got there by 5pm to be told that the plane wouldn’t arrive for another 45 minutes and we had to wait.  The paperwork from the plane didn’t come through until well after 6pm and then it was a 15 minute drive to Customs, the rigmarole there, and 15 minutes back to wait for an attendant to process the payment and to take David’s photo so they’d give the cats to the right person!  Then on to the pick-up place (where they weren’t in the least interested in checking D’s photo) and the 45 minute drive back to Manhattan to arrive home just after 8pm.  There was another woman from New Jersey picking up a cat which had come from Rotorua – she was lucky in that the person she talked to by phone at Lufthansa Cargo told her not to come to the airport until at least 6pm because she shouldn’t turn up until at least 45 minutes after the plane had landed what was quoted for the car service because of the (I’ve gone into this much details so that you can pass on our experience to other clients in the future.)  The boys aren’t interested in eating yet but are drinking gallons of water.  I suspect they don’t like the food I’ve given them as they’re very fussy, but if they feel hungry, they’ll eat!

Thank you again for doing a wonderful job of looking after our boys.
Best,
Adrienne

MAGGIE MAY cat to Boston, MA, USA

Hi Lisa, Maggie May has arrived safe and sound.  I’m completely stunned – she has explored the whole house, played with things and is totally relaxed.  It’s like nothing ever happened!  This would be amazing if we had just moved house within Wellington, let alone all the way to Boston.
I’m not sure if you ever have people emailing you asking for advice, but if any cat-owners ever need reassurance about sending their cat on a flight, I’d be happy to provide it.
Thanks so much to you and Bruce for taking such good care of Maggie.  It was worth every penny!

SAM Labrador to Charleston, SC, USA

Thanks again.

Thanks for making sure his journey was as comfortable as possible. Look forward to his first encounter with snow 🙂

OLLIE cat to Vancouver
And he’s safely here!
Despite him being a total drama queen, complete with hyperventilating, on the drive from the airport to my apartment, once he got here in less than an hour he’d had some food and water and was stretched out having a wee lie down….
Thank you so much for getting him safely to me, he’s really in much better shape than I expected so I’m very happy 🙂

Cheers!

BEZOAR & JUNKO chihuahua crosses to Los Angeles, CA, USA
Lisa, thanks to you the boys are safe! All went well the following day.  Took longer than we expected to go through the American procedure, but that’s US customs for you.
The dogs have been traveling across California.  Every night in a different place. Can’t wait for us to find a place and settle!! They overall have been doing well, but slept non-stop the first 24 hours of arrival.  I can totally relate!

Thanks again,

SCOUT & KOHA Labrador & cat to Raleigh, USA
Thanks Lisa, Glad to hear Scout and Koha arrived in US in good shape!  The whole family was very relieved to hear it.
I am sorry for taking so long to write.  It has been a crazy week, but we are making headway.  Scout and Koha arrived with no problems and their cages were totally clean!  They both looked stiff and a little dazed at first, but were absolutely back to their normal selves by evening.  I was really impressed, considering how far they had come.  They are both well settled now and are getting lots of love and attention.  Thank you for all you effort and coordination.  We could not have done this without you.

Kind Regards,

BONZO labrador cross to Calgary, AB, Canada

Just brought him home 3 minutes ago. No dramas at Calgary at all. I had to pay a total of 81 $Canadian extra for the bonded warehouse and customs clearance.
Bonzo is quite well, very thirsty and hungry. I had taken some bread with me and gave him a full tankard of water. He is also a bit tired, nothing that a good nights sleep won’t set right.
Thanks for all the smooth process Lisa, much appreciate your services. Highly recommed to anyone.
His leash was still with the cage which was good. I have brought back the cage home with me.

Thanks

Thanks Lisa,
We just got home from the airport, the dogs seem tired but are both very happy to see us. Both dogs look to be in good shape and they don’t even smell (the rental car company will appreciate I’m sure). We think you run a well organised professional team. We also appreciate the extra work involved by your LA agent with the snow delays, thanks for taking the time to check what was happening on Friday and for babysitting them over the weekend. Hope you are all ready for the reverse trip in two years.

KODI fox terrier to London, UK
Hi guys,
Thanks so much for the updates on Kodi.
We are BUGGERED but are now set up in a hotel just down the road from the airport (a doggy friendly one). We see all the planes coming in so will look out for Kodi’s tomorrow.
You have been awesome to Kodi (and us) and for that we can never thank you enough. As I said before you have gone above and beyond what we expected.
We’ll be in touch again tomorrow once we have picked her up….
Picked up Kodi just after lunch today… she arrived safe and sound after her very long flights!!!
Think she might have a bit of jet lag and is unsure where we are etc BUT all in all she’s great!!!
Just thought I’d send a few pics that we have taken today.

Hugs to you and your family,

MAYA cat to Los Angeles, CA, USA
Dear Lisa and Bruce,
Just a quick note to let you know that Maya arrived safe and as sound as she ever is. It took about 3 hrs of back and forth to free her from the red tape but everyone was very nice. By the way its now a $US35 fee and they really want cash. No problem for me but might be for others.
She bounced back pretty quickly. Not eating much as yet but it is a lot warmer than she is used to. She is enjoying her treats and is drinking.
She is ready for the next adventure.

Thanks for your help.

JET & SILVER cocker spaniels to Toronto, Canada
Hi Lisa
I picked up Silver and Jet and they were very happy to see me (and I was very happy to see them), and they appeared to suffer no after effects from the flight.  The actual process to pick them up went smoothly and once I got them we went outside to a grassed verge and I gave them breakfast – which they promptly ate.  It’s great to have them back.  Thank you for all your help with the immigration arrangements and the rabies vaccination and testing.

RUBY german shorthaired pointer to San Francisco, USA
Hi Lisa and Bruce
Ruby arrived safe and sound. A big thank you to VenturePet for your help and efficiency. Everyone who was involved in the handling of Ruby at SFO were clearly “dog people”, and they treated Ruby like a princess, albeit a caged one!
She is thoroughly enjoying Minneapolis, has survived her rabies shots, and has her hunting mode fully activated when we go walking in the grasses around the lakes. She has already caught – and eaten – a mouse and a vole! She is very proud of that achievement.
I’m lucky to have such a  happy dog.

MOZART cat to San Francisco, USA
Hi Lisa,
Mozart arrived safely in the US and he was pleased to see the family again, as we were to see him.  I heard him
meowing in the distance before we saw him.  He was full of energy – hard to imagine after such a long flight – I wish I travelled as well.  He was off the plane and at the hangar in about 20 minutes – I think I will travel ‘cargo’ class
next time!  The collection at the airport went very smoothly and thank you for the very clear instructions in this
regard.  The collection fee was in fact $35.
He is home now and having a much needed nap after putting up with the excitement of the kids and each wanting to play with him and show him the cat toys they had waiting for him.
Many thanks for your very efficient service in reuniting a much loved member of the family.
Once again, thank you for an outstanding service.

Kind regards,
Noel

SMOOCH cat to Calgary, Canada
Hi Lisa, Smooch arrived here safely, thank you, and is settling down.  He seems to have weathered his journey well, better than us, in fact!!!  His grandparents are showering him with attention, which he is lapping up.  Just in case you have any other animals come this way, I’ll tell you what happened once we were in Canada.  When we went to pick him up in Calgary we were sent to Canada Customs for processing of the forms about a 10 minute drive away from the cargo hanger.  Once there we were told that a Customs officer had to sight Smooch before the form could be processed…so we waited for about 30 minutes before we paid $31.50 and had the form stamped.  We then went back to the Air Canada cargo hanger and paid another fee, about $36.00, to Air Canada.  So after about an hour and a half we finally got Smooch.  I thought you might like to know the process so you can forewarn others in the future.
Thanks again,

SASHA cat to San Francisco, USA
Hi Lisa,
Sasha is here with us now, and nicely recovered.  We had a fast pickup at SFO, very easy.  She immediately set to exploring our new rental home, was a bit loud throughout this, and then when we returned from errands she seemed happy and fine as usual.   She even seems still fond of her cage — later in the evening when we began to clean it, we had a hard time keeping her out of it!?  We think she might have to sleep in it tonight, to keep the comfort of the habit.
Thanks so much for your help.  We’re much relieved that Sasha is happy, healthy, and forgiving!
Cheers

SEBASTIAN labrador dog to Los Angeles, USA
Hi Lisa,
A quick email to say that Sebastian’s trip to Los Angeles went off
without a hitch.  Sebastian travelled amazingly well.  From his
perspective, it must have been just a big, fun adventure.  He was very
content and relaxed when we picked him up at the Qantas cargo office.

Thanks very much to you and everyone at Venture Pet.

Thanks Lisa. I am in Guam for such a small place-the amount of paperwork seems over to top. They are staying at Michelle’s home tonight and sleeping under the beds. But they are alive and seem to be ready to explore. It worked out. The customs was simple. So we all did all the right things. It was about 5 minutes!
Again thanks for all your help.

Hi Lisa, thank you very much for everything, we’re just driving back from Koronivia now, it’s been a long day! Griff was apprehensive at first at the quarantine facility, naturally, but looked like he’ll settle in in no time at all. He looked in fine condition at biosecurity, though he was quite frightened in the new environment. You’ve been really great and we appreciate all your efforts. Thanks again very much!
Kind regards,

MALI & TUI french bulldogs to Nadi, FIji
Bula to you both! Very happy to report that Tui & Mali are safe here in Fiji and doing great!!
I don’t want to lie…the trip to the quarantine facility was the hardest part.  It is a 3 hour drive on a bumpy, curvy road and the babies had really had enough!  I was with them lying down in the back of the van the whole way trying to comfort them.  The good news…once we were there they forgot the whole ordeal.  There is a lovely large yard at the facility and they immediately forgot the trauma. Everyone just loves them and the staff at the station is very kind and loving.  The kennel facility is large, very clean and comfortable.  It has a fuzzy bed for them and they get to stay together  🙂  They are doing really well!  I spent a few hours with them at the quarantine facility and they played like crazy!  The staff here is very kind and they are quite smitten with them, so I feel confident that they are in good care.  The facility has a large field and they love to romp around in it…it’s great! They are eating with excellent appetites and very playful.  I am so happy!  I can’t wait to get them home to the island!!  Thank you both for everything! Our preparations were not in vain, and everything went off without a hitch.
Vinaka Vakalevu, with love and gratitude

JACK border collie cross to Noumea, New Caledonia
Hi Lisa and Bruce, Jack has arrived at our new home, a little freaked out but healthy and in good spirits, generally just happy to be with us. The quarantine facility in Noumea is good. It’s clean and there is an exercise area for the dogs. We picked up an info pack which Hamish will send to you when he gets back to NZ. So you can show anyone else heading this way what their pet is in for. Thanks again for caring for Jack.

MOLLIE mastiff cross to Nadi, Fiji
Hi Lisa and Bruce, Just to thank you very much for ensuring Mollie got here to Fiji. She is doing ok by now – and settling into the immense heat, 32 degs and 90% humidity… just as we all are. She was very unsettled first few days out of quarantine, and apparently seldom came out of her airy pen at Koronivia. The pens were big and clean when we were there, just so you can tell anyone else in future.  its 9 miles North of Suva city on a breezy hill – great for animalls adjusting to heat of tropics, what a mercy.  Thanks for everything. I know I was stressed thru that time and my sincere apologies for that. I’ve learnt alot thru it all.
I will certainly come back to you if ever needed again bringing Mollie back to NZ.
Kindest regards,
Jean Hatch

ASHA border collie to Apia, Samoa
Lisa, Just letting you know that Asha arrived on time and in good health. Thanks for all your help in getting her here. A couple of points came up when collecting her that may be of interest to anyone else shipping pets to Samoa. We had no trouble with the Biosecurity inspection, and paid the $12.90 Tala certificate fee. However, Customs advised that duty was payable on imported livestock (including pets), and was calculated based on the age of the animal. They were still trying to work out the correct amount when someone remembered that, as a diplomatic household we were exempt from duty. Worth noting for future shipments. There was also a cargo handling charge the local Air NZ guys hit us up for – about $50.
Thanks again for all your help

But they have settled in well to the heat.

SKYE cat to Honiara, Solomon Islands
hi there
Thanks Lisa, just wanted to let you know Skye arrived safe and well yesterday.  No probs picking her up at airport.  She was a bit subdued but very happy to see us and is increasingly comfortable and her old self, she’s eating and drinking well.
Skye seems fully restored, starting the morning by pouncing on my feet in bed then setting about reducing the gecko population inside the house.  We have a bell for her which should help reduce the amount of birdlife she is able to catch, but I fear the reptiles are in for a hard time.  It’s a good thing there is a veritable plague of them!
Thanks again for all your help

Cheers

TAXI & BELLA labrador cross kelpie to Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Hi there – just to let you know Taxi and Bella arrived safely and in great shape this morning. The transition thru MAF/Customs and Air NZ went really smoothly and they were clear for me to pick up by 3.15 am our time. They were very pleased to get out of their cages and spend the rest of the night sleeping inside with me under the air conditioning. This morning they have been out on the deck and exploring their new front lawn looking longingly at the beach. Have attached a photo for you to see them at the front fence which goes down to the lagoon.
Many many thanks for your help and your care of them – it is always stressful moving animals around but I knew they were in great hands and that you had everything covered. And it was nice to know they were in good hands whilst delayed a day.

Look us up if you ever coming over here for a holiday – we easy to find via the NZ High Comm!

ZEUS rottweiler to Sao Paulo, Brazil

Hi Lisa, Zeus arrived yesterday, looking very happy and healthy. The paper work was very tedious and time consuming, but it was all good after all. It took me about 3 hours to complete the process and to get him out.
I just want to say thank you so much for all your help with this process. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
We are now settled at a place called Penha. It’s a beautiful beach on the south east coast of Brazil.Zeus went to the pet shop yesterday for a nice bath, but he managed to get himself all dirty again after a few hours later playing on the beach, which is great. I hope all is well.
Take care and chat soon

MEL cat to Sao Paulo, Brazil

Hi Lisa,
Mel is feeling great; she’s really cheerful and adapting quickly to her new home. Only problem is that I’ve got four dogs and we still haven’t introduced them properly. Every time Mel looks at my dogs she doesn’t get too happy at all, but that’s normal, soon they will all be fine and friends.
Mel arrived in Sao Paulo close to midnight and we only left the airport at 3am. Considering that it was a public holiday in Brazil and late night, we were actually quite lucky to get out of the airport with her on the same day. My dad had a guy in ABSA who helped us quite a bit. Due to Mel´s late arrival, he had to talk to Customs and MAF and hold them to clear Mel. They are supposed to be 24/7, in case any kind of live cargo arrives. But they leave around 10pm and you have to tell them before if you have something arriving late, so they wait for you.
When Mel arrived in GRU, ABSA guy was already close to the plane with te MAF vet, he was holding all the information and papers of Mel, they got the originals in the box, the vet took a look at her to make sure she was fine, signed documents and she was cleared. Then, me and ABSA guy had to go to Customs and I was interviewed by Customs Inspector. He asked me why I was bringing her over, if I bought her in NZ, why I was coming home, etc. They want to know if you are not bringing animals to sell. As Mel is only my pet, ‘for personal use’ I didn’t have to pay anything. Otherwise I would have to pay taxes.
After that I just had to pay a small amount (I think it was around 12 reais, sort of nz $10) for Infraero, Brazilian airports administrations and then I was able to get her from the Cargo warehouse. Took us 3 hours for that! And it was sort of quick.
I know we had to pay ABSA as well, I believe it wasn’t too expensive. They were really helpful and I think if they weren’t helping us we would have to wait for the next day to get her.
Thank you so much for everything! You guys were great as well!
Cheers,
Larissa

HEIDI border collie cross to Santiago, Chile
Hi Lisa
Many, many thanks (and woof from Heidi) – you guys did a great job. By the
time all the paperwork was done and we’d had lunch (the workers here stop
for lunch every day), Heidi was ready for pick up.
She is sticking pretty close – surprise! – but has explored the house and
the extensive grounds and met the resident Lab. So far so good. Pretty
sure she’ll like it here and the staff think she’s pretty neat, too.
Thanks again – and we may see you in four years when we come back!

CUSTARD labradoodle to London, UK
We can’t commend the service from Venture Pet enough! Throughout the process – even with lots of documents to fill out and check ups to organise – Lisa made it extremely clear exactly what we should do and when, ensuring there were no hiccups with our dog’s journey from Wellington to London.  Once in the hands of Venture Pet, we received so many reassurances and kind updates from Lisa, who checked in on Custard’s progress throughout his journey and showed genuine kindness and care for our pet. In what could be a stressful, upsetting process, we were able to feel at ease about Custard’s long journey, and confident that everything would go smoothly at Heathrow thanks to Lisa’s thoroughness and efficiency. It’s very clear that Venture Pet go above and beyond and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anybody who has to organise pet transfer. Thank you again for everything – you’ve been fantastic! Best wishes,
Hollie

BENSON labrador to Dublin, Ireland
Hi Lisa, Benson arrived safe and sound in Dublin none the worse for wear. ? Initially super excited and then crashed in the car. Seemed a bit subdued but in all honesty I think he was just super tired. Long trip full of unknowns will do that to you I guess. Once home he promptly rolled in god knows what in the garden, undoing the lovely grooming/bath he had at the vets ?.  He had some food and a super long drink and is right as rain now. 🙂 Thanks so much for your help, info and updates along the way of this process. We really appreciated it. Picture below of Benson crashed out and chilled out. ? It’s great to have him home with us now.
Regards and many thanks again,
Brylie, Brad and Benson.

SAOIRSE & OISIN bichons to Dublin, Ireland
HI Lisa, Thanks for all your help. Oisin & Saoirse arrived safely and are peacefully sleeping away by my side – just like old times. They were a little disoriented at first but soon realised that it was me & all was ok after that. Tired but happy to see a familiar welcoming them back, Now they have the jet lag, they’re waking me to go to the loo at 3am! Lol. All being Alison will be with us by the time the sun goes down here and we will all be back together, Again, a big thanks to you, the staff at the Lissenhall Vets and the Dubai venue for taking really good care of these two. So happy to see them again 🙂 Thanks a million

Hi Lisa, Thanks so much for all the updates. We picked Ted up at around 3pm. He was very excited to see us but seems to have taken it all in his stride. He was still lovely and clean. Thanks for all your help. The service you have provided has been fantastic and we really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

LOUIE wirehaired fox terrier to London, UK
Hi Lisa, I waited 4 hours for Louie but that was ok and it was nice to sit and observe all the animals being reunited with their owners, very moving as I had tears in my eyes as they did.  When Louie came out he was more interested in heading for the grass outside rather than slobbering over me.  Never mind, he’s in great shape. The staff at LHR spoke very highly of you Lisa and I would just like to thank you again for making the whole experience easier for me.   I shall certainly recommend VENTUREPet if any of my friends wish to fly their pets.  With renewed thanks Lisa and all the best from me and Louie.
Regards
Jean


22 October 2018
MAX cavoodle to London, UK
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that our precious pup Max arrived safe and sound.  He was in amazingly great shape and bursting with energy.  We ended up taking him to Westonbirt Arboretum for a super long walk after picking him up so he could burn off energy.  He seems to love England.  Tonight we are going to meet the family for a pub dinner and Max is allowed to come too, which is so lovely! Thank you so much for the great job you did.  You have our most sincere appreciation.
Kind regards
Rebecca

KIA cat to London, UK
Hello Lisa, Thank you for your follow up. You made us feel less worried about her. She got pretty well at Heathrow, and it took around 5 minutes to take her from the animal place. She was scared, but recognized me as soon as she saw me.  She’s doing great now. Thank you for everything and we will definitely recommend your services.
Kind Regards,
Renata, Scott & Kia

REUBEN cat to Glasgow, Scotland
Hi Lisa, It’s been quite an adventure settling into life in the UK again. I just wanted to thank you and venture pet for everything you did in the process of relocating wee Reuben from NZ to Scotland. We felt so reassured and loved our updates of his transit, especially seeing as we were on route at the same time! We (think we) even managed to see him getting taken off the plane as our plane arrived and parked up in Dubai. As Reuben was a rescue kitty and had quite a rough start to life, we were really concerned how he would take to the big move and the stress it might have caused him. You put our worries to rest and from all the updates it was like he was treated like royalty. I’m sure he got more sleep than we did. Reuben has settled in well and whilst a little jittery at first he has conquered his new Scottish house and is back to his smoochy kitty self. It was a pleasure to deal with you and venture pet and we would highly recommend you. We can’t thank you enough!
All the best,
Sarah, Nathan and wee Reuben.

FALLYN cat to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Thanks again for all your work getting Fallyn safely to the UK. He is settling in pretty well, considering his anxious nature, brand new surroundings and the very hot weather they are having over there. A bit of meowing and not eating as much as normal, but overall really good! He’s enjoying spending time with Kev and I can’t wait to be over there with them 🙂 I’ve attached a couple of photos of him in his new home 🙂
Thanks,

LOUIE pug to London Heathrow, UK
Hi Lisa, we’re all having a fabulous time and settling in well! I don’t start my job until next week so Louie has been getting lots of walks and outings which he is loving. I posted a link to Louie’s instagram to the NZ Pugs page yesterday as I thought some of the members may be interested in his travels, and people were quite shocked that he had successfully flown so far! A couple of people were asking how and if I had a contact, so I said we used Venturepet and that you were amazing to work with. Alison was one of them – hopefully things are still the same when they are ready to come home to the UK! I’ve given Louie a big hug for you 🙂

TEDDY & LIZZIE cats to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Yet another thank you so very much for the great service you gave to us and Teddy & Lizzie last week. We loved your extra touch of sending us the photos of them after we’d dropped them off- as you’d know it’s a very stressful time for fur baby parents. Whilst the ordeal has been extremely traumatic for them, they are gradually adjusting, and I think the novelty of having stairs to play on will remain for some time.
Thanks once more
Claire, Phil, Teddy & Lizzie


18 May 2017

Hi Lisa, Just to let you know that Molly & Nelson had a good flight, no problems at all. They were very quiet when I picked them up but friendly.

Off to local cattery tomorrow, then finally to our new house in early Sept.

Hi Lisa, The fur babies have arrived safe and sound. They are in great shape and seem none the worse for their big adventure. Pick up went just as described and the folk at Heathrow ARC were lovely. It was such a relief to see them again after 53 days; we had quite an emotional family reunion. Thank you for everything. It was really stress free and probably the one thing in this move that I was most worried about. The advice and instruction from you was just great and made all the difference. Thanks once again for the terrific service.
Cheers

ELVIS staffy cross to Manchester, UK
Hi Lisa, Finally we have got organised over in the UK and want to thank you for making the move to the UK so easy. Elvis was really happy to see us when we collected him from Manchester. He didn’t seem fazed by the long journey at all and was really happy to play in the garden at my parent’s house. I have attached a picture of Elvis in the garden the day he arrived and another of him having a tummy rub by my dad.
We really appreciated the update of Elvis’s travel and was something we hadn’t expected and so it was a lovely surprise to be informed of his whereabouts. The photo you sent us of Elvis getting ready for his flight made the kids really happy especially as we were on the same plane and the kids could imagine and make up stories of what he was up to. We will absolutely be recommending Venture Pets to people we know transporting pets overseas. We were very impressed by the service we received. Once again thanks

GEORGIA labrador to Manchester, UK
Good afternoon Lisa, just wanted to thank you for taking extra special care of Georgia for us. The flight especially with our one year old for 36 hours was horrendous to say the least bit knowing Georgia was safe was one less worry. The turnaround time in Manchester was hassle free and Georgia is loving her new home here in the UK. Thank you once again for your outstanding service and I will be more than happy to highly recommend/endorse yourself and your company. Thanks again Lisa
Kindest regards

Wayne is presently spending his first night in London a very happy chappy. Thank you for your great service and working around our numerous changing requirements. We would recommend VenturePet unreservedly to anyone wishing to relocate their pet. Thank you also for the updates on his flight status.

ARTY huntaway cross, TEDDY dachshund, CRYSTAL & TORA cats to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Arty, Teddy, Crystal and Tora arrived in fine fetish!  All very well indeed, took a couple of days for the girls to settle properly and they preferred the top of the wardrobe for their recovery but were back to business as usual, in fact Tora has gone walk about at the farm we are staying at!!  Arty and Teddy totally hit the ground running, they were delighted to see us (and we them) and they have settled into life here in the U.K really well.  I cannot tell you how pleased we were with your updates and photos and the care that everyone gave them (it was really lovely to see the photos of the morning before they left!)  Thank you so much!!
Kind Regards

ZIGGY beagel & SPONGEBOB cat to Isle of Man, UK
hi Lisa, Picked up Ziggy and Spongebob on from Heathrow JCS. Despite my worries, they were absolutely fine, as you said they would be. Travelled up to Liverpool as the ferry we were booked on was cancelled and had a good sailing across to the Isle of Man. We are now with the grandparents temporarily and they are settled in well. Sponge is a bit shell-shocked by all the change but when he gets outside he will be better. Thank you so much for all your help! I wondered whether it was the right thing to do to take them, and it certainly has been. I appreciate the excellent service, communication and help. You were recommended to us by several moving companies and I heartily endorse the recommendation.
All the best,
Sharon, David, Sian and Matthew Lewin
Spongebob and Ziggy


27 April 2015
RILEY cat to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Riley did very well on his flight and has been settling very well in the UK.  He is an indoor cat but we took him for a walk (harness and lead) to meet a couple of our neighbours today and he did well with that.  He has been enjoying his new views and the variety of birds that come to the garden, wood pigeons appear to be his favourite right now but he gets a little bit freaked out when they fly.  We had a low flying buzzard come to the garden this morning but Riley being Riley missed that, and he also missed the two muntjac deer that came to the garden a few nights ago.  Hopefully he’ll get another chance soon. Thank you once again for walking us through getting Riley to the other side of the world.  He still has a few things to get used to but we think he’s a lot happier than he was.  Once we get the camera sorted we’ll send you a new pic of him.
Kind regards
Andrew and Alex


23 April 2015
MAIKI cat to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Maiki is now, finally, in her new home in South Wales – we got here at about 9pm so there was a lot of waiting around this afternoon….
She looks great – she certainly wasn’t happy in the cage though by the time I picked her up so she travelled home on the front seat of the car – she was very well behaved! I’ve so far got just the one blurry photo of her as she was tucking into her food – she is now curled up under the bed so I’ll take some more photos later. Many thanks again for all you have done for the 3 of us (Bex, Maiki & me) to make this process as seamless as possible – you possess that perfect mix of kindness and professionalism. I would have no hesitation in using your services again and in recommending you to anyone.
With very best regards
Sue


12 April 2015
RILEY cat to London, UK
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your hard work.  You’ve been fantastic in accommodating us and giving us all the information we need and keeping us up to date with everything, even when we kept changing our minds.  I know my wife is rather anxious about our little Riley going on a plane but you have helped so much with your quick responses and professionalism that I know she’s a lot calmer than she could be about it. Thanks Lisa
Kind regards
Andrew

MURPHY cat, JONESIE & CHARLIE cocker spaniels to Dublin, Ireland
Moving house wears you out and can be a stressful enough experience just moving within the same country. But throw in a move half way around the world from NZ to Ireland with our two dogs and cat, and the stress levels can go through the roof! Our furry friends are extremely important to us, so it’s fair to say that we didn’t want to settle for just any animal transport company to get them from NZ to Ireland – we wanted the best. After lots of research, we decided to go with VenturePet. Straight off we knew we’d chosen the right people to look after Charlie, Jonesie and Murphy. Lisa was fantastic at reassuring us, and quickly dispelled any fears we had about how the pets would cope during the long journey. Every step of the process, from vet visits to MPI export and Irish import requirements, was clearly explained.
VenturePet collected the furbies on the morning of their flight and kept us updated on their progress across the world. They even sent us a photo of them all patiently waiting to ‘board’ their flight at Wellington airport! We definitely felt that they were getting the royal treatment.
Would we recommend VenturePet? You bet we would!!! In fact we would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa and everyone at VenturePet to whoever asks. Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of our furbies!
Dee Millar & Leighton Jones
Charlie, Jonesie (our Cocker Spaniels) & Murphy (our Cat)

TIMBOB & TESSIE TIGER cats to London, UK
Hi all, I’ve had my lovely kitties back with me for a week now; they’ve settled well, and so I wanted to write to you all to thank you for the part you played in their safe arrival in the UK. I was concerned that they would not recognise me and/or be extremely distressed, but they did, and they weren’t! It was clear they had been really well cared for during January and during their trip. Both were in good spirits and had been bathed and groomed before they were handed over to me – and the chap who did so told me that they had enjoyed the attention and been responsive to pets by the staff in the Animal Reception Centre. Now they have settled in, they are starting to look outdoors and get keen to chase some new smells (and undoubtedly some new critters) there. Here’s Tessie on the bedroom window sill watching a squirrel for the first time, Thank you all again – you made a very stressful time for me much, much easier, and I will happily place glowing reviews wherever they are most visible! Tim Bob is tucked under my arm as I write this and he just mewed, so he must agree.

Hi Lisa, Just a quick note to let you know Murphy, Charlie and Jonesie arrived safely today. Dogs were quite stressed when we collected them from Lissenhall and very soiled from their pee – presume that’s usual? Cat was the same but very moochy!

Thank you so much for helping to get them here safely 🙂

RASTA labrador to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Thank you for all your updates en route to Heathrow. Rasta and I home and well, he appears to love sliding thro the mud and racing thro ditches!, I loved our walk just now with the soft light and autumn colours and fallen leaves to kick through. Got 3 seats to myself from Du Bai to London so arrived fresh as a daisy!! Bit turbulent but Rasta seemed un phased and I was able to check that he was ok with ground staff at every stop off! Good boy didn’t mess the crate either except for a bit of piddle!! He was ready for pick up 4hours post landing. The animal reception area was quite easy to find too,we just followed signs to. Cargo and then spotted the centre. Anyway, thank you so much for making it such a stressfree process. You do a fabulous job.
All the best,
Kara and Rasta

NIBSY cat to Edinburgh, Scotland
Thought you might like to know how Nibsy is getting on after his big trip up to Edinburgh. He arrived mid afternoon on Friday and was fairly happy straight away and even interested in food. We let him outside while we were around over the weekend and he was fine. He did a bit of exploring and then wandered back to see us. He certainly seems to know who we are and is being quite affectionate – must be the jet lag! It therefore seems that the transfer has been a resounding success, so thank you all again for your help.

MILLY wheaten terrier to London, UK
Hi Lisa, Milly arrived at Mum’s safe and sound wagging her tail, and was there to greet us when we arrived.  Milly is LOVING England (probably more than the rest of the


family as we had all forgotten just how cold and miserable the Winter is here!) she loves smelling all the foxes and badgers and has developed a pheasant chasing obsession, now we have about 6 inches of snow and she loves playing in the snow and rolls and rolls in it so I had to give her a hot bath to get rid of all the ice and snow in her fur!  Am sending you some photos so you can see, she really is a remarkably well adjusted dog!  Thanks for your help with the journey,
best wishes

BRINDY greyhound cross to London, UK
Hi Lisa,We finally got Brindy at about 1.30 in the end – her flight was delayed by about an hour and forty minutes.  Added to the fact it was an extemely busy day, it took a while for them to process her.  She’s fine, although I think she is feeling a little disorientated not being in a familiar environment, but I’m sure she’ll acclimatise soon enough. Thanks very much for all your work in getting Brindy’s passage sorted out.  Have attached a couple of photos of Brindy out in the autumn sunshine where we are staying. She is fine. I want to thank you so much for all you did to arrange for her flight here. Thank for being so kind to me when I was so upset and worried about sending her, I did warn you what I would be like! I was so happy to get her here but I had every confidence in you to make it happen.  If you ever want to give my e-mail to anyone looking to use your services and needing reassurance please let me know, I will be more than happy to do it. Thank you again for everything you did for us all.
Best wishes

ALFIE griffon to London, UK

Hi lisa, Alfie has arrived safe and well. He was over the moon to see me and made all the waiting reception laugh because he was so excited he scampered around all over me. Thanks do much for all your help and care of him and to everyone else who handles him too. Just wanted to let you know that Alfie is doing absolutely fantastic here in England. He was absolutely fine and healthy, and very very happy to see me he jumped all over me and made the whole of reception laugh. It was 5 hours till I could get him but there was only a little bit of wee in him when I picked him up. He smelt terrible like an old hamster cage! Thanks so much for all your care of him of him and to everyone else who took care of him over his long journey. I just can’t believe how well he has settled in and how healthy he is.
Thanks again for all your hard work to post him over, you can rest safe in the knowledge that he is safe and well.
All the best with all your future passengers…bet you never get another one like Alfie!

THOMAS & HONEY cats to London, UK
Hi Lisa. Thomas and Honey are both in the UK in good health. Nick picked them up at noon from Heathrow, as they had to wait forever for DEFRA to get to them-It was wickedly busy at the animal intake centre!
While they were waiting, JCS did a great job giving them a nice big run, food, water and the all important litter box!
Honey has sniffed the apartment from end to end multiple times in London and Thomas is very relaxed.
I am so grateful for your excellent service. Please let me know if I can support you by being a reference.
Thanks again,

FUDGE, VELV.E.TEEN & KILLER staffordshire bull terrier & devon rex cats to Dublin, Republic of Ierland

Dear Lisa and everyone else at VenturePet, Velv.E.Teen, Killer and Fudge are safely and happily at their new home in Galway, Ireland….. We picked them up last night and the three of them were quite understandably exhausted, but the cats still managed to purr all the way home (great effort for a three hour drive) and Fudges tail managed to wag up a storm.  Beth and I were both so nervous as to how they would all travel but they have come through their trip amazingly, Fudge was given her medication when she arrived and before she left England and the crew at Servisair in the cargo department were really good and kept them all in a nice warm area whilst the necessary paperwork was done, spoiling them with pats. Beth and I would very much recommend VenturePet to anybody looking to travel, you do a superb job and make things so much easier for those awaiting the arrival of their loved ones on the other side of the world. From all of us here, many, many thanks again, Our family is all back together and happy as can be.

Sincerest Thanks,
Charlotte, Beth, Velv.E.Teen, Killer and Fudge x

Thanks so much for helping get him over to us.  We are very pleased to have him here.

Hi Lisa, Freddy is very very happy to be back with us in ireland and is sleeping like a baby by the fire at the moment. He is also sporting the latest thermal dog coat as its bloody freezing here at the moment,will have to invest in a new jacket myself now!! He got here no problem on his flight unlike myself who took almost 3 days thanks to a pilot being sick and technical difficulties with a plane,never ever fly ethiad airways! I should have travelled with him in his box it would have been quicker and more comfortable. Best of luck for your business in the future I’m sure you will go from strength to strength.

POPPY cocker spaniel to London, UK

Hi Lisa and Bruce
Poppy arrived 5 minutes before we did at our London address – and we were amazed how happy and chilled she was when we first saw her. We were absolutely stoked and credit alot of that to your wonderful handling of her from Wellington to London. Given her timid and sometimes anxious nature we were really worried about how the travel might affect her but it seems all of our worries were in vain. We were also suprised to find that all of the bedding and toys she had in her crate arrived at our new home with her too. Other than being rather hungry and quite thirsty she hasn’t seemed to be bothered at all by the trip. Our reunion was a pretty happy one and her and our 16 month old have barely been separated since. Looks like Poppy is also going to be a big hit with the local kids too – of which we have already had a visit to meet “their” new local dog!
Once again thank you for such wonderful support and service. If we travel with her again, you will be our first port of call and we will recommend you to anyone else we know that is travelling with a pet.

Kind regards
Poppy, Amelia, Becs and Shay

Hi Lisa, Collected Jack and Thomas from Heathrow this morning.. timed it just right and only had a 10 minute wait for them. They were understandably looking a little subdued initially but made their voices heard.. loud and clear for most of the 2 hour journey back to Colchester!
They don’t appear to be too phased by their new surroundings here at home either and are settling in well.
Thanks so much for all your care and your very efficient , professional and supportive service! I felt very happy that my ‘boys’ were well cared for from departure in NP from Dads until collection in London today.  I shall definitely be recommending you!
Thanks again.. its lovely to have them back here safe and sound! Description: Smile pet travel testimonials - clip image001 0002 - Testimonials

MOLLY, ALFIE & TWINKLE kelpie cross, cross dog & cat to London, UK

Hi Lisa, my two dogs and Twinkle the cat have all been safely delivered to our home in West Sussex from Heathrow. The weather appeared to conspire against us however as it started to snow heavily about half an hour before their departure from Heathrow was due to occur. The dogs padded about in the snow tonight on their first English walk, wondering what this crispy cold stuff under their feet was. They spotted their first foxes and wait till they see a squirrel ! Squirrels are always way to fast up a tree for a dog, but it keeps the dogs entranced.
Thanks again for your floorless service. I would be more than happy to recommend you to any off my friends who may contemplate a similar move.

Kind regards

SUMO & RUBY griffons to London, UK

Hi Lisa
We have had a lovely weekend getting Ruby and Sumo settled in.
We collected them from the animal reception centre at Heathrow no problems at all on Friday and they were both very excited to see us.  Upon arrival at their new home, they had a thorough good sniff around and were introduced to their new kennel.
Both are extremely relaxed and happy – tomorrow will be the test as it will be the first day at home by themselves, but we have some big bones to keep them occupied.
Thank you very much for all the great care of Sumo and Ruby and the updates on their travels.
We are so pleased with the result and found the whole process really easy.
We have some friends moving over to England in 2012 with their cats, so we will definitely pass on your details to them.

POPPY cat to London, UK

Hi Lisa I picked Poppy up from Heathrow yesterday….a slight delay in paperwork, but generally smooth! Poppy was bright and seemed pleased to see me. Do cats get jet lag? Because she seems totally unaffected! She is settling in to her new home well and is desperate to get out and explore the garden and wildlife! Thanks for your assistance and care for Poppy, and for keeping me informed through out the process and flight!

All the best

STORM weimaraner to London, UK
Lisa + Bruce
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your time, trouble and effort in getting Storm to the UK. You probably guessed I was worried due to his recent big operation but I had full confidence in you with him.
He arrived full of beans. After a few days in his new home he is looking good and is very happy. We were very lucky that he flew when he did as you have probably heard that all flights into the UK have been stopped due to the volcanic dust from Iceland, and as yet they are not sure when any planes will be allowed to land or take-off. Many thanks once again, it was really appreciated.

Regards Karen

MAC, ROSIE & ALFIE jack russell cross, west highland terrier & cat to London, UK
Thank you so much Lisa. I missing them an awful lot, but I’m delighted they are settled and the whole process is starting for them. We are so grateful to you for a fantastic service, it has made it so much easier and less upsetting. We will definitely email you when we are in the UK.
Have a lovely day,
Adel

Have been in contact with the owners by phone…they all arrived here safe and well. Rosie is very well. She was a little down on arrival, but no surprise after being so long without her insulin. We are still fine tuning the insulin routine so that she can be on just one jab per day. That will be better for Rosie and the owners expenses.
Best regards

LUCY & OSCAR cats to London, UK
Hi Lisa and Bruce
Thank you for everything, just a quick note to let you know that Oscar and Lucy have arrived safe and sound.  Grant went to collect them from Heathrow this afternoon and they are now at home.  I have had several phone calls this afternoon so that I can hear them purr, and Grant said that they have been investigating the flat and have covered nearly every square inch already!  Oscar went straight from his travel cage to his bed, and Lucy straight for her food bowl – this is their usual behavior, so clearly they are no worse for wear after all their travels. Thank you again for all your help, and taking such good care of our fur babies.

Kind regards
Rachel and Grant

KODI fox terrier to London, UK
Hi guys,
Thanks so much for the updates on Kodi.
We are BUGGERED but are now set up in a hotel just down the road from the airport (a doggy friendly one). We see all the planes coming in so will look out for Kodi’s tomorrow.
You have been awesome to Kodi (and us) and for that we can never thank you enough. As I said before you have gone above and beyond what we expected.
We’ll be in touch again tomorrow once we have picked her up….
Picked up Kodi just after lunch today… she arrived safe and sound after her very long flights!!!
Think she might have a bit of jet lag and is unsure where we are etc BUT all in all she’s great!!!
Just thought I’d send a few pics that we have taken today.

Hugs to you and your family,

Carmen, Sandra and Kodi

OLLIE & TRINNY cat & staffy to London, UK
Dear Bruce and Lisa,
Ollie and Trinny’s travels were hassle and stress free.  I felt very happy during the whole process because you kept us so well informed about their progress and whereabouts.  Ollie has relocated country before, with another company, and I felt nervous during the entire journey for him because we were not kept up to date with how things were progressing.  This time around it was reassuring being informed of their wellbeing, knowing that they had passed the vet’s and paper checks and being kept up to speed with their latest destinations on their very long journey to London.

They both looked great when we picked them up, Trinny wanted to say hello everyone and Ollie was really pleased to have a cuddle all the way home in the car.  I was worried about how Ollie would be as he is 15 years old in December, but I needn’t have because he looks great.  Something funny is that we have noticed that Trinny is suffering from jet lag!

Thank you for your wonderful service.
The Zamick family.

MOUSEY cat to London, UK
Hi Lisa!
Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that Mousey has survived her long journey to London and is very happily settling in to her new home!  We were really pleasantly surprised at how well she has coped.
Thanks so much for all your help in getting her over and for looking after her so well – we are extremely happy to have our family safely together on the other side of the world!

Regards,

Olivia

Thanks Lisa, Rex has arrived – all safe and seemingly quite proud of his little adventure

TUG & TALLIS labrador & springer  spaniel to London, UK
Hi Lisa and Bruce,
Just wanted to let you know the boys arrived 10mins early and we picked them up about 11am, all good, they are so remarkably resilient and have now had swim, walks, food and zonked out on 3 hour drive home, Tallis had unfortunate experience of needing a bath – not due to the travel but because he rolled in fox poo on his first walk!! Typical. So thank you for all that you did and keeping me calm, the new pet reception centre at heathrow is much better and whilst I wouldnt want to do it again I would certainly recommend your services to others.

Many thanks

Sarah, Tug and Tallis

PEPPER chihuahua to London, UK
Hi Lisa
Pepper the long haired Chihuahua arrived at Heathrow, fit and well and raring to go in his new country. He has settled  well in West Cumbria loving walks on the beaches and the banks of the lakes.
We were concerned when we first planned the trip to how pepper would cope with the journey from NZ to the UK, but you and the team at Venture pet soon layed to rest any concerns we had with your advice and experience you showed with the handling of animals, it was gratifying that you understood worries of pet owners and how you kept in touch with us to what was happening.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any travelers considering to transport their pets

Thanks to you and the team

TARO german shepherd to London, UK
Hi Lisa,
I just thought you’d like to know that Taro and I arrived safely in London on Tuesday.
He was very pleased to see me, as I was him. He is taking England in his stride and has already made lots of doggy friends. It seems they speak the same language.
Thanks for arranging things for us.
Margaret was lovely at the airport. Please let her know.

Cheers and best wishes,

TIMMY chihuahua cross to London, UK
Hi Lisa,
Timmy arrived safe and sound on Wednesday morning. When they brought him out, he was a little confused at first but then went crazy with excitement when he recognised us.
He was in very good spirits when he arrived, perky and happy and ready to explore his new home. I was expecting to see a stressed, tired little dog at the other end, but he was his old self, and didn’t seem phased by the journey at all. Timmy is now fully adjusted to London life and is enjoying lots of walks along the River Thames.
Thank you so much for all your help getting him over here. We would certainly use Venture Pets again, given Timmy was clearly so well looked after.

Many thanks,
Isobel, Darryl and Timmy

RONNIE   labradoodle to UK
Hi Bruce and Lisa,
Just to let you know that Ronnie arrived safe and well at Heathrow, and was taken to Wales by the agents in the UK.  He didn’t seem at all fazed by his long journey: he was in much better order than I usually am after that sort of flight!  He’s now settled in nicely to life in Wales…he’s already been to say hello to the local livestock, and everyone says how it’s obvious he’s a Kiwi, he’s so laid back about it all!
Thanks so much for looking after him so well.  I am sure he was so relaxed due to the good care you all took of him getting him through his checks and on to his flight.  Thanks, also, for letting us know his flight progress!  That was great!  We really couldn’t recommend Venture Pet highly enough to anyone needing to transport their dog: thanks so much for keeping in constant contact regarding Ronnie’s arrangements.  It really took all (well, most!) of the stress out of things for us!

Thanks again, and best regards,
Claire and Ronnie

POPPY dwarf springer spaniel to London, UK
Hi Lisa and Bruce
Poppy arrived all safe and sound! The import vet was so intrigued by Poppy that he had to take her photo!  Can’t tell you how grateful I am for all your care in overseeing Poppy’s travel back to the UK, she’s perfectly fine and has settled in straight away, tears all round from the family she is so special to us all, I’ll have to get her winter coat clipped as we’re having a hot spell at the moment, it really is as if she’s never been away at all!
Thank you all again so much, and I’ve given her plenty of hugs and cuddles from you, people can’t believe she’s such a globetrotter!

Lots of love and thanks
Fiona and Poppy! Xxxx

ALFIE cat to London, UK
Hi there Lisa,
I collected Alfie this morning!!! He was so sweet and looked absolutely fine. He has been bounding around the house like he’s never been anywhere. I’ve just taken him around the garden on his lead and he is starting to tire again….think that has more to do with devouring half a tin of tuna when he arrived!!!!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of him and putting up with me!
Kind regards,

Jules Marchant

MACKENZIE dog to London, UK
Hello Lisa
Thank you for looking after MacKenzie and ensuring that he arrived safely to us. He bounced out of the Heathrow Reception Centre as if he had only travelled from Petone to Wellington Airport and we are sure this is because of the good care he was given and your expertise in ‘packing’ him up.
Kind regards
