Can anyone recommend a good Pet Relocation company?

As above really.

We're relocating to Korea in August and so far I've had quotes to fly my dog out ranging from £1300 to £4000!! All essentially doing the same thing.

Personal recommendations from anyone who's already done it would be gratefully received :~)

We used Airpets to send our cat from Heathrow to Qatar 4 years ago. They were very helpful and our cat arrived safely. I don't remember the cost though. Can you take the cat as unaccompanied baggage, that is a cheaper option. We chose a re-locator because Qatar Airways wouldn't allow animals as unaccompanied and the cat went

Thanks for that guys,

Airpets is on my shortlist already, and I've just applied for a quote from Pet Air.

I just think if I'll feel a lot happier about it if I use a company that someone can personally recommend!

We used Pet Air too for our 2 cats to move to Singapore (5 years ago now though). But everything went very well they kept in touch with us throughout as they had to board with them for a little while beforehand too due to logistics of our move. I would recommend that you pay the extra to have your pet delivered to you at the other end if they don't have to go through quarrantine. I foolishly decided it would be reassuring for them to go and pick them up from the freight terminal. It took a long time to clear the various stages of procedure and the taxi ride back to our serviced apartment was not fun!

Thanks Merlion :~)

Hopefully I'll receive a quote from them today.

We used Airpets for a transfer from the UK to Japan six years ago. They were very good. Not cheap, but stress free.
