We strongly recommend PETS! PETS helped relocate our cat, Lluvi, from Canberra to Chile. Of all the companies we contacted, PETS was the only one who connected us with an agent to get our cat to our final destination, Paraguay. PETS actually came personally recommended to us by someone at LATAM Airlines! PETS communication was clear, consistent, and always reassuring. They always answered all of our questions, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and sent updates while our cat was in transit. All of this with great price! With all the stress that comes with an international move, PETS helped the process with their professionalism, patience, and genuine care. We’re incredibly grateful and strongly recommend them!

We cannot recommend PetEx highly enough. They assisted us with relocating our dog from Melbourne to South Africa, and from start to finish their service was beyond amazing. Moving a pet internationally is an incredibly stressful process, there are so many logistics, regulations, and naturally a lot of nerves involved. The team at PetEx were professional, responsive, and genuinely understanding every step of the way. They guided us through the paperwork, timelines, and requirements with total clarity, and were always available to answer our (many!) questions. What really stood out was their empathy. They understood that this wasn’t just “cargo” this was our family member. That reassurance and care made all the difference. Our dog’s departure from Melbourne was unexpectedly delayed due to a customs issue in South Africa, and during what could have been an incredibly stressful time, PetEx were beyond amazing. Because we had to leave earlier than planned without her, they quickly organised a kennel stay for our dog and handled everything seamlessly. We felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care, which says a lot given how anxious we were about the situation. Our dog is reactive and doesn’t usually warm to new people, so we were especially concerned about how she would cope. However, when we dropped her off at the PetEx office, she was immediately calm, comfortable, and happy to meet Tim and Haider — something that is very rare for her. Seeing that instantly put us at ease and reassured us that she was in the very best hands. Our dog arrived safely and smoothly in Cape Town, and we are so grateful for how seamless they made what could have been a very overwhelming experience. If you’re considering relocating your pet, PetEx is the team you want in your corner. Thank you Haider, Tim and team - we will be forever grateful!!

I would like to thank you for helping me to relocate my dog from Australia to Colombia. She arrived in very good condition, comfort stops were key. The entire process was straightforward, they were in contact with me the whole time to help me with the paperwork, and they have very friendly staff.

Tim and Haider were incredible with how they helped my cat relocate overseas. Both of them were extremely attentive with my questions and gave excellent advice, as I have never relocated a pet before. I can absolutely recommend PETS. Thanks again Tim and Haider.
