I would 100% recommend Worldwide Animal Travel to anyone flying their pets abroad! I was VERY nervous to fly my dog Echo from Canada to the UK but they made the experience so much easier for me and on the day the flight went perfectly. Echo arrived happy and healthy and didn’t even seem like he knew he had been on a plane! He was released so fast to me thanks to the amazing communication and organization of everyone involved! I was very impressed :) And an extra shout out/thank you to our pet coordinator Monica as well for being amazing throughout the entire process 😊😊

We hired Worldwide Animal Travel to handle the export of two dogs to the UK, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, their team was incredibly accommodating, patient, and genuinely understanding. International pet transport is never simple, and despite a few hiccups along the way with CFIA and veterinary paperwork, their staff worked tirelessly with us to resolve every issue. They stayed calm, proactive, and supportive, and never once made us feel like we were a burden or inconvenience. Thanks to their persistence and expertise, everything came together and our dogs were successfully booked and placed on their flight. If you are looking for a company that truly cares, communicates clearly, and knows how to navigate the complexities of international animal travel, I highly recommend Worldwide Animal Travel. We would not hesitate to work with them again in the future. Professional, compassionate, and reliable. Exactly what you want when your pets are involved.

I highly recommend Worldwide Animal Travel. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I reached out to them for guidance on traveling with my dog from Vancouver to Europe, and they carefully guided me through every step, making sure I had all the correct paperwork in place. Thanks to their support and clear instructions, my trip went smoothly from start to finish, and everything went exactly as planned when we landed in Europe. Their help gave me real peace of mind, and I’m very grateful for their excellent service.

We can’t thank Monica and Niamh enough for all their help with arranging transportation for our dog. We were very nervous dog parents and Monica was really knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. Overall a very smooth flight for and myself and the updates on how our Jedi was doing really put our mind at ease.
