How it works

From the first phone call to the photo on the new sofa. This is everything that happens behind the scenes, with no embellishment and no waiting that is not needed.

01

You tell us

A two-minute form, a phone call, or you drop into the office with your pet. We need the origin and destination cities, species, breed, weight and age. And any medical condition, too.

  • We answer right away
  • A firm price, not a range
  • We tell you if your pet should NOT fly
02

We check

We check vaccinations, microchip and health certificate. If everything is in order, the check-up is done and the crate is prepared to size right there. If something is missing, we tell you exactly what it is and how long it takes: usually a vet appointment within 24 or 48 hours.

  • An on-the-spot check
  • An IATA crate in their size
  • No waiting if everything is current
03

Fly safe

We pick up at your door. A photo before boarding, a heads-up at takeoff, temperature monitoring in flight and confirmation of unloading with the ramp crew.

  • Home pickup
  • Priority handling
  • A message at every step
04

It gets home

A vet check on arrival and delivery to the new door. After 48 hours we call to hear how your pet is settling in.

  • Vet check on arrival
  • Door-to-door delivery
  • A follow-up call after 48 hours
