    Transcontinental Pet Movers did a fabulous job on transporting my two cats from Los Angeles to Shanghai. They manifested their professional discipline and responsibility throughout the whole process. Highly recommended!

  • I send my rabbit from SF to Paris. Before I contact Transcontinental I have no idea of how to do it. They answered all my questions and helped me schedule vet, buy flight ticket and so on. They prepared all document needed so I don't have to spend many time on it. At the day my rabbit take flight, they come to my place and help me set up the air cage. They are very professional. They also keep following up until my rabbit get received in Paris. Thanks again! I finally send my rabbit to Paris successfully within 10 days without any issue.

    Timothy is honestly the best! After contacting over 10 agencies Transcontinental was the only company that made me feel like they actually cared. Timothy worked with me over 3 different time zones and bent over backwards to help me. Even before we enlisted his services he took the time to explain the process and ways we could go about the big move. He was always around to answer my calls and texts, the man never sleeps! I truly felt like my dog was with a friend. He even waited outside the endorsement office for hours just to speed things along. His honesty was so refreshing, I felt confident in his ability to get my dog home. Above and beyond expectations. Exceptional service and care for an incredibly fare price. 10/10 would recommend absolutely anyone to use Transcontinental Pet Movers. They made a complicated process easy. Thanks Timothy and team!!!

    Moving countries is tough already, and I had no idea how intense the moving process for pets would be. Thankfully, I turned to Timothy. He went above and beyond, always answering promptly, and ALWAYS knew the answer to any question. He took initiative and worked directly with the vet to make sure my pup got safely to me in the UK. With regards to Timothy - I can honestly say, there is no room for improvement because he already brings the best service you can think of. If you are looking for help with moving your pet, I wouldn't look any further than Transcontinental Pet Movers.

  • Recently, my sweet boy Elio flew from San Francisco to Malaysia via cargo. It was his first international flight and with the help of Timothy, we managed to square out all the paper works right away. Timothy is very knowledgeable in regards to all the minute details that are needed for a smooth sailing journey while providing answers to the many questions I had. I highly recommend Timothy and his company.

    Really, really like these guys. Although we didn't eventually go through with the whole process because our pet had some relapse seizures and was ultimately deemed unsafe to fly, we nonetheless had a wonderful experience with Timothy and Co. He is incredibly fast, responsive, knows his stuff, and answers emails point by point and never misses anything. And, to boot, his prices were among the best. We were intending to take a pet to Australia, which has arguably the toughest restrictions, and Timothy navigated it all with a breeze. You really can't go with these guys. Just give them a call, wherever you are intending to take your beloved pet.

    To be honest, I can’t find any where more reliable than this one. The price is transparent and reasonable, the service is professional. My cat only spent under 15hrs for layover at SVO which I appreciate it so much. I noticed they did clean the crate when landed at SVO and gave my poor little one food prepared by me all the time. One thing you should know is you only get photo/video proofs at departure, and you will pay a lot just for a photo when your little ones are in any connection. Anything after should be customs clearance company’s (if any) job.

    We sent both our cat and dog (a big Golden Retriever) back to our home country with Transcontinental Pet Movers. Although we encountered some challenges due to some uncertainties in regulations and flights during COVID, People at Transcontinental Pet Movers were able to solve them professionally and quickly. Because of their IPATA and relevant qualifications, they could book different flights and adjust schedules quickly, which is very important nowadays. Would recommend to our friends whose pets need to travel.

You provided Mullika and I with a safe, sane, expeditious option to transport our Gawow ( 16lb ) male Shihtzu to Thailand. The peace of mind you gave us with your option is immeasurable!

    Professional, experienced. There are so many "company" out there provide animal/pet transport service, and of course I've reached out to multiple carriers before finalized my pick. The reason why I pick them among all the other carriers is because how they treat their clients. I am new to this so I want someone that cares, and that is what I feel through out our conversation. Their respond time is the fastest, explanation is the clearest and detailed, which is why I say professional and experienced in the first place. Highly recommend!

    We had a great experience - everything we had to do was clearly explained, and everything else was taken care of by Timothy and his team. Timothy is meticulous over the details which really helped me feel like I didn’t have to worry about anything (especially because the UK is quite finicky over vaccination records). Our cat was picked up from our house in San Francisco and safely delivered to London Heathrow. We received lots of pictures along the way when possible, and we felt she was in safe hands the whole time. Truly as stress free as it could have been. Can’t recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers enough!

  • Transcontinental was amazing in relocating my dog. Timothy was responsive, answering my questions over the weekend and in the evenings. He didn't miss a single detail. Due to COVID, routes were constantly changing, but Timothy was able to stay ahead of the changes and would quickly propose alternate routes that got my dog to me in the most direct way possible. Other companies were proposing extremely long flights with multiple layovers that would have been exhausting and stressful for my pup. I had to arrange for a vet health check over time zones and bad internet. Tim went above and beyond and found a vet close to my mom’s house that would upload the health certificate online so we could meet the certificate validity period. I emailed Tim an hour after the vet appointment to tell him that my dog’s appointment went well, and he told me that he had already followed up with the vet and was double-tracking the USDA application from his side. Timothy was extremely professional, courteous, and personable. I would absolutely recommend anyone moving their pets to go with Transcontinental. The price was competitive, and the service was excellent. Our family is so happy to have our puppy with us again.

    This pet consignment agency is very patient. They communicate directly with the doctors in my cat's clinic, which saves me a lot of time. The cat's return certificate is handled smoothly. It takes less than five days from departure to home in China, and a video will be sent to me in the middle. Let me always pay attention to the cat's state. It's really sweet and great!

    I could not recommend Cordelia and her team more. They know this business and all its nuances. We had a paperwork issue in that my baby Bear would not be able to get on the plane with me, I was upset, crying and worried out of my mind as we were moving from the USA to Ireland and we had to get on the plane. We missed the deadline to submit 1 page of the paperwork. After Cordelia calmed me down she drove straight to my vet got the original needed drove back to SFO and GOT MY BABY ON THE PLANE WITH ME. She is super woman and understands her business, and the precious cargo they organize for their customers. If you need to freight an animal THID is the ONLY company to call

  • From day one of inquiring about their pricing, they have been nothing but helpful. They even found a flight for my cat on the same day I was meant to leave. Even though in the end, I was unable to move my pet due to visa issues, they went above and beyond to assist me. Their responses were timely and always courteous. I would definitely go through them right away instead of looking for another company. Thank you for all of your hard work!

    I just imported a puppy from Spain and it was a nerve wracking experience but the last leg was handled by Transcontinental Pet Movers and that part was great. I worked with Timothy and he made it easy and painless and I can't say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable, calm, thorough, and responsive and he understood how important this was to me. The puppy had to be in a crate for at least 18 hours and that's a LONG time for a 4 month old puppy! They cleaned up the puppy and the crate so thoroughly that I would never have known there had been a big mess if they hadn't told me. I'd say they went above and beyond. All in all, it was the perfect ending to a long, scary ride. For me, mostly. Thanks, Transcontinental.
