So you want to move abroad with your fluffy friend... where do you even get started? 

Vaccinations, quarantines, flights, cargo... It's enough to make anyone have a meltdown. 

For many of us, our pets are family, and we're not going to leave them behind. We want to make sure the journey is safe, straightforward, and doesn't cause our pets anxiety. 

Well... thankfully, I've brought in an expert who knows just about everything there is to know about moving abroad with pets!
