What you don't know about pet shipping could jeopardize the safety of
your pet!
The experts at BOOMERANG PET CARRIER have shipped pets to all of the
continents of the world - with the exception of . . . .Antarctica, of course!
Did You Know
- that upon entering Australia from Canada, your pet must do a minimum
of 30 days quarantine?
- that as of May 2011, the MAF in New Zealand has issued a new Import
Standard for pets from Canada? The quarantine time has been shortened
from 30 to 10 days.
- our industry safely relocates hundreds of thousands of pets by air
freight annually?
- pets must clear customs and have veterinary inspections upon arrival
when relocating to other countries?
- that the sedation of pets for air travel is strongly discouraged by
the AVMA? The effects of a sedative in a pressurized compartment may
be quite different than in your own home and could harm your pet.
- as of 01 January 2012, the UK is aligning with the EU and adopting
their import regulations for cats and dogs? No more titre tests or six
month waits!
Boomerang Pet Carrier has an in-house policy whereby we will not accept
puppies for carriage by airfreight who weigh less than 12 pounds and/or
are younger than 12 weeks. Puppies must be fully vaccinated against rabies
and the annual package of canine inoculations. The animal must also have
a clinical exam with the issuance of a health certificate from a registered,
accredited veterinarian within 10 days of dispatch. Many countries of
destination will treat the import of puppies shipped as cargo as commercial
shipments with a higher level of import health regulations rather than
personal pet movements. They may also apply duty to the invoiced value
of the animal.
Sadly, there is a group of nasty persons who advertise small breed puppies
free to good homes for payment of the shipping costs only. They are rampant
on Kijiji and the internet. Good news – these unscrupulous people do
not have custody of any animals. Bad news – they will take your money
and milk you for more. If you cannot reach the seller of the puppy by
phone and they will only accept Western Union payments, it is not a legitimate
pet shipper and you are being scammed. Check out the IPATA
website for more information.
TSA (Homeland Security) Directive: As of October 2010, any animal transported
as cargo on a passenger aircraft that lands in the US, must be booked
and tendered to the airline by an agent or person who has at least a
30 day business relationship with the airline. If booked and tendered
by an agent (Boomerang Pet Carrier), we must also have a 30 day business
relationship with the owner of the pet prior to dispatch. We also cannot
accept payment for airfreight from our client in the form of cash or
personal cheque. Boomerang Pet Carrier can relocate your pets to the
US with Continental cargo or Air Canada cargo 30 days after an online
relocation questionnaire has been submitted to us.
Clients' Comments
"Karen, I can't thank you enough for your incredible work in making all of this happen. Your knowledge, attention to detail, and dependability throughout this 'project' has been amazing, and certainly the key to why it has all happened so smoothly. We pet-owners tend to be rather nutty when it comes to our animals, adding yet another complication to this work :). So thank you also for your great patience. If you ever need a reference to potential clients, please feel free to them my contact information anytime."
