BOOMERANG PET CARRIER

Domestic & International Pet Relocations

Kennel Readiness

This is one of the most important issues with regard to pet shipping. All persons who ship, accept, or load animals must be familiar with the specific handling requirements for the individual species to ensure that animals always travel in safe, healthy, and humane conditions. A code of conduct referred to as the 'Live Animal Regulations' as adopted by IATA is applicable to all airlines. Your pet must be able to stand up, turn around and lie down in a natural manner in his travel kennel. The one thing that you can do to make your pet's journey as comfortable as possible is to 'crate train' your pet prior to shipment. BOOMERANG PET CARRIER will be happy to provide you with 'crate training' tips, and will set up your pet's travel kennel to adhere to all of the 'Live Animal Regulations' to ensure your pet's comfort and safety.

Air Cargo Booking & Routing

Because we move many pets per year, we know the best and most expeditious routes that are offered by the commercial airlines. Not all airlines transport animals via cargo, and all those that do may not be able to accommodate some travel kennels, or may be restricted by temperature guidelines. Let the experienced staff at BOOMERANG PET CARRIER plan the quickest, safest route for your pet.

Boarding Accommodation

BOOMERANG PET CARRIER can access a worldwide web of pet handlers who will provide the optimum in care for your pet before, during, or after shipment. We use the services of other IPATA agents - experts in the field of pet relocations.

Customs Clearance

Just as you, the international traveller, must report to Customs at your port of entry, your pet must clear Customs as well. With our network of IPATA shipping agents, we can arrange for customs clearance in the country of destination. Alternately, BOOMERANG PET CARRIER can complete the time consuming task of clearing your pet through Canadian Customs here in Calgary, Canada.

Documentation

With regard to international relocations, certain documentation requirements need to be met. These can include health and vaccination certificates, veterinarian protocols, transit and import permits, and quarantine arrangements. BOOMERANG PET CARRIER will take care of all the necessary paperwork for your pet's relocation, freeing up your time to make your own moving plans.

Endorsements

Your pet's documentation for international export may need to be endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Foreign Affairs, or by another country's consulate or embassy. The experts at BOOMERANG PET CARRIER can take care of this often confusing documentation.

Ground Transportation

Experienced animal handlers can deliver your pet and its kennel to the airport and complete the air cargo check in; alternately, we can collect your pet upon arrival, clear customs for you if necessary, and deliver to your residence. BOOMERANG PET CARRIER carries insurance for all pets while in our custody, and we take all the necessary precautions to ensure your pet's safety.

Sedation of pets prior to shipment is not recommended by our industry.

Clients' Comments

"We couldn't have done it without you and I would recommend you to anyone of my friends in a heartbeat. Thank you again."

Mariella R. - MacPhearson, Miniature Dachshund from Calgary, AB to Stockholm, Sweden

"Charles and I are thrilled, Karen. We couldn't have done it without you! You are the miracle worker of pet relocation! Before I got in touch with you, I had almost given up hope of getting Owl and Rebus to New Zealand. The process and the paperwork seemed overwhelming on top of our move. Since we had to leave the cats behind for six months, I felt totally powerless at being able to manage it all from Wellington. From liaising with the vets to insuring all the paperwork was in order to keeping the tabs on deadlines to last minute trouble shooting to caring for our cats and delivering them to the airport, your tireless efforts and attention to detail inspired our total confidence in you from start to finish. Rebus and Owl could not have been in better hands and we will always be grateful to you for all your work in getting them to New Zealand. I would recommend your services to anyone planning international relocation with their pets."

Sarah and Charles D. - Owl and Rebus, 2 Burmese X from Calgary, AB to Aukland, New Zealand

"Thank you so much for your assistance. It turns out that I think it will be relatively easy to bring Pei-Pei with me onboard - I just have to buy a new ticket. But, all in all, not a bad compromise. I really wanted to thank you for advising me to look deeper into that option, even though it means I will not be using your service. That, in my opinion, is the mark of a true and caring professional, and I greatly appreciate it!"

Stuart H. - Pei-Pei, Pekingese from Calgary, AB to Paris, France
