"Absolutely the best in dealing with complex freight of pets. We moved to The Netherlands and our bulldog required special services to fly. Between weather embargo’s, pilot strikes, and flight restrictions between countries, we were sure the process would fall apart.

"Absolutely the best in dealing with complex freight of pets. We moved to The Netherlands and our bulldog required special services to fly. Between weather embargo’s, pilot strikes, and flight restrictions between countries, we were sure the process would fall apart.
The people who run this business stepped up big time and found a way to ship both our dogs to Germany and have them driven to us in Amsterdam. All of this on a moments notice. It was nuts the amount of obstacles they had to navigate, but they did and our dogs are here and very happy. Oh and the cost… even with the changes it was far better priced than any of the two dozen other companies we contacted.
Just an amazing company."

"Moving a large, 125-pound Rottweiler–Golden Retriever mix across international borders felt daunting, a almost impossible, but Homeward Bound made the entire process seamless. Due to his size and breed, Samson had specific travel requirements, but their team handled every single detail with immense care and expertise.
Here is what made their service exceptional:
To protect Samson from hot tarmac temperatures during transit, Homeward Bound recommended driving him from Canada to Miami, as we relocated him during a time when Canadian airports and carriers disallowed live cargo shipments, so he could board a direct cargo flight. Their strategic routing drastically shortened his time in transit and gave us total peace of mind.
Navigating international veterinary permits, import regulations, and paperwork can be overwhelming, but they handled the administrative process so smoothly that it felt like a breeze.
Their local team on the ground was fantastic. They met the flight, expertly-navigated the official customs and import procedures, and handed Samson directly to us happy and healthy!
If you are relocating a large pet, or any pet for that matter, trust Homeward Bound. Their attention to detail, animal-first approach, and expert ground team are second to none."
