Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great communication. Very professional. Best price.

PBS handled the travel for my two dogs from the UK to the US. The customer service from Abbie was top-notch--above and beyond what I expected. She communicated clearly and frequently, answered all of my (many) questions, and even handled a situation outside her control (brought on by the airlines) with professionalism and excellent communication. In addition, they had the best price among several companies I checked with. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Chancy goes to Canada…

We used PBS to bring our cat back to Canada from the UK. Abbie was extremely helpful from the start. The various arrangements for pick up, vet visit, customs and delivery to our hotel in Canada all went without any issue. I would certainly recommend PBS for stress free pet travel! Thank you 😊

"How hard could it be?"

"How hard could it be?" we thought when we decided to take our cats back to South Africa.

As it turns out- very hard! The process was far more complex than we ever imagined, and we quickly realised we needed expert help. Thankfully, that's when we found PBS.

From our very first conversation, Alison was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through every step of the process, answered what felt like hundreds of questions (and always responded promptly), and gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled correctly.

What could have been an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience was made remarkably straightforward thanks to Alison and the entire PBS team. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish.

We cannot thank Alison and PBS enough for helping us reunite our family in South Africa. If you're considering relocating with your pets, I would wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Professional service rendered empathy

Professional service rendered with empathy for nerves and emotions experienced by pet parents. Nothing was too much trouble- from changing flight bookings to accuracy of legal requirements of importing country. My heartfelt thanks to Alison for a job well done ⭐️

I cannot recommend this company highly enough

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. The process of getting our dog to South Africa was hugely stressful and complex but PBS handled all the many bumps along the way calmly and professionally and helped us see it through to the end after we nearly gave up on it when timing became complex. Their agents in South Africa were just as wonderful and gave us great comfort during the very scary phase when the animal has left the old home and before they arrive at the new. When it is a precious pet, you really do want to trust the people you hand them over to and PBS are the best.

Ali was different

Ali was different. She was patient, professional, and truly responsible. She carefully reviewed my documents, marked every mistake clearly, and guided me step by step on how to correct them properly. She also explained that checking and correcting documents is a key part of a clearance agent’s responsibility, because it is essential for pets to travel smoothly and arrive safely.

I am truly so grateful to Ali for her…

I am truly so grateful to Ali for her help. It was a very urgent situation, and she was incredibly patient in going through all of my documents and checking every mistake carefully. She clearly marked each error one by one, which helped me correct everything in time and allowed my kittens to arrive safely in the UK.

Before finding Ali, I had contacted many UK clearance agents and had even paid some of them in full. However, they did not properly check my documents at all, which resulted in my kittens missing their flights twice. This was extremely stressful and heartbreaking for me.

Ali explained to me that it is the responsibility of a clearance agent to carefully review the documents and point out any mistakes, because correcting those errors is one of the most important keys to making sure pets can arrive safely and smoothly.

What touched me the most was that even before charging me any service fee, she had already taken the time to guide me through correcting the mistakes and making sure all the documents were properly completed. Her kindness, professionalism, honesty, and dedication meant so much to me during such a stressful time.

I highly recommend her to anyone who needs reliable, knowledgeable, and truly sincere help.——Alyssa

A great experience from start to finish, communication was excellent, keeping me up to date with everything and always at the other end of the phone if I needed to speak to Ali. Can't fault one but, definitely 2nd to none and would highly recommend for transporting our pets

Cat Relocation to Poland

I was relocating from Scotland to Poland with my cat, and it would have been much more complicated without all the support from PBS Travel. I worked with Henrietta, who was always very approachable, willing to answer any questions and help resolve any concerns I might have had. Overall, the PBS team’s services exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend them to my friends. Keep it up! Kind regards, Liudmyla & Sheldon

Relocating overseas can be difficult

Relocating overseas can be a difficult and stressful process. Add to that, bringing a pet with you, the stress and emotion can triple.
We are so incredibly grateful to PBS Pet Travel for their support and diligence in our move from New Zealand to the UK. It hasn’t stopped the nervousness and concern we pet parents face but we were constantly reassured during the whole process and knew all the details were being taken care off.
Lucy and Jason worked closely with our NZ pet transporter and kept us up to date as our dog Honey flew across the world. Pick up was seamless and only took a couple of hours with great communication throughout.
Honey has arrived safely and is quite relaxed, signals that she has had lots of care from everyone involved.

We cannot thank you enough. 🤩

Exceptional Service for Izzy & Otis’s Big Move!

I cannot thank the team at PBS enough for their incredible support in relocating my two cats, Izzy and Otis, from England to Canada. They arrived safely on February 27th, and the entire process was handled flawlessly. Moving pets across the ocean is a stressful experience, but the professionalism and care shown by the team made all the difference.
Special Recognition
• Kelly: A huge, heartfelt thank you to Kelly. Her guidance throughout the lead-up and the flight was amazing. She was organized, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled, keeping my mind at ease.
• The Collection Driver: I also want to extend a sincere thanks to the driver who collected the cats in England. My parents were there for the pickup and mentioned how brilliant he was—he was so gentle with the cats and incredibly professional, which really reassured them.
The Verdict
Knowing that Izzy and Otis were in such capable hands from the moment they left England to their arrival on the 27th meant the world to me. If you are looking for a team that treats your pets like their own, I cannot recommend PBS highly enough.
Thank you all for bringing my family back together

Very reliable.

PBS are diligent, follow up on the slightest detail and keep the customer closely updated throughout the process of export. They are knowledgeable and possess enviable communication skills. They will get the job done for you.

Kelly was absolutely outstanding

Kelly was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. She guided me through a very complex international pet relocation with clarity, patience, and genuine care. Every step — from documentation and vet coordination to flight logistics and last-minute details — was handled professionally and calmly.

What really stood out was Kelly’s responsiveness and compassion. She clearly understood how stressful this process can be and went out of her way to keep me informed and reassured throughout. My dog arrived safely, well cared for, and everything went exactly as planned.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kelly and PBS Pet Travel to anyone needing expert, trustworthy pet relocation services. Truly first-class.

Exceptional Service for Pet Relocation - Highly Recommend!


I recently used PBS Specialist Pet Travel to relocate my beloved miniature dachshund to Dubai, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless, but what truly stood out was the outstanding support from Henrietta. She was incredibly responsive, attentive to every detail, and reassuringly guided me through each step of what can often be a stressful ordeal.
Henrietta’s professionalism and kind manner were a game-changer, helping to lighten the burden of moving countries and ensuring my furry friend arrived safe and sound. Her expertise made all the difference in reducing my worries. If you’re planning to relocate your pet, PBS is the way to go—5 stars without hesitation!
