PBS were great from start to finish
PBS were great from start to finish. Very responsive to all my questions and provided multiple options. During transportation everything was smooth and post arrival questions were answered promptly.
Highly recommend.
"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 ⭐️
Great service
Great service. They made the process smooth. Communication and updates throughout the process.
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.
Very Happy!
Very happy with the service I received from Julius and the Team. Such professional and friendly staff. They made the whole process stress free and simple. Thank you!
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…
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.
Excellent team- Great service!
I choose PBS after getting 3 quotes for a move of 2 cats from LHR to DXB because of 2 key reasons- 1) competitive pricing 2) excellent comms. I worked with Henrietta during this process and she was a god sent- handled all my nerves and 1000 questions very competently- super responsive at all times. I felt very confident with them and the cats are now well settled in dubai. would 100% reccomend everyone use their service
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!
Super communication
Super communication, very helpful and kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you all so much!
Title: Incredible experience moving our Golden from the UK to WA – Ask for Kelly!
I cannot recommend PBS Pet Travel enough for anyone looking to relocate their pets. We recently moved our Golden Retriever from the UK to Washington state, and the process was flawless thanks to Kelly.
Moving a large dog internationally is incredibly stressful, but Kelly made us feel at ease from day one. She was super responsive to every single email and worry I had. What really stood out was that she was always a step ahead of the process; she anticipated our questions and handled the logistics before we even realized they needed to be done.
Our pup arrived in Washington safe, happy, and on time. If you want peace of mind, go with PBS and definitely ask to work with Kelly!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for PBS Pet Travel…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for PBS Pet Travel & Henrietta Locke
Moving countries is challenging, but the hardest and most emotional part is entrusting someone with your pets — sending them halfway across the world and hoping they’re cared for as if they were your own. I recently moved from London to Dubai with my two dogs, both of whom are snub-nosed breeds, which made the process even more stressful.
From the very beginning, Henrietta Locke at PBS Pet Travel handled everything with exceptional care, compassion, respect, and understanding. She guided me through every step, reassured me during the stressful lead-up to travel day, and made sure all my concerns were heard and addressed.
On the day of the move, everything ran like clockwork. The entire PBS team was calm, professional, and incredibly supportive. My girls arrived safely, comfortably, and far more effortlessly than I ever imagined possible.
I cannot thank Henrietta and the PBS Pet Travel team enough. They turned one of the most nerve-wracking experiences into something smooth, organised, and ultimately heartwarming. Highly recommend them to anyone relocating with pets.
Very reliable and professional
PBS were amazing helping me transport my dog from the UK to Portugal. Kelly responded quickly to my many questions, took care of all the details, removed the stress and provided constant updates along the way. I would definitely recommend them.
