  • Professional, experienced. There are so many "company" out there provide animal/pet transport service, and of course I've reached out to multiple carriers before finalized my pick. The reason why I pick them among all the other carriers is because how they treat their clients. I am new to this so I want someone that cares, and that is what I feel through out our conversation. Their respond time is the fastest, explanation is the clearest and detailed, which is why I say professional and experienced in the first place. Highly recommend!

    Transcontinental was amazing in relocating my dog. Timothy was responsive, answering my questions over the weekend and in the evenings. He didn't miss a single detail. Due to COVID, routes were constantly changing, but Timothy was able to stay ahead of the changes and would quickly propose alternate routes that got my dog to me in the most direct way possible. Other companies were proposing extremely long flights with multiple layovers that would have been exhausting and stressful for my pup. I had to arrange for a vet health check over time zones and bad internet. Tim went above and beyond and found a vet close to my mom’s house that would upload the health certificate online so we could meet the certificate validity period. I emailed Tim an hour after the vet appointment to tell him that my dog’s appointment went well, and he told me that he had already followed up with the vet and was double-tracking the USDA application from his side. Timothy was extremely professional, courteous, and personable. I would absolutely recommend anyone moving their pets to go with Transcontinental. The price was competitive, and the service was excellent. Our family is so happy to have our puppy with us again.

    We sent both our cat and dog (a big Golden Retriever) back to our home country with Transcontinental Pet Movers. Although we encountered some challenges due to some uncertainties in regulations and flights during COVID, People at Transcontinental Pet Movers were able to solve them professionally and quickly. Because of their IPATA and relevant qualifications, they could book different flights and adjust schedules quickly, which is very important nowadays. Would recommend to our friends whose pets need to travel.

  • We recently sought the assistance of Timothy at Transcontinental Pet Movers to help us navigate the complex process of relocating my daughter's beloved cat to the UK. From the outset, Timothy was consistently available for consultations via phone or email, and he promptly addressed any questions or concerns we had about the export process. In hindsight, I would have entrusted Timothy with handling all aspects of transportation and paperwork. The do-it-yourself approach proved to be incredibly stressful, as there are numerous details involved in moving a pet internationally by cargo. This includes the completion of paperwork, arranging cargo shipping, adhering to kennel specifications, coordinating with clearing agents for customs clearance, navigating heat embargoes, and managing concerns about potential flight delays or cancellations. Throughout the entire process, Timothy's guidance provided much-needed reassurance that we were on the right track to ensure a safe journey for my daughter’s cat. Ultimately, the cat arrived in the UK on the same flight as my daughter, and everything went smoothly. We are grateful for Timothy's expertise and professionalism, and we highly recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers to anyone facing a similar situation.

    Moving is stressful. Add a cross-country move with your dog on top of that and it becomes even more stressful. Timothy and Transcontinental Pet Movers made our move a breeze. We had to board our dog, Luna, with them overnight and Timothy was so fantastic, sending us regular updates with photos and videos of Luna up until her flight took off. He took care of the paperwork and logistics of shipping our pet in cargo, always prepared with a solution and recommendations. I could not recommend TransCon enough!

    Transcontinental was able to help me move my dog from California to the UK on pretty short notice with a plethora of difficulties and restrictions as a result of COVID. My representative, Timothy, was extremely communicative and timely and even sent me photos of my dog during his journey to help put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to relocate a pet abroad!

  • I just imported a puppy from Spain and it was a nerve wracking experience but the last leg was handled by Transcontinental Pet Movers and that part was great. I worked with Timothy and he made it easy and painless and I can't say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable, calm, thorough, and responsive and he understood how important this was to me. The puppy had to be in a crate for at least 18 hours and that's a LONG time for a 4 month old puppy! They cleaned up the puppy and the crate so thoroughly that I would never have known there had been a big mess if they hadn't told me. I'd say they went above and beyond. All in all, it was the perfect ending to a long, scary ride. For me, mostly. Thanks, Transcontinental.

    My furry kids (a cat and a guinea pig) have arrived in Singapore from US. The process was easy and smooth. Timothy is quite responsive and professional. I would recommend this agency to everyone who needs to export their pets.

    If I could give these folks 20 stars, I would. Timothy took care of EVERYTHING down to the tiniest detail, and this was a hard, last minute, INSANE move. But my dogs ad my sanity were safe in his hands!! If you are doing an international trip with a pet, this is the person you want to call. There are so many forms, so many nitpicky little things--I promise you that the sanity and time that you get back by just letting Timothy’s wisdom guide you will be worth 10x what you pay for it!!

  • Big thank you and greatly appreciate all the hard work that Transcontinental did for my cat traveling from LA to Beijing, thanks to their professional arrangements, my cat safely arrived before Christmas, so we could spend the holiday together:) Pet international move is complicated, which could be affected by export/import policies, flight companies, weather….. My cat flights were cancelled 2 times before, I felt so much frustrated, stressful, but Pet Transcontinental took care of all the paperwork and logistics, provide me new solutions, arrange new flight, so my baby cat finally back home with me~~ I highly recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers, they are super reliable, and treat your little ones like family!!!

    Really, really like these guys. Although we didn't eventually go through with the whole process because our pet had some relapse seizures and was ultimately deemed unsafe to fly, we nonetheless had a wonderful experience with Timothy and Co. He is incredibly fast, responsive, knows his stuff, and answers emails point by point and never misses anything. And, to boot, his prices were among the best. We were intending to take a pet to Australia, which has arguably the toughest restrictions, and Timothy navigated it all with a breeze. You really can't go with these guys. Just give them a call, wherever you are intending to take your beloved pet.

    I'd like to sincerely thank them for helping me with transporting my pet from LA to Beijing safely during this special COVID-19 situation. They were fully responsible for what they were doing and exactly knew what they were capable of. As a valued customer, I highly recommend them to anyone who needs qualitative service and decent information regarding live animal transportation. They will handle your pet safely and carefully!

    Tim and his counterparts in China made the process of getting our friends cat back to her in the dates from China seamless. They were more affordable than other companies we had looked at using. They are so trustworthy, that we are using them again when my daughter travels back from China with her cat. Definitely recommend this company!
