Summer Pet Shipping Hints

2011-08-24T17:50:00.000-07:00

With the advent of summer, and the hot days and nights that accompany the season, it's very important to take extra care to insure your pets' comfort and see that your furred and feathered friends do not become overheated during your pets' relocation to their new home. This is even more important when shipping your pet unaccompanied, as maintaining superior climate control to insure your pet's safety during every step of the trip is a key element in the creation of a successful pet relocation at any time of the year. A professional, experienced pet shipper will understand and consider all of the aspects that contribute to safe pet travel as regards the appropriate choice of flight kennels, the documents required, any inoculations and/or treatments as necessary prior to shipment, and the selection of safe pet flight times. A professional will also be able to focus on taking into account individual breed characteristics, and even more importantly, on choosing the best airlines through which your pet will be safely cared for in any weather conditions. Just as any other industry has good companies and bad, some airlines are better than others at caring for your pet. Shipping pets within the country can be challenging, and the longer flights as may be required to ship pets internationally can be even more problematic. Don't take any chances with your pets' safety, and don't entrust them to anyone inexperienced with animal shipping requirements and protocols. Hiring a professional pet shipper may cost you a little more, but the heightened safety and comfort of your pet's shipping experience, coupled with the planning of the the swiftest possible itinerary for your pet with the least posssible amount of worry for you will be well worth the cost in the end. Your "Best Friends" deserve nothing less than the "VERY BEST". Provide him with the security, safety, and peace of mind that he cannot provide for himself.

Microchipping News and Updates !

Microchipping Updates & Information

We all know of the many reasons for microchipping your pets, the safety net it provides for lost animals, and the need for ISO microchips for pets traveling out of the country. But few people know a couple of other bits of microchip information. First, it is illegal for lost pets who are found and taken to shelters (or other locations) to be sold or given to any research labs for any purpose if they have been microchipped. This is ANOTHER GOOD REASON to have all pets microchipped ..... if they have one, they CANNOT end up as a research subject! And chips cannot be removed without major surgical intervention. Second, we've had a couple instances lately where the chips have "migrated" to other locations from where they were initially implanted under the skin ........ one moved to a cat's "chin", and another to a dog's "thigh". It's a good practice to have your pets' chips, and those of your clients' pets, scanned regularly to insure they can be easily located and read to insure they are still readable. By insuring that your pet has a readable microchip, and if you are traveling with your pet, whether across the state or around the world, you can always be reunited if your pet is chipped and can be identified. We would suggest you acquire one for your pet the next time you visit your veteriarian, and lessen the risk of separation while increasing their safety. Most veterinarians have these available for your pet, and if you plan on traveling internationally with your pet, be certain that it is ISO readable, #11784 or #11785. HAPPY TRAVELS ! www.VIPPetTransport.com

Tightening Airline Security Making Pet Shipments Problematic

2010-01-04T22:18:00.000-08:00

With the recent attempted airline terrorist attacks and the myriad of continued terror threats, many air carriers have implemented more stringent requirements for their air cargo shipments, including those for pets and live animals. And while heightened security measures insure more safety for both passengers and for pets traveling by air, the logistics of transporting animals by air is getting more and more complex. What does this mean to you, the pet owner? It simply means that air cargo shipments must now, most often, be coordinated through the use of a licensed pet shipping agent or company, as cargo from "unknown shippers" represents a potential security threat to the aircraft and the passengers on board. That's where we come in! We can arrange your pet's shipment in a timely, affordable, and efficient fashion, and you can avoid the stress and save the time consuming task of having to try and find an airline that will carry your pets to their destination for you. As the TSA continues to increase security, and as the airlines worldwide follow suit with more restrictive requirements for their cargo shipments, we will be available and working hard to assist you with all of your pet transport needs. Creating smooth, swift, and stress-free moves for your animals is what we do best. We look forward to 2010 and the many challenges it brings to our industry, but, more than that, we look forward to helping all of our clients get their pets safely relocated to their new homes. And ...... we look forward to hearing from you and helping you, too, with your pets' next journey. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our clients and associates old and new! www.VIPPETTRANSPORT.com
