Although many Removals companies do offer shipping services for family pets, their experience and knowledge of the full requirements of live animal transportation, in terms of veterinary health, International Air Transport Association ‘AVI Rules’, CITES, & local import permissions is often quite limited. We handle all kinds of pet transportation, from your regular household pet to exotic wildlife. A perfect example was in 2005. Working closely with international and local animal welfare associations, WSPA & ARC, and local authorities, we were entrusted with the safe and successful transportation, by road and air charter, of Limassol Municipal Zoo’s two Syrian Brown bears, Noe and Midas, to their new home at a Hungarian bear sanctuary. With each bear weighing-in at 500kg and necessarily sedated for their journey, adherence to a very strict, time-limited transportation schedule and the need for extremely gentle handling, throughout, was imperative. For us, the only difference was in the sheer size of our ‘passengers’ – at some 20 times the norm for most pets.
