Featured Testimonial
"Getting your pet overseas can be super stressful. But I got to say working with Happy Tails put a lot of those stressors at ease.
They were super helpful with the whole process and answer any and all questions you may have.
Samantha helped my family out so much and we cannot have been more grateful that Whiskey got to Germany safely with her help.
I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in need to transferring a pet for a PCS.
Whiskey is settling into the new home nicely!"

What Customers are Saying
“Just wanted to thank Happy Tails Travel for getting our dogs from San Diego to the BigIisland of Hawaii safe and sound, on time, and in good health; not one glitch. Not sure how we would have done it without your help especially all the paperwork. We are so grateful to Happy Tails Travel for providing this service. This would have been a nightmare doing it all on our own. The dogs are already settled into their now home and resting peacefully. Thanks again Happy Tails Travel; you’re the best!”
