Client Testimonials

Thank you soooo much... Harley arrived at the cargo dock about 12:30am, actually sooner than I expected. He was so happy to see me, and even more excited when I got him to Mom. I woke her at about 1:30am;  I think she thought she was dreaming... He looked fantastic.

They are really enjoying each other and I couldn't have done it without you! Again thanks... you've made my Mom very happy!

Hi Bridget! Thanks again for all of your help in making this easy and safe for my 'girl' to get Home Sweet Home.

This is my nephew with Isabella. She has gained about 15 pounds since Christmas, as have all the puppies!

Bridget did a great job setting up shipment of our cats, Moe & Blanco, from Atlanta to LAX. Everything went so smoothly, from preflight arrangements, to check-in, to arrival.

I'm happy to report that both arrived in fine shape and have already settled into their new home.

Thanks, Bridget!

Thank you  so much! We are so very happy that Rocket is home. He is so happy and really seems to love the Aloha. Thanks for all you have done. I can't believe there wasn't a hitch.

The move 3000 miles seems to not have fazed him. I will always tell ours friends and family to use Happy Tails.

Grace L.
Orlando, FL to Ninole, HI

After requesting several “agents” for their services and prices to get my pet relocated from Hawaii to GA, the only one that really stood out was  Bridget with her personal touch, care and expert service. Thank you Bridget, from the bottom of my heart, for being the instrument re-uniting Socks with me here on the mainland!

 

You booked handled all my questions professionally on both ends, here on the mainland as well on the Big Island with my friend John Dodd who kindly took Socks to the airport in Hilo. Socks traveled from Hilo Hawaii to Atlanta GA with Delta, with out any delays or hiccups. Their staff was most helpful in both giving me directions to this, the biggest airport in the USA, in Atlanta as well helping getting Socks the moment I arrived at the terminal.
 
Thanks again Bridget, I will make sure to tell other about your services!

I wanted to drop you a note to say thanks so much for your help in moving Elwood from Baltimore to London. We definitely missed him!  The international moving process was very complicated and was made so much easier with your help. I feel really great about how the move went and Elwood was very happy to see us!  

Elwood has gotten settled really well. Here is a photo of him at play. Thanks again and we'll definitely use you again when we move back to the States! Also, my friend is looking to move her cat from Seattle to London -- so I am sending her your way!

Aloha Bridget, We can't thank you enough for all your hard work, compassion and professionalism in making Jackie's long journey from Florida to Kauai a safe and smooth experience. As you know, we moved here 2 months before her and we were especially anxious about her travel because of her history of abuse prior joining our family 4 years ago.You not only coordinated every detail of the move, you went out of your way to notify handlers all along the route of her history to insure that her trip was as stress free as possible.  It was obvious when she arrived- on time, calm and delighted to see us- that you had done an outstanding job of seeing that our sweet girl was treated the utmost gentleness and TLC. With all the regulations required to bring a pet to Hawaii, we could never have accomplished this so successfully on our own.

Jackie adjusted immediately to her Kauai home. She has only been here one week but has already made many friends (4 legged and 2 legged) and loves going on long walks. We have yet to introduce her to the beach, but will do that soon.

I would recommend you without the slightest hesitation to anyone relocating a pet.  Entrusting you with our precious girl's move was the best decision we ever made. The peace of mind you gave us meant the world to us.

Mahalo nui loa.

Ocala, FL to Lihue, HI

Thanks to your hard work and superb organization at Happy Tails Travel, Maya's trip to Spokane, WA went very smoothly!  It meant a lot to have her with the family for the holidays and she had a wonderful time playing in the snow.

I would highly recommend your services and seek your assistance again for any future travel plans.

Jeanine M.
Tucson, AZ to Spokane, WA

Thank you so much for getting my dog to California safely and smoothly. He had a good flight and has adjusted very well out here. You're a lifesaver! This dog means a lot to me. I am so grateful for all that you did. When I moved, I did not think I would be able to see my dog again, and I was heartbroken. Then I saw your website and now Bear is having a great time in his new home!

I certainly couldn't have done it without you! Happy Tails is an awesome pet relocation company and I truly appreciate everything they did for me!

Misti W.
Cochran, GA to Monterey, CA

Thanks so much for making this happen. This is a great weight off of a lot of people's minds. You have no idea!

We will definitely recommend you to anyone else we hear about who needs a pet transport service! Thanks again! The photos are of me and Ardella and the other one is of Pokie.

Tarzan was an angel during his travel...
and did fabulous! We got to Amsterdam without a hitch, and then they flew through my paperwork - I don't think the guy even knew what was required. He flipped through the documents - he didn't even ask for the Home Again document - and waved me on through. Tarzan's been pretty clingy the first few days, and he can't quite find the right spot to go potty (he's used to grass and there are very few patches of that here!) but he's starting to return to his own self. Thankfully!! Thanks again for all your help and instructions - you made it easy as pie!

Kimberle S.

Just a note to say how much...
myself, my husband, and my parents greatly appreciate your hard work in coordinating all of Lucie’s travel arrangements! It was so emotional for me to drop her off to fly from San Francisco to Philadelphia, but all of your details-oriented organization and personal reassurance made the process as smooth as it could be! Also, when her trip was cancelled by United, your immediate, “on-the-spot” planning of a flight on Continental saved me immense time and effort (not to mention the sheer emotion of saying goodbye!) in not having to repeat the drop-off process the next day. I would highly recommend your pet travel services to anyone considering assistance with relocating their pet. With a baby at home, it was a life-saver to have your expertise, detailed checklists, and the full paperwork delivered right to my door! Thank you for making Lucie’s home relocation such a positive experience! With best wishes,

Larissa D.

Sophie is here!
The flight was long (22 hours door to door), lots of hanging around getting Sophie booked in but thankfully there were no problems with customs or pet immigration in England.

Sophie is doing great. She got very excited when we pulled into our street in Birmingham, she knew she was home because this is where she grew up as a little puppy. She has her garden to run around in again and I have made a special point of taking her on long walks to all the places I used to take her. All in all she doesn't seem phased at all and we are very happy as is she.

Thanks for all your help. I have attached a picture of little Sophie for you. I hope you like her.

I cannot thank you enough
for the loving care you showed our animals. Flying from Phoenix all the way to Madrid, Spain, and then, flying home four months later from Zurich -- I really felt confident that our 15 year old dog was in the best care. And, our cat was handled like the princess she is! As a family, we couldn't imagine living in Europe without our furry family members. Thanks to you -- we did not have to! We're back home now with memories to last a lifetime.

My dog Venice and I survived
a horrible fatal accident which unfortunately killed my father. After this ugly tragedy, I went back to my home in Southern California, but Venice had to stay with my family in Boston, Massachusetts, while I pieced my life back together. When the time came to get my dog back I did not know where to begin. Luckily, I found Happy Tails Travel on the Internet and gave them a call. I spoke with a woman named Bridget. She answered all of my questions and treated my situation as if it were her own. Happy Tails Travel took care of everything and made Venice's long trip from Boston, Massachusetts, to Long Beach, California, a lot less stressful for everyone. You can't put a price on peace of mind. Thank You Happy Tails Travel.

The photo is of Venice at present and as a puppy.

Our Dog Has Arrived!!
Thank you for all your help getting Gemma to us. Here are some great pictures of Bassa, whom we now call "Gemma" (she is such a little jewel!). A week after her arrival, she is now very comfortable with all of us and really having a great time taking long walks and picking my son up from school, and even going to work with me sometimes.

We were very worried, as we had adopted her out-of-state and had never flown one of our pets before. It was very important to us that she arrive safe and not stressed, as she had never even met us! There was also concern about airline policies and temperature, as it had been very cold in the Northeast where she was going. But everything ran smoothly as could be. Her flight was even 10 minutes early. When we got her home, after a long day of travel, she slept through the night, just like a perfect baby. I felt so much better about the whole thing for having hired Happy Tails, and I'm sure Gemma did too. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks again,

Thank you very much for all of your help in bringing our family member "Frodo" back to his loved ones. We really missed him a lot. Take care and may God bless.....

Bridget,
I want to thank you for making Bailey's trip from Minnesota to Arizona so worry free. I wish the rest of our move could have been so easy! Any time there was an issue to overcome, you were right on top of things and had the situation resolved before we could blink an eye. We had no idea how much actually went into relocating our pet, but you have all the best knowledge and connections to get the job done!! Now we know who to call if Bailey needs to do any more flying in the future. Thanks again for all your help.

I am still amazed that this all came together as smoothly as it did.  From the time I made the decision to adopt this pup sight unseen on Thursday until he was at my door on Saturday evening, Bridget was with me every step of the way.  

As I had never done a virtual adoption before, I was very anxious and way out of my comfort zone.  Not to mention the travel from the shelter in rural TN to San Francisco was no easy task. Bridget was absolutely wonderful, compassionate, and patient with me.  And even though we didn't even know if anyone could be found to get him to the airport for his flight until the night before, she remained calm and was ready to make other arrangements if need be.  I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needed to make this stressful decision because Bridget takes all the worry out of it.  And although I'm sleep deprived, I'm beyond grateful for the new light in my life, who still remains nameless!

Happy Tails made all the air travel arrangements for our two cats on our big move to Hawaii. Everything went so smoothly.

Thirty minutes after their plane landed in Honolulu, Autumn and Olive were with us again. Things could not have gone better. Thanks for making our move easier.

I also wanted to let you know it was your testimonials and quick response to my initial inquiry that sold me on using your service over the others.

Thanks for the cats' safe journey to Columbia from Phoenix! They're just fine, eating and talking as usual... I'm attaching a photo of them together: Lola (calico), Cass (brown striped) and Helen (grey) in that order.

Thanks for the smooth arrangements - I'll be recommending Happy Tails to
everyone!

Many thanks to you for your great service and attention to detail. Philip
came to us without a hitch! He has quickly settled in to his new home and
seems quite happy with his new friends! I wanted Philip's trip to be smooth and easy for him and I didn't have time to prepare, not only his flight arrangements, but the arrangements to have him driven from where he was being housed to the airport. We made a call to Bridget, and she was in frequent contact with the people who worked at the facility where he was being housed, rearranged his flight when she heard the Houston airport was to be closed due to weather and even had a nice little toy and bandanna as a gift for Philip, when he arrived!

The whole arrangement worked out flawlessly and was more service had I anticipated. Bridget is a pet's best travel resource!

With tons of gratitude,

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of mine and Nero's hearts. Your travel arrangements were absolutely perfect. For the several weeks prior to our departure from Los Angeles, almost up to the date of departure on July 4th, your kind words and reassuring demeanor made our trip so much easier. Nero had never traveled by air before and this made me extremely nervous... I can only imagine what he was feeling as he was led away "behind bars". Upon our arrival in Boston, I drove to the cargo area and there he was, sitting in his crate and smiling (yes, dogs DO smile). I was never so glad to see my dog, and by the lick-fest that followed, he felt the same.  
 
I fully intend to recommend Happy Tails Travel to anyone who asks, and would not hesitate to personally use your company again.  

PS: Here is a photo of Nero and me; he is happily showing off his Happy Tails Travel bandana gift!

Thanks again,

I want to thank you for helping us on such short notice. We appreciate all you’ve done to help us get Anna here to join Puffy safe and sound during this very trying and stressful time. And although the circumstances of Anna’s coming to join our family are very sad, I believe she’ll be very happy in the end.

Here are a few quick pictures from this morning. It was tough getting all three to sit still for very long.

Aloha, Happy Tails... After deciding to move to the Big Island, I was faced with the daunting task of getting my four kitties over there.

I had gotten all the paperwork ready, the waiting period was over... however the logistics of the airlines, the stress of plane transfers, etc was becoming miloverwhelming to the point of "how on earth can I do this myself?"

Bridget made the move absolutely seamless, stress-free and reassured me each step of the way. From coordinating the kenneling, to scheduling the best flights for them, to weather checks, to scheduling with associates in Honolulu to get them through quarantine and on the flight to Kona. To be able to set up our house for them before their arrival made ALL the difference our cat's and our comfort.

They (and we!) are loving Island life. If we do ever decide to head back to the Mainland, Bridget will be the first person I'll call!

Aloha Bridget, Just a note to thank you so much for the very easy move of our cats Tosh & Abby from Southern California to Kona, Hawaii.  We especially appreciated the quick response to our quote request and thoroughness of the Pet Travel Packet.  This was our 3rd time moving the kitties back and forth between Hawaii and the mainland and it was by far the best experience yet!

I want to thank you again for making arrangements to get Samantha to Kauai safely and for alleviating our fears about her travel. It was wonderful to have someone experienced take care of the details and provide all of the necessary information in a comprehensive package. We have talked to many folks who made their own arrangements and, in some cases, the trips did not go nearly as smoothly as Samantha's. We have given information on "Happy Tails Travel" to several people and highly recommend that they contact you for their pet's travel.

Samantha, Larry and I have adjusted well to our new home. Samantha has become quite the "aloha girl". She loves being at the beach and running on the golf course behind our house. She's adjusted to the heat and seems to like her new house. I don't know if you've been to Kauai but we have wild chickens pretty much everywhere. Samantha loves to watch the chickens but has been a good girl and kept her distance from them. Every night after dark she watches the geckos on the screens - it's like her big screen TV.Thank you again, for your help!!!

It has been one week since Molly the Mastiff has arrived safely at our home in NJ. We were so impressed with your services and really appreciate how you kept in touch with us throughout the transfer process. We would highly recommend you to others who might be searching how to transport their beloved pets.

Thank you again for bringing Molly to us. We think she is terrific and she kinda likes us too!

You have done really well! Thank you so much for arranging everything to transport Phishbone. It was rather sudden notice but you were able to make it happen in a few days! You picked everything perfectly from the right sized dog cage, a transporter from the dog kennel to the airport, a health certificate, finding the best cargo for pets to even arranging the ideal time of arrival to Los Angeles Airport so that I was able to pick him up right after work. You were always available for questions and called me everyday to let me know how everything was going. I could not have asked for more. Phisbone and I thank you. PS: I have also sent a photo of Phishbone with one of the gifts you sent to him.

I want to thank you and your company again for taking the time to help me with the move of my father's dog, Lexi. While I was back in Delaware helping my father after his colon cancer operation. I had to take over his care. But with that I had to move him along with Lexi to my home in CA. I had tried to get Lexi on the plane but she was way to big to carry her on the plane. I was in a panic as to how I could then get Lexi out with us all in CA. I was talking to the moving company that I had hired to do the furniture more. And my rep suggested HappyTailsTravel.com. The best suggest anyone could have made to me. I went on the website filled out a short form and within 12 hours I got a call from Bridget. Who took over all the preparations of Lexi's trip. The cost was minimal compared the nervous breakdown I would have had if I had done it myself. Bridget provided me with all the information I needed to make Lexi's trip the easiest thing I had to do. Compared to the whole house move from the East coast to the West coast. But we have finally gotten the furniture delivered on July 3rd. This picture was taken after our dinner on the 4th. Now all we have to do is finish unpacking boxes. Help, the worse chore of moving is cleaning up after and arranging the house. Thanks Bridget for Lexi's safe and uneventful trip to her new home in CA.

As I mentioned in my voicemail,
we are all safe and sound in Minnesota!!

The kitties actually took very well to the whole process and, by this morning, were eating, drinking and using the litter box like normal.

They were a little more whiny during the night than normal and Dex is being VERY needy...it's really adorable...but, other than that, they're doing exceptionally well.

Thank you again for all your help, guidance and support. We definitely couldn't have done it without you!!

Just wanted to thank you again
for your assistance in transporting Princess to our new home in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I would highly recommend your company's services in transporting beloved animals from one destination to another. I was very anxious about trusting someone that I do not know with so many details and the well being of our Pug with a flight from Florida to Arizona (over 2,000 miles). You made it worry free for me and that is what I really wanted. Our Pug, Princess, arrived safe, sound, and happy to see us. Thank you Happy Tails Travel!

Sincerely,

Hello from the Bay Area!
This note is long overdue. I want to THANK YOU for making it so easy for me to bring Barkley from Washington DC to San Francisco this past April.

There was a whole lot of anxiety
building for months before for me, with thoughts of my dogs making the long haul from Las Vegas Nevada to Hawaii. The trip went smooth and Koa, Puna and Irie are very happy that they are now cruising in their new backyard playground in Hilo, Hawaii. I am so happy to have them safe in their new permanent home.

Thank you,

Bringing Bowser to the UK
from Seattle was a very important move for us because we weren’t just bringing him to the UK we were also adopting him and formally welcoming him into our family. Happy Tails gave us the personal touch and professional experience that made us feel that Bowser was safe and handled gently from Seattle to London. The day he arrived was one of the happiest days of our lives.

Bridget,
I just wanted to thank you so much for all your work in getting my 14 "babies" from Hawaii to Texas.

It was a challenge and an ordeal for all of us but I could not have done it without you. They are all well and doing fine in their new home and we will be joining them next week. Thanks again for all your help and we would recommend you to anyone. I have included a photo of some of our babies right after they arrived.

We would highly recommend
flying your pet with "Happy Tails" anywhere and at anytime.

If it were not for this GREAT organization, our cat would have not made it. Due to the hottest time of the year, no one would fly him from Buffalo to Arizona. Happy Tails was our ONLY hope and we cannot speak more highly of their services. Nicky's travel plans were taken care of with perfection from his airline preparations to his delivery right to our front door.

PS: I have included a before flight and after flight photo of Nicky enjoying his bandana and cat toy!
