Client Testimonials

I hope things are going well for you.
I just wanted to let you know how much my dad (Clare) & I appreciated all your help with getting Dad's cat, Misty, transported from Clearwater, Florida to Phoenix, Arizona. Every detail was taken care of, and Misty was comfortable and happy every step of the way.

Thank you, too, for all the TLC from you, and your calls and reassurances. Here is a of photo of Dad and Misty in their new apartment. I would highly recommend you and your services to anyone in need of transporting a pet.

Bridget,
I really appreciated your pet travel services. If it were not for your help, I don't know what I could have done. I'd probably would have had to board them and then drive back to NC to transport them to my new home in TX. It was great that you could handle all of my five pets at once.

Although I did not make it clear that I myself wouldn't be transporting my pets to the airport, you took care of that matter immediately and had someone do it the very next day. Bobby, Sparky, Fluffy, Tux and Taffy all looked fine and happy when I went to visit them after their flight from NC to TX. The kennel you recommended (where they remained boarded until my home was ready) treated them well and they always looked good whenever I visited them there.

Thank you for caring about animals and for providing this much needed service! I would certainly recommend your service to anyone looking for pet transportation.

Sincerely,

Dear Happy Tails Travel:
YAY! It sounds like Molly's relocation went perfectly and that she is safe and sound in "daddy's" arms...

We thank you for all of the special attention and care you put into seeing Molly off to her new home and we would gladly serve as references should you ever have a need. Be well and many merry wishes to you and yours during this holiday season.

Dear HTT,
In October of 2002, we relocated for a two year assignment in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I was horrified at the thought of shipping my dog so far away, and had no idea how to proceed.

The folks at Happy Tails were professional, courteous and very sympathetic to our needs and the safety of our dog, Guinness.  I had interviewed many different animal handling companies, but Happy Tails Travel was by far the best and only logical choice for us.  I will recommend you to anyone I know who is relocating a pet.

Thank you for taking care of us at such a hectic time. 

Best Regards,
John and Anne S., and Guinness

Dear Bridget,
I was truly impressed with the professional approach Happy Tails gave to me and Casper. They pulled out all the stops after I contacted them to arrange a flight from the USA to the UK and got me the best deal possible. If it had not been for Happy Tails I would have either had to leave my dog behind or had him put to sleep and neither of these two options were acceptable to me.

The staff did their utmost... when I emailed or called asking what was going on or if there had been any progess - they were always happy to help and give me advice. I don't plan on taking Casper abroad again, but if I do, then I would certainly use Happy Tails!

Thanks again,

Truly yours,

Dear Bridget,

I just wanted to thank you again for helping to bring Curly Q into my life. She and my older Jack Russell, Wiley, have become great playmates and friends. She is happy, healthy, and very friendly. I named her Curly Q because of her curly tail. She seemed to respond to the name more than to "Brianna" which was the name the shelter had given her.

It is a wonderful travel service you provide for pets! I couldn't have adopted her with out you. She is a complete joy!

Thank You,

Dear Happy Tails,
On November 29th, a Happy Tails Pet Travel Specialist came and picked up Zaily, my Dodson Shepherd Mix. I was so nervous about her trip from Tucson, AZ to Dulles, VA. She was so professional and gentle with Zaily, I felt at ease and I knew Zaily would be fine.

Zaily was taken to the pet hotel for 2 days then escorted to the airport. Zaily is now used to the change in weather and her new house. I would use Happy Tails again in an instant. Thank you.

Dear Happy Tails,
Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful job for Vanilla, Missy and Emma; we are all now in England, and waiting for Emma to be here in December. Missy and Nilla seem very happy in their new home, although Nilla is taking longer, as she is 15 years old so I guess that is to be expected. I would recommend you very highly, thank you so much.

Thank you!
I found Happy Tails through an Internet search. What luck!!! We were facing a big move to a foreign country (Germany), and wanted our dog Sasha to go too. She was a stray that we found in California, or I should say she found us. She turned out to be the best dog we have ever had. Giving her up was not an option. She was going whether she liked it or not. I called Happy Tails and spoke to a Pet Travel Specialist. Her knowledge is great. She always kept me informed of what was going on. She had a lot of work to do and she accomplished it well beyond my expectations. Sash had to stay back in Arizona at first, because it was too hot to fly her. When the tragedy happened on September 11th, I was afraid that I would never see Sash again. My Pet Travel Specialist reassured me that she would get her here to Germany. On October 22nd, Sash arrived. Her arrangements were the best. She got here the same happy go lucky dog that I last saw her. That is why I can't say enough good things about Happy Tails. They helped to make our big move easier by taking such good care of our dog.

I would recommend to anyone, if you want the best for your pet when it travels, Happy Tails is the company to use. Their hard work and understanding of how much people love their pets goes far beyond words.

Dear Happy Tails,
My husband and I feel fortunate that we "found" Bridget Monrad and Happy Tails Travel to escort our new puppies on their journey to Hawaii.

Traveling to Hawaii is very complicated and we had a great deal of anxiety about how to accomplish this task. We put our trust in Bridget and were rewarded with puppies safely delivered. Neither puppy was stressed or traumatized even though they had to travel for two days from the breeders home in California. All along the route we were contacted by either Bridget or her excellent staff. We were thrilled with Jackie Kupau of Little Friends Pet Care of Honolulu for arranging the Hawaii portion of their journey and for greeting them with Aloha in Honolulu on the last part of their journey to their new home on the Big Island. A Big deal for them and a Big deal for us. Bridget and her staff are totally professional, knowledgeable and also very kind. We think Bridget, her staff and Happy Tails Travel are the only way to fly!

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.

Just a quick note of thanks to you
and a hearty endorsement for Happy Tails Travel. Our treasured Brittany, Luke the Wonder Dog, has arrived safe and sound on the East Coast as promised.

Your detailed expertise and careful planning for his trip was invaluable in this entire process. We really appreciated your careful monitoring of the actual voyage, and gentle insistence on the various details of travel preparation. Happy Tails has provided us a great service at a fair price, you can't ask for more than that. We look forward to working with you again.

Dear Happy Tails,
We just wanted to thank you for making sure our "big boy" Owen made it safely across country.

When we searched for a service that could handle a 200-lb. English Mastiff, it wasn't easy to find someone who could help us out, and who would do so without trying to take advantage of our irregular situation!  You made everything simple and set our minds at ease throughout the process.  Owen is safe and sound.  We're so grateful that you were able to make the process efficient and seamless.

Dear Happy Tails,
Hello! We wanted to update you on Joy, the little pit bull you helped us rescue from LA County Animal Control.

She's doing wonderfully! We all love her sooo much, she's really a part of our family. She sleeps with one of us almost everynight and she even does well in her crate now that she knows we'll always be there for her and we won't leave her. Hopefully she'll be starting obedience classes very soon which should be fun for her and us! Thank you so much for all your help, she couldn't have gotten here so safe and sound without your help. PS: We love the name you gave her, as it fits her perfectly!

Dear Bridget,
So how does one import a Polish Breed Doberman Pup from Warsaw???

I had absolutely no experience in this endeavor, and neither had my friend Gunter.  We were to believe that my new pup would fly directly to Rochester, NY. That was not the case!!!  The breeder gave us a list of those agencies that would facilitate transport.  I looked over the web addresses, and only one firm would return my call -- Happy Tails Travel.  Bridget and I spoke on many occasions.

I left it all to Happy Tails Travel, and the outcome couldn't have been better! Happy Tails cleared the hurdles and made sure Little Olaf Dumas Cutter hit the USA shores on a great run.  Happy Tails reported to me every step of the way, answering all the questions, and dealing with all the surprise situations.  Olaf arrived on schedule and in good spirits. It worked out well for all of us.

And this was an Experience!!!  With a wonderful Happy Ending, very much thanks to Happy Tails Travel! I highly recommend if you have a pup to move, call Happy Tails Travel, it was worth the dime. You can see all of the pics of Olaf Dumas Cutter.

Dear Bridget,
I can't tell you how much we appreciated all of your hard work and dedication. You really went above and beyond anything we could have expected... we got Josh to Guam safe and sound and happy... I hope I can call you again when it's time to move off the island! If you ever need any references feel free to give out my name and numbers. If you ever make it to Guam, you have a place to stay and a built-in tour guide!

Dear Bridget,
Otto and Noir arrived safely. Both cats are now happily reunited with Larry me. They spend their time as usual, but now have all kinds of windows to look out and survey the neighborhood. We both really appreciated the care you gave the boys and we'll be sure to give your name out to friends. In fact we did give your info to Mark's Moving in Glendale. Moving is such a stressful time for everyone involved and you all made it so much easier!!!!! Take Care.

We contacted them, and they helped us with Muffin's move to Ireland. Muffin arrived early this morning and is doing her six month quarantine at Breeny Kennels, just outside of Belfast. Happy Tails Travel did an awesome job and was on top of everything all they way. I highly recommend them!!!

Dear Bridget,
Thanks so much for taking care of all of the details involved in getting my cat, Mushroom, from Annapolis, MD to her new home in Ouray, CO. You made it a pleasant and smooth transition for her and me. I was pleased to have received a call from the pet transporter, letting me know that all was well when she was picked up in Denver, and that she was enroute to my brother who would be caring for her. Cheers,

Dear Bridget,
Thank you so much for your services and all your special attention in moving Traveler to PA. Thanks also to Jeff & Kim of Guardian Angels for picking Traveler up at Apollo Boarding in Glendale. As we reported by phone, Traveler arrived in good shape. (...) She has adjusted well to her new home in PA and particularly enjoys exploring the boxes we still haven't unpacked in the garage. She knows there's some of her stuff in there!

Dear Bridget,
Just wanted to say thank you again for all the help on getting Fossie to Colorado. She made it there safe and sound. This is one of the hardest things I ever had to do, adopting her out.

Dear Bridget,
I was very pleased with Happy Tails' service. I had to relocate for my job 2200 miles away and could not take Sissy with me. After the World trade Center attack, I all but gave up hope for getting my kitty back. At that time, I saw September 11, in addition to being a personal tragedy for all of us, as another personal loss in that I lost getting back my only live-in family member in the whole world. Then, just as I was about to give up hope, someone told me about Happy Tails and everything changed. Thanks to Happy Tails, I have Sissy back with me. It's as if she never left, and she's sure glad to be home. It's like getting a lost family member back ! Their service was efficient and Sissy got flown to me without a single stumbling block. I am grateful to Happy Tails for assisting in getting her back to me.
