"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!"

Star is settling in very nicely. We were extremely impressed with how organized and professional you and all of your agents were throughout the entire process. I never could have managed everything on my own. Thank you very much!

Pepita is doing well and adjusting very well. She looks out the window and listens to the birds in the yard.
This was a struggle to arrange getting her to Hawaii with all the requirements of the State and the distance Pepita needed to travel. I am so thankful of your service as your service took care of all the arrangements to make it happen and her arrival safe.
Thank you again,

Boba is doing great. It was indeed a smooth experience. Our worst fears came true with the last minute heat embargo, but you found a way to get Boba here. We highly appreciate you and Aaron!

My experience with Happy Tails has been phenomenal!
My son used your services in the past to send 2 of his dogs to Hawaii, so I felt confident when I contacted you for assistance.
Though this was a stressful process for me, Kim made each step easy by always providing the needed information and reassurance when I had questions. LOTS of questions! Kim, I am very for your patience & assistance. I felt confident when Cody arrived at our home to gather Juno & her crate for the trek to JFK! He provided updates & pictures to allow me to follow Juno’s journey to NY!
I felt confident when Juno arrived in Honolulu that all would go well with her inspection & rabies documentation, and she passed that hurdle with flying colors!
5,800 miles, 6 states, 2 plane flights in cargo & my sweet, 10 year pup arrived safe & sound to our new home in Hilo, Hawaii!
We are so grateful! Thank you, again!

Maya is happy and settling in amazingly!! All the paper work and vet visits were a breeze with Kim's assistance. There was a minor hiccup getting her on board but thankfully Kim was able to figure it out and kept amazing communication throughout, even through the time difference. Once we landed I received a call saying Maya is doing well and waiting for me to pick her up! It all went so smooth and I recommend Happy Tails Travel to anyone wanting to ship their pet baby. Couldn't be happier with all the help and attentiveness i received.
Thank you for all the hard work!

Brady did make it to Hawaii safely, and he is settling in very nicely.
I cannot say enough about you and your team. You provided an excellent service for myself and Brady, making sure that he got here safely and making me feel at ease.
Kim- You made me it to where I had no worries about Brady having everything that he needed to be a direct airport release, and that he would arrive here safely. You answered all of my questions and made the whole process flawless for me. You are amazing and I would 100 percent use your service again for Brady.
Mia- You kept my mind at ease while traveling with Brady, I loved that you provided a google tracker so I could follows your travels. You kept me very informed about when you left VA with him, when you arrived to JFK, and when he was completely checked in.
Thank you again for everything, and for taking care of our little man. Attached is a picture of him in his Hawaii home.

PCSing from Hawaii with a pitbull is rough due to strict airline bans against snub nosed animals, but happy tails travel made it possible. My agent Kim reached out to me right away and made sure to update us every step of the way, making things super easy. Thank you guys!

Shipping my dog to Hawaii was something I was honestly dreading — the process seemed overwhelming and stressful. But Happy Tails Travel made it incredibly easy and smooth from start to finish. I truly don’t think I could have done it without them.
They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I was always informed. What really stood out was how well they took care of my dog -she was treated with immaculate care and I could tell her comfort and safety were their top priorities. They even sent me photos during her travel, which meant the world to me and really eased my nerves. Knowing she was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind.
I can't recommend Happy Tails Travel (especially Kim) enough if you're moving pets, especially somewhere as complex as Hawaii. Their professionalism, communication, and compassion made all the difference.

I can’t thank you enough for taking a huge load off of my plate during this move. From multiple flight delays you were very understanding and accommodating and for that I sincerely appreciate you. Ace landed a couple of hours before us on Monday and yesterday we went visit him. Due to you being so straight forward he only have to quarantine for 3 days and we will be picking him up on Thursday.
Mia was also appreciated as she drove down to Chesapeake, Virginia and straight to Boston, Massachusetts so he could board his flight to Honolulu, Hawaii. The Parker family will always sing your praises and recommend your company to any of our shipmates looking for help with moving their pet.
Thank you,

Thank you so much for checking in on us! Coffee did just fine.
I think maybe the hardest part was getting her to go into the van from our Honolulu house to the boarder.
They texted me on Friday and said she had given the driver some trouble getting into the crate, so Hawaiian didn’t make her get out of it at cargo. Thank goodness! They even let her keep her teddy bear with her.
I didn’t hear anything else until she got dropped off, but Alex said that was just fine.
She’s getting used to things here.
Thank you!

She's doing great. She's in Texas where I will join her in a few days. The process was great and very organized. While Cali was eager to get out of the crate, the service was great given the distance she traveled.

Thank you so very much for your help. It was very comforting knowing that someone was watching over Archer while we were also flying home. Having you get his flight scheduled so that we could schedule ours was extremely helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I’m glad you were able to relieve some of my stress!

Cassadie is doing terrific. Loves it out here. Was none the worst for where, even though she had to stay overnight at the airport. Once again, thank you so much for everything that you did and making this as painless as possible for both of us.

Both Jameson and Mai Tai are doing perfectly fine. I would like to thank you and the Happy Tails Travel team for the excellent service once again. I have referred many colleagues to you for the safe travels of their 4-legged family members. Pam and I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for us and our pets.Outstanding job,

Happy Tails - Lizzie in particular - were essential for my relocation from Hawaii to the mainland USA. They accommodated several changes I needed to make in my travel arrangements, were always immediately available - even on a Sunday when my pet flew - and provided everything I needed well ahead of time to make the check in process effortless. When my pet (an adult dog) was picked up from the airport, he was happy and healthy. Contrasting that to when we previously moved to Hawaii using another company, the cost with that company was about 5x more expensive (no exaggeration) and my pet needed a couple of weeks to recover to his normal, happy, energetic self. Suffice to say, I will plan to use Happy Tails for any future overseas relocations.
