There is lots of information on the pets and animals group regarding pet relocation, many companies provide comprehensive advice so you can DIY if you prefer.

Pet Relocation companies know the red tape, the various licences and laws, customs processes and so on. Many people chose pet relocation companies to avoid further stress or additional proceedures. When relocating to another country often you have enough to do and are prepared to pay for the services of a professional company who specialise in the area to take the pressure off. The same as any other shipping company!

Personal choice, necessary for some, not others.
