Pet relocation and pet travel with family is of course our specialty.

This veteran can provide you with a free consultation and free estimates, and is happy to answer any questions you have about the transportation of your pet.
Here are some of the stories of my current customers:
Dear Jerry,
Thank you for being there for us Military families!
After checking with some firms who offered 'discounts', we settled on you.
Your total charges were much less than the 'discounters'
Our dog and cat are doing great in Ramstein, Germany
Sincerely,
Sgt Millie Campbell
Dear Jerry and Action Pet
This past August, you assisted me with the transfer of my pets to the UK. Though I lived in Chicago area, I found it most helpful to use your services after all the misinformation I was receiving. I really felt so comfortable with you. You were so honest and helpful. Best to you and your company

Hello Jerry from Naha, Okinawa
A few months ago you shipped my large Dobe from Norfolk, VA to Okinawa. I had spoken with several other pet shippers in San Francisco, Texas, Florida and New York. I must say you are the ONLY one who had a true handle on the best routing, etc. The others seemed to not have ever shipped a pet to Okinawa!! It is obvious with your military background that you knew exactly what to do. I had spoken with two pet shippers in Tucson who offered 'discounts' but their prices were so high, and neither had a clue as to this way of routing. Needless to say, I am highly recommending you to ALL military.
Sincerely,
Rosemary and Len Bently

• SPECIAL NOTE: You might be led to believe that you MUST use a "Known Shipper" to ship pets (dogs, cats, birds). This is totally Not True. You can make all flight arrangements yourself, take pets to airport, yourself; or use anyone you wish. Simply contact ANY airline to confirm this. You do NOT need to provide private information to ANYONE.
• Be very CAUTIOUS as to using 3rd party pet shippers. Your cost will INFLATE considerably. They will usually end up using someone at either or both ends that you could contact directly yourself. Relocation and Moving companies will often direct you to these firms, and therefore receive 'Finders Fees'. Why should you pay these extra fees? You will easily end up paying hundreds, even thousands, of dollars MORE than you should.
• Pet Shipping and Relocation is our ONLY business. Therefore, we can concentrate on ALL aspects of pet moving and travel. My Military experience allows me more insight into military families and their pet travel needs.
The co-ordination of domestic and worldwide travel for dogs, cats and other animals is a precise science. We are proud to possess this ability.
The hundreds of military and state department families, as well as private individuals, whose pets we have helped relocate, will attest to this.
We provide complete itemization of all charges! Does our competition provide this?
We comply with all regulations of the
USDA Animal Welfare Act in all phases of our work.
