This is a question that the team at GVC believes is one of the most important to ask when considering international travel with your pet. Whilst the answer will vary for each and every pet, the reality is that relocation can be a stressful experience for most, if not all of our pets.
It is for this reason that we at GVC have made your pet’s experience and welfare our primary consideration in how we deliver our Pet Relocation Service.
By utilizing the skills and knowledge of our Fear Free Certified team and built on the foundations of GVC’s Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic status, we understand how important and beneficial it is to provide the same holistic approach of addressing the physical, mental and emotional needs of your pet so that we can create a bespoke relocation service that is designed to reduce discomfort and stress and the potential for a negative experience.
