Taking 5 pets across Canada is not an easy feat! So I tried with paws en route. It was a great decision, so worth it! Devann did all the annoying paper work and bookings. All I had to do is show up! She was great. I highly recommend their services. Good luck

I recommended Paws En Route to a friend who was relocating 2 very large dogs from Hong Kong to Canada. The Paws team provided a complete door to door service flawlessly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. Thank you Paws En Route Team
