29 11:18:06
Generally a pet is very valuable to its owner in the sentimental way as they are considered as a part of the family. And when it is needed to move your furry or feathered friend, the owners are fully concerned about their safety and well-being. Here a pet owner needs the services of a licensed pet taxi service to ensure the comfortable transportation service of the pet.

While choosing a suitable pet travel agent, you should look out for following things to figure out their level of service:

* Do they have DEFRA license?
* Do they have proper pet insurance plans?
* What is their prior experience with your breed of animals?
Different agencies provide different pet travel schemes. For short distance, it can be the simple door to door service. In the case of long distance travel the service may include air conditioned van, food, exercise and other inclusive treatments also. Mainly a pet travel agent may offer following services:
* If your pet does not have its own per kennel, the agent will arrange the suitable one for it.
* If a pet needs a waiting time, agency may arrange the quarantine, in this case.
* When the pet is to be transported for any exhibition as a dog show, it may need special treatment such as cleaning, nutrition and activity, the agency may also arrange this high-class service.

When the date and destination of transporting the pet are finalized, the agent registers the pet courier to set the suitable trip near your route. Here you have to compare the different offers and credentials that are being provided by the agencies. You also can ask direct questions to the driver. And only if you are satisfied with the courier, you can accept the quote and set your pet moving.
In case, when the pet is going to reach the destination without you, you or the authorized person of the pet travelling agency need to arrange boarding for it. If a rabbit, gerbil or any other rodent is imported, the general quarantine time is 4 months. During this period, you can visit your pet at quarantine. If you are importing a new pet, get a thorough check overit and make sure that everything is up to the mark.

After all the procedures and regulations, when your pet is with you, please do not forget to give your feedback to your pet travel agency.
