Featured Testimonial
"Kim at Happy Tails Travel is an absolute miracle worked. My 125 lb wolfhound more than exceeds normal size regulations, but she found me a kennel AND an airline that could fly him from Maui to Alaska - something that no other pet relocation service was able to offer."

Military Pet Move Made Easy!
A military PCS can be an exciting time for families, but also daunting. You must pack up your life and move across the country, or sometimes across the globe, to a place where you don’t know the people or surroundings. The last thing you need to worry about is how to get your pet to their home safely and trying to sort out the rules and regulations! With everything to do, often a pet is the biggest concern of the whole move. Sometimes it is best to hire a professional to step in and hold your hand throughout the process.
At Happy Tails Travel, we are ready to move your pet by air with care to your final destination so you don’t have to spend any time worrying about your pet, and you can focus on everything else that needs your attention.
We are experienced with military families and understand the demands that are needed, and provide you with the details you need to know from start to finish for your pet to travel safely. A professional pet shipper can also assist you with all of the information needed to buy the proper crate that is airline acceptable, and walk you through the important acclimation and preparation process, since pets cannot be sedated for a flight.
Companies such as Happy Tails Travel know how to navigate the restrictions of the airline to research which flight is going to be best for your pet, and share the options with you to find the best match for the most direct, least expensive option. Whether your travel orders are domestic or international, we provide you the specific documents needed for your dog or cats travel, and give you a timeline specific to your pet’s travel date so you know exactly what to do and when. We are experienced in working with your veterinarian (whether regular or military) to ensure they know their role in the process, including helping you with the USDA endorsement, if your pet is traveling abroad.
We assist with any branch of military PCS such as Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard. We are also experienced in assisting with government personnel and non active duty PCS moves. We are happy to talk one on one with anyone that may be helping you on the other end, such as a sponsor or government official so they know how to prepare for the pet’s arrival. If you don’t have a contact on the arriving end and need help with customs or transport to your base or residence, we've got you covered there, too!
For more information, please check out www.happytailstravel.com or give us a call at 800-323-1718 or 520-299-3315. We are always ready to discuss how we can help you to provide a smooth move for any member of your pet family.
