Nick flew Bob and Dave to Melbourne at the end of last year. They had to stay in Syndey quarantine becuase Melbourne was full.
Hope you are well and had a good Christmas and New Year. Just letting you know that I picked up Bob and Dave from Sydney quarantine yesterday and they are back in Melbourne and settling in well.
I decided to fly up to Sydney and fly them back on Qantus...
Thanks for all your help in getting them over so quickly.
Dave Cash is a DJ on BBC radio Kent and he brought in Mr Beesely last week into Gatwick:
All went well with this shipment and Dave Cash and his wife were very pleased with everything here and in Florida..... to the radio show and he talked quite a bit about bringing Mr Beeseley his Jack Russell home to the UK and thanked everyone at the ARC and British Airways here and in Tampa- very pleased with the way his little dog was cared for.
Charlotte came in during the very busy periods at Heathrow:
"I just wanted to say a big thank you for the safe delivery of our cat Charlotte yesterday. She's settling in really well and we're thrilled to have her back with us where she belongs. We much appreciate all your help and that of all concerned at JCS Livestock."
Griffe recently came into the office on his way to Australia:
Lindsey has been helping some Bulldogs get to Australia. We like to ship snub-nosed breeds via Canada to give them a nice layover. It's a longer trip, but by breaking the journey up they don't struggle so much with their snuffles.
"i would like to especially thank Lindsey for all her hard work she has done for us and everybody at jcs who is helping molly and baileys trip downunder to be a safe one..cos their mummy is sat here worried and so nervous for them but i know they will be loved by all who meet them and will take care of them till the family can be re-united..xxxx"
Lee recently helped a lady move to Ireland with her Lovebirds in October:
"...part that your employee (Lee) had to play in getting me out of that predicament. I will never forget what he did which far surpassed the call of duty and left me feeling very touched and practically overwhelmed. Also, relieved.
..Ultimately, he thought up a strategy that has worked very well for both the birds and myself. I get the birds tomorrow and my new (sic) job is looking very promising although it is early days as yet...
..the birds, all being well, may live for the next nine years and possibly longer. They will bring me a lot of pleasure in that time as they are not only beautiful and very nice-natured but also tame/loving."
Mamie and Bonnie are regular fliers to and from the USA..
"Just wanted to let you know how well it all went tonight!! I have just returned from picking them up in Charlotte and they are the best I have seen them after this trip - very settled, a little thirsty and hungry but happy in themselves.
Thank you for all your help and efforts on our behalf..."
We flew Flik and Saffy to New Zealand earlier in the year, wrestling with the new requirements:
"Flik and Saffy have been on my parents Farm in NZ for nearly a month now and have really settled in well as you will see from the photos. Thanks again for making their trip less stressful for us. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I hear of wanting to move their animals abroad."
Nice to hear from a regular client via Facebook:
"I have no hesitation in recommending JCS and do so regularly. They first brought two Manchester Terrier girls across from New York to England for me. The whole importing process was made so simple to complete as JCS did all the hardwork for me. So far, Shelby and Dixie came to England in January 09, Nigel went to New York in July 0...9, Merlin went to New York in May 10 and Zoe has just flown to Melbourne with her sister due to fly to Texas next week. All of them arrived super fit and happy without any problems whatsoever. Thank you specially to Lindsey and Lee for all your hardwork"
Some of the Canadian Dog Agility team came in during May:
"Thank you for all of your help getting the Canadian dogs in and out of England.
Everyone arrived safely and went home happy.
We couldn’t have done it without you."
From our Facebook page:
Barney flew out to the USA at the end of May: "Thanks JCS - one happy dog, safe and sound at his summer home!"
The Morris family moved Joy and Will to Hong Kong: "We've moved countries many times but it's always stressful when it comes to the furry members of the family. Our contact at JCS, Lindsey, kept us fully informed and when John picked up our two dogs on the big day we knew they were in good hands. Thank you to everyone who helped make our overseas move happen. Nothing is impossible when you find the right people to help you. "
Greta flew to Atlanta in May 2011
"..we had a great flight experience with you. A special thank-you to your staff who answered every one of our questions and helped us after hours. I could tell everyone at JCS loves animals and is careful to ensure they have a a good flight".
Dougal flew to Dubai in May 2011
"Just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help in getting Dougal over to Dubai.... He loves his new garden and digging in the sand!"
Will and Joy flew to Hong Kong in May 2011
"many thanks for your help.. they arrived safe and sound about 5 min behind us... so unbelievably good timing!... pic attached of Willem enjoying the view from his new temporary home!"
These dogs came into the UK from Perth in April 2011
"Just to say thank you for all your help in relocating my two dogs. They are happy and very healthy running and jumping around their new home and do not seem bothered they just flew 24 hours round to the other side of the world. Like many people said to us humans that make the journey so tense with worry, my dogs didn't care as long as we were the to meet and greet them."
Bella flew in to London in April 2011
"Thanks for your help with Bella - papers were all in order, everything went very smoothly and she is settling in to her new flat in London."
CJ and Ollie came in from Australia in 2010
C J and Ollie just wanted to let us know that they've settled in- and as you can see they have certainly made themselves at home!
They came in on the Pet Travel Scheme from Oz, which meant they've avoided quarantine thanks to following the necessary protocol. They were very pleased with our service at JCS Livestock and the help provided by the Animal Reception Centre at Heathrow.
Izzy flew to Canada with her owners in 2010.
Working in tandem with Relocation Nova Scotia, JCS Livestock helped to get Izzy over to Canada to her new home earlier this month. As you can see, they've all settled in well. Like all owners, John and Kevin were anxious about Izzy's trip, but Debbie was able to reassure them and was also able to get Izzy on the same flight as her owners.
Relocation Nova Scotia were able to help with the rest of their move, and with JCS looking after Izzy's part of the trip, the whole move went smoothly.
In John's words: "thank you and all your team at JCS for taking such good care of our little Izzy duringher time with you and her flight to Halifax. We were more anxious about Izzy than all the things we had to deal with but the relief once we had her back in our arms was unbelievable."
"We would like to inform you that kindness and professionalism shown to us when making the booking and sorting out the paperwork was first class."
We're so pleased to hear this- we pride ourselves in our compassion and our professionalism.
John was kind enough to let us know some information about how to register dogs on arrival in Halifax-
Take your paperwork to a vet (there's no need to take your dog) - pets that are microchipped and have a pet passport will sail through the paperwork. If your dog has been neutered, provide evidence.
There is a graded dog licence fee, depending on the type of dog and whether or not they are neutered. Izzy had been spayed and is not classed as a "dangerous dog" so her licence was the cheapest at CAD $15.
Dogs must be on a leash at all times in the Halifax Regional Municipality unless in an area that specifically states otherwise. Identification discs must also be worn (these include the licence number and are supplied by the municipality).
"So thanks again to JCS and Relocation Nova Scotia"
Enki the cat flew from the UK to Gabon in November 2010
"We arrived in Libreville yesterday. I didn't have any problems retrieving our cat so I'd like to thank you for the excellent service. Moving homes is stressful enough without having to worry whether Enki would arrive safely at his destination.
I know he was in good hands and I really appreciated having regular updates about the status of his journey. I am extremely pleased with how efficient and professional your company has been and I would definatley recomend you. Enki is adjusting very well to his new environment and climate although he is a bit overwhelmed by the presence of the "little zoo" we have at home (4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 parrots, one turtle). I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for him :)"
