Our Happy Customer Thoughts

★★★★★

Julia was absolutely incredible and instrumental in helping us get our little border terrier, Reyna, from Tallinn to Cape Town. We had many hurdles and panic attacks along the way, but she handled these with such grace and efficiency. She was with us each step of the way and when she says 24/7, she means 24/7. We couldn’t have asked for a better service provider and I can’t recommend her enough. She treats your pet relocation as if it were her own, and doesn’t rest until your pet is safe and sound with you. Thank you so much Fly Your Tail!

Trusted By Pet Lovers

★★★★★

We moved from California to Vietnam with our three pugs and initially thought it might be impossible because so many airlines would not accept short-nosed breeds. Fly Your Tail changed everything. Julia handled the entire process, stayed in constant communication, and made the paperwork and import process feel surprisingly smooth. Our pugs travelled LAX → Istanbul → Hanoi as live cargo, with a carefully planned long layover and larger crates for comfort. Everything cost exactly what we were quoted, and the process was essentially turnkey. The best part was that all three pugs arrived alert, energetic and healthy. If Julia had not been an option, we would have postponed or cancelled our move. For anyone relocating a brachycephalic breed, I would absolutely recommend Fly Your Tail.

Exceptional Care Every Step

★★★★★

We moved from Vietnam to China with our dog and cat, and choosing Fly Your Tail was a great decision. Julia guided us from the beginning, stayed in regular contact during a three-month delay, and clearly explained every step when it was finally time to move. She sent photos throughout the process, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and even followed up after arrival to make sure both pets were doing well. It is rare to find a company this dedicated and genuinely caring. We would not hesitate to use Fly Your Tail again.

Reliable International Pet Relocation

★★★★★

Fly Your Tail helped me relocate my poodle from Hanoi to Delhi in cabin with Vietnam Airlines. Julia guided me through the booking process, required documents, Vietnam export permit and India import permit. When I had to postpone my flight at the last minute, she handled everything calmly and helped reissue the documents without any problem. On travel day, everything went smoothly, and the clearance process in Delhi was already coordinated in advance. Very reliable service, and I would definitely recommend Fly Your Tail for international pet relocation.
