We currently have two four-legged customers who were unable to finish the 180-day pre-quarantine in the US prior to going to Australia. Most people don't like the idea of their pet having to spend six months in quarantine, but it's actually not "doggy jail" like they think.
Meet George, one of our newest "expets!" He just moved from the San Francisco area to Singapore, which is always a busy destination for us! This picture was taken of George in quarantine at the Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station. New Singapore pet import rules make it possible to do a ten day quarantine, instead of the previous thirty day quarantine that was required.
My daughter is moving from CA to MD to go to college and wants to take her 3 small turtles. What is the best way to get them there? -Cathi

Hi, we are moving via car from NJ to Florida end of June. I have searched the web but cannot find the right crate to transport our 12 year old cat in. He's so good and I want him to be comfortable. Can you suggest a crate which will hold the disposable litter box and a small bowl of food and water for him. We plan to drive 12 hours a day for 2 days to get to Florida and I've checked for pet friendly hotels already along the route. Our cat is 15 lbs and tall and I want him to be able to stand and be comfortable in his crate.
