Arnie and Kelsey

“Petraveller stood out the best and most professional.”

Kelsey and her sweet Whippet x Terrier Arnie had a stress-free pet travel experience from Melbourne to Auckland during the Covid-19 pandemic. Here’s their international pet travel story.

Kelsey became a pet parent when she brought Arnie home as a puppy in November 2017. She says fondly, “Arnie is a very cuddly dog once he warms up to someone. At the start, he can be an anxious dog, especially if I am not around and can go through separation anxiety too.”

She adds, “Arnie can get a bit full-on with other dogs, but soon gets over it. He has gone to day-care and boarding kennels before and was fine. Sometimes, he jumps on people, but that is more so wanting to see if they have a treat more than anything else.”

Kelsey was moving back home to Auckland, New Zealand. She says, “I have decided to go home for a few months because of the Covid-19 pandemic and will be taking Arnie with me.”

Kelsey decided to hand over the relocation of her pet to an accredited pet transport company because relocating a pet during the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge. She looked online for pet travel companies that did international pet relocations and discovered Petraveller. Kelsey says, “After reading the reviews and watching the videos on the website, I opted to go with Petraveller as they by far stood out the best and the most professional. Deciding something like this isn’t easy when it’s your fur child!”

Arnie had an incredible journey and is enjoying his new home in Auckland. Thank you, Kelsey, for believing in Petraveller and giving us the opportunity to relocate your precious boy. We wish you happiness and many fun adventures with Arnie in New Zealand.
