Butters, Fudge and David

“The fact that Petraveller has a zero harm rating was the biggest reason we chose them.”

This time around, we relocated two Labrador retrievers from Melbourne to their new home in Oslo. Here’s their international pet relocation story.

Butters is eleven years old, and Fudge is ten. Proud dad of the Labrador Retrievers, David recalls, “Butters has been a part of our family since she was eight weeks old and later Fudge also joined us when he was eight weeks old.” Butters is a cancer survivor and had a sizeable nasal sarcoma removed. David says, “The radiation treatment she endured has resulted in a large bare patch on her snout where fur no longer grows.”

Fudge is prone to seasonal flare-ups, particularly in summer. David says, “Her allergies mean that she should eat a low-fat diet of grain-free kibble, or simple meals like lean chicken, peas and rice. Anything fatty upsets her stomach.”

Butters is very maternal and treats Fudge like she’s her daughter. David says, “She’s a people dog, as she prefers the company of humans and probably thinks she is one.” David adds, “Fudge is a bit more outgoing when it comes to meeting other dogs, but she can be a bit awkward too. She never complains about anything, and is happiest when she’s snuggling with someone.”

David was relocating to Norway for work. He says, “There was no way we’d ever leave our pups behind. The longest we’ve been without them was five weeks, and that was too long.”

Determined to take his precious pets along, David chose Petraveller to help relocate them. He says, “The fact that Petraveller has a zero-harm rating and seem genuine in putting animals first was the biggest reason we chose them. We also chose Petraveller because of the customer service as they followed up with our questions quickly.”

Fudge and Butters had a comfortable journey to Oslo and David couldn’t be happier with Petraveller’s service. He says, “Petraveller was awesome. We never doubted that our girls were getting the utmost care and attention, and we always felt like we knew what was happening throughout the process.”

David adds, “We loved getting the constant updates, photos and video of the girls when they were in Petraveller’s care. If we ever have to travel with our pooches again, Petraveller would be the only company we'd consider.”

Thank you, David, for trusting Petraveller with your precious pets. We hope Butters and Fudge are adjusting well to their new home in Oslo.
