Colin and Laura

“Colin is an amazing dog, and is my best mate.”

Laura ’s adorable Dachshund travelled from Brisbane to Edinburgh with Petraveller. Here is his pet travel story.

Laura always had the idea of an ideal dog. She even had a perfect name in mind before getting one. Laura says, “Colin was bought for me as a gift for my birthday seven years ago. I had always wanted a sausage dog called Colin.”

Colin is a very loving and fun dog. Laura says, “He is an amazing dog and is my best mate.” Colin craves for attention. Laura adds, “I’m pretty sure he thinks he is human most of the time because he loves attention and affection. He needs a lot of love all of the time.”

A single parent who lives with Colin and her young son, Laura, was moving back home to the UK to be closer to family. Laura says, “I missed my family, and I felt we would have more support back in the UK.”

Laura chose Petraveller to relocate her pet from Brisbane to Edinburgh because of the good reviews. Colin needed to be treated with special care because of a health condition. She says, “Colin had back surgery less than a year ago and needs to be handled very gently. He can’t climb stairs or jump around. He also can be quite nervous at times.”

Colin was an absolute sweetheart and behaved very well during his long flight home. He is now settling into life in the UK. Laura says, “Colin already has a favourite chair and loves exploring his new surroundings.”

Laura was very impressed with the service and care Petraveller provided Colin. She says, “I would absolutely recommend Petraveller to everyone and will use them again in the future if needed. Petraveller did a truly excellent job!”

Thank you, Laura, for trusting us with sweet Colin. Here’s to great experiences to you and your family in Edinburgh!
