Petraveller had the opportunity to relocate gorgeous Rottweiler, Flor, from Melbourne to Zurich. We spoke to Marilia about her pet and why she chose Petraveller for the pet relocation. Here’s what she has to say.
Flor has been a part of the Lagger family since November 2010, when she was only five months old. Marilia recalls, “At that time, we also had another male rottweiler who Flor quickly got attached to, they were best friends. Flor got sad when he passed away in 2014.”
In 2015, the Lagger family first moved from Brazil to Switzerland with Flor. Marilia says, “She has been following us since then. We moved from Switzerland to Belgium, then Switzerland again and then to Australia in 2016. She’s used to being in her crate while travelling by car and on planes and she has already been on three different flights. She is always fine and well-behaved during transit.”
Flor is very calm and a controlled dog. She loves cuddles from anyone. Marilia says, “In ten years we’ve never seen her angry or aggressive against anyone or any other dog. Another dog once attacked her, and she never fought back. She’s getting a bit quieter now that she’s ten years old, but still playful when she is happy and warm.”
She smiles and adds, “We always hear the same thing from everyone that met her ‘She is the sweetest dog I’ve met’ and we agree.”
The Lagger family were relocating to Zurich, Switzerland. “My husband got transferred to work in Australia, and now we’re heading back to his work-based country, Switzerland. Flor is our life, our true family for such a long time and like in the past, when we first moved countries, leaving her was never an option,” says Marilia.
Marilia was worried about Flor being on such a long flight because of Flor’s age. She reached out to Petraveller to assist her with the international pet relocation. She says, “We chose Petraveller because of the good online reviews. Our first contact was very positive, so we felt confident that she would be in good care.”
We are overjoyed to say that Flor had a stress-free journey from Melbourne to Zurich. Marilia says, “Flor arrived in Zurich in great spirits. It is always a bit overwhelming to think on what Flor went through but Petraveller did everything to make her feel loved and comfortable. Petraveller were fantastic to work with.”
Thank you, Marilia, for trusting us to relocate adorable Flor. Wishing the Lagger family a life filled with happiness and lots of happy moments with Flor!
