Rizzo and Adriana

“Rizzo stole our hearts from day one!”

Adriana and her English Staffordshire Terrier Rizzo relocated to Chur, Zurich, Switzerland from Australia with Petraveller. Adriana talks about how important Rizzo is to the family and her pet relocation experience with Petraveller.

Rizzo became part of the Head family in November 2018 when they adopted her from a private family. Adriana recalls, “They had a few puppies that they needed to rehome and we were more than happy to help them. From day one, she stole our hearts and we knew immediately that it was the right decision to bring her home.”

Rizzo is a very friendly, energetic and excited puppy. She is full of life and always wants to play and be in the middle of the fun. Adriana says fondly, “She is very loving and loyal towards me and my husband, and absolutely loves our evening cuddles on the couch. Food is her best friend and she is happy to work for a treat. Rizzo’s favourite games are tug-war and fetching the tennis ball.”

The Head family moved to Australia from Switzerland, determined to make it home and settle down. They adopted Rizzo thinking they would not be returning to Switzerland. However, as time passed, they realised they missed their home and family in Switzerland too much and decided to move back. Adriana says, “We briefly thought about finding a new home in Australia for Rizzo, but wanted to take her with us if there was a safe way to do so.”

Adriana decided to opt for a pet transport agency to help with the relocation. She began her research into looking for an agency that has a zero-harm rating and was glad to have chosen Petraveller. Adriana says, “I got about three to four other quotes, and some of them were shockingly high. All the companies took some time to get back to me, whereas Petraveller was really quick.”

She adds, “What really made me choose Petraveller was the transparency they showed from the beginning and the great feedback I found online. They broke down the total price so I could see all the components of the relocation, which I appreciated a lot. When I called in, they took great care, answered all my questions and explained the process very clearly to me. I didn’t feel like just a number, but a close client of the Petraveller team.”

Adriana and her family are very happy with the pet relocation experience with Petraveller. Rizzo arrived in Switzerland happy, and excited to get to know her new home. The Head family are thrilled that they were able to take Rizzo back home with them. Adriana says, “We are sure she will love running around the Swiss Alps and enjoy the European forests and lakes.”

Thanks, Adriana, for choosing Petraveller for your international pet travel. Here’s to new adventures in beautiful Switzerland!
