LOVE FROM OUR CLIENTS
"ALL THE STRESS SENDING OUR
90LB DOG IN CARGO WAS ALL FOR NOTHING THANKS TO CPM!"
"We moved from the USA to the UAE with one cat in cabin and one dog being sent cargo. To say the UAE is a difficult country to import a pet would be an understatement. Catherine was there from Day 1 answering all our questions, coordinating with the local vet for customs paperwork, and helping with ground transportation both ways. Even with some last-minute delays with our own vet and the USDA paperwork, everything actually went well."
