On Wednesday we waived Goodbye to Saski - an elderly genteel lady of 13 years young. We had helped with her import back in 2022.
Saski flew to Heathrow and after her clearance was finalised we had arranged for a specialist animal couriers company to drive her up North to Manchester.... where she was reunited with her owner Nichola.
Nichola reported " Thank you so much ..she arrived about an hour ago. Had a good feed , a sniff around and now found a nice place to settle. X### "
Happy UK Days Saski ###

Charlie and Dexter this week swopped a reasonably cool TRNC for a decidedly chilly and snowy UK.
Their owner, Jonathan, had returned to the UK a few weeks before the boys. But the boys were being well looked after at a local kennels and we all kept in touch about their move.
On Tuesday they left the TRNC and flew to Edinburgh (via Istanbul). Once they arrived our ever helpful colleagues at ARC kept us, and Jonathan, updated about their clearing process and sent us pics of the boys during their wait at ARC.
We were delighted to hear from Jonathan that he was all ready to collect them - armed with treats, toys and warm coats !!!
We wonder what they REALLY think of that white fluffy stuff that we call SNOW.

Driving home - or flying home - for Christmas !
This last week has been a busy one with 6 pets all wanting to be " home" for Christmas.
We had Gizmo and Siggi who were driving to their new home in Greece via Turkey then into Bulgaria before carrying on through the EU to Thessaloniki. Their paperwork included an export certificates for Turkey as well as one for entry into EU.

Next were Scruffy and Milly who were flying to Thailand with their owners. Their export/import paperwork was completed with the help of our colleagues in Bangkok. However although the dogs paperwork was all correct and they left here with no problems the Turkish ground staff refused the owners boarding the flight at Istanbul as they said that the owners passport was damaged. Owners,and dogs were sent back to TRNC. There then followed a few days of rescheduling and reorganisation for the dogs while their owners sorted out their own new travel documents. Our thanks goes out to the TRNC Vet Dept who quickly arranged for quarantine on arrival back into TRNC, and their care during quarantine and delivery to Ercan once the owners new travel document were issued, new flights booked, and new Export Health Certificates for the dogs were issued. 5 days,after their original departure from TRNC Millie, Scruffy and their owners safely arrived in Thailand.

Then we had Schotty who was going on his Xmas hols to Belgium. Both Export and Import (back into TRNC) paperwork was completed and he is now enjoying his little holiday.

Finally it was the return to the UK for one of our regular travellers Kaspar. He flew, via Brussels and then via Channel Tunnel, into UK. But he will be back !

A busy week all around and now time to relax and enjoy the festivities for us, for our travelling pets and their owners.
Merry Xmas everyone x

2024 has been a busy year for us and we have also had some personal and health issues to deal with. But throughout the year we have met lots of new (and old) fantastic owners and their absolutely wonderful pets.... all just wanting the best for their pets travelling all over the world. It has been our pleasure to help them in the best way that we could.
To all of our past owners - and to our future owners - THANKYOU for trusting your fur babies to us.
We wish everyone a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year.

Over the last couple of months we had been advising Aysha & Mark about the process, and journey, for them to bring their Leonberger, Poppy, over to the TRNC.
Each pet (and owner !) has their own particular needs, requirements, preferences and fears which we always take into account when planning for a pet to travel.
Poppy is, for such a large breed dog, quite old at over 7 years. She weighs more than 70kg and is also nearly blind so her needs were quite complex. After lots of discussions, during her prep time, we all thought it would be best for Poppy to travel with her family overland. Although we have flown Leonbergers in before - we felt that for Poppy it would have been too stressful.
Even the families UK vet was in touch with us to ensure that she was doing everything according to the rules.
This week we received the following update from Aysha...
"Hi Kim,
Have been meaning to email you amongst everything else to say thank you for all of you help and let you know that we arrived safely and Poppy made it ( just about).
I think any longer and we would have had problems. We did it in 8 days and we came via…. France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and got the ferry from Tasucu.
It all went really well actually and we are still picking ourselves that there were no problems.
At the border at Turkey we showed the papers but they had no idea what they were supposed to be looking for and to be honest seeing such a big dog was a novelty and distracted them somewhat .. then no issues in Girne… the vet came out pretty quickly ( the only issue we had was it was quite warm for Poppy and she fell down the stairs 😩😩as she’s quite blind).

She is loving it though now… taken about a week for her stomach to adjust and for her to settle and she seems to have a new lease of life ….

Thanks again Kim for all of your help. Will def recommend you guys."

The TRNC welcomed with lots of Ohhs and Ahhs, American Akita, Kiko this week. He had travelled with BA into Larnaca and then onto TRNC.
Throughout his travel planning we had been helping Kristy on the various steps.
It can all seem such a confusing time with so much to do for Owners - but we try to take it one step at a time with them to ensure that everything is done correctly and that, hopefully, they are not too stressed by it all.

Billy (black) and Maya (tabby) arrived at the end of the week. They had travelled from UK to Larnaca and then we collected them from our colleagues, at Elite Pet Relocation, in South Cyprus. Their owners had arrived the day before so had some time to get settled before Billy & Maya arrived.
We ,and Elite, were surprised at how quiet and calm the cats were. They had boarded with Elite the night before we collected them due to a very late flight arrival and they said there was not a hiss or meow from them. During their transfer from South to TRNC (including their entry checks) they were soo quiet - not a peep from either. We kept checking them as we do - they were fine - just very chilled out !
Once they were home they showed how relaxed they were by both tucking into their 1st TRNC meal and then they began to explore.
The photos were taken just after we had dropped the cats off to Gill.

From TRNC - UK by air - then back to France by sea !! What a journey 2 of our travelling pets had recently.
We had been asked by Janice and Robert to relocate their 2 dogs, Max and Toby, to France. However it then came to light that from France - once everyone had had a little R & R, that Janice, Robert, Max and Toby would be moving onto Jersey.
The discussions between us all were quite lengthy - should we send the dogs to France or would Janice & Robert prefer them to go to UK then Jersey ? During these discussions Janice & Robert moved from TRNC to France. So it was decided that the "boys" would go to France. They HAD to travel to France as a manifest cargo booking due to their box sizes - Toby's was especially tall to take account of those BIG BIG ears !!!
However after hearing back from our Paris clearing agent we were all upset to hear that the French authorities had decided that they would not accept the dogs as a "Manifest Cargo" booking as they would not accept the TRNC official documentation. A response we are hearing more and more. However we hasten to add that it does not appear to be the same policy for pets travelling with their owners from TRNC to France.
Back to the discussion thread again. Finally we had a Plan B - the "boys" would fly (manifest cargo as per the rules) to the UK - once they had completed their UK entry our colleagues, at Animal Couriers, would collect them from Heathrow - get a new EU health certificate issued (needed for all pets without EU Pet Passports going from UK into the EU) - and would then take them over to France delivering them home to Janice & Robert.
This was a long journey for the dogs and Toby in particular was quite nervy. Timings to allow for rest time for them was important.
The "boys" left TRNC on Thursday - arrived at Heathrow on Friday and then arrived home with Janice & Rob on Saturday.
They will spend some quality time in France before moving onto Jersey with Janice & Rob.
We had this message after their arrival home " Hi Kim & Margaret .
They arrived Saturday safe and well and are setleing in well they were both so excited when they arrived .
Thank you for all your hard work organising there travel and the special care you gave them .
With best wishes
Janice Robert Max and Toby. Xx "

We first met Lottie & Oscar 2 years ago when we helped Jane bring them from the UK to TRNC. Jane contacted us again recently to say that the family were moving back to the UK and could we organise Lottie & Oscar's return. Although the dogs had arrived via South Cyprus - it had been explained to Jane (in 2022) that if they were to leave the TRNC they could not travel back into South Cyprus - not even for transit purposes in order to take a flight out.
Jane was aware of that and knew that the dogs would be leaving TRNC with Turkish Airlines and that it involved an overnight stop in Istanbul. Everything was organised and went to plan last week - even down to the delivery service we had arranged to collect Lottie & Oscar from Heathrow and deliver them home to Wales.
Once they arrived Jane reported that they were "happy and chilled".
We bet Oscar is going to miss his Cyprus swimming pool - he loved to jump in at any chance !

We all love a little bit of sunshine - especially warm October Cypriot sunshine.
Ace is no exception (as you can see).
He arrived, with our help, after driving over with his owners from the UK.
We had been discussing his travel plans and detailing the process, paperwork that is required, possible routes,even info about the ferries, for quite a few months with Yeliz & Mustafa as they arranged their travel plans.
Ace arrived the other day into Kyrenia harbour and Yeliz happily reported :
"Thank you so much for all your help.
We have arrived in TRNC all safe and sound. Ace was able to come straight out with us after the vet checked all our paperwork.
You have been an absolute blessing.
Thank you 🙏"

It was not just a Chance meeting at the crossing the other night - it was time to say "welcome back Chance" !
We first met Chance in 2019 when we arranged for his import into the TRNC (via Larnaca). We knew that for Chance, Joy and Rob it was a trial move to see how they all adapted to TRNC life before deciding whether to move over or not.
At the end of their trial period we arranged for Chance to return to the UK in 2020 - hoping to be seeing him once again.
Well Chance has returned (along with Joy & Rob) to begin his (and their) long term life in the TRNC.
Once we had completed his entry process we were pleased to take Chance home where Rob was waiting for him.
Joy let us know that it hadn't taken him long to settle back into his TRNC home.

Kaspar - a sweet Maltese Terrier - is one of our regular travellers coming into the TRNC and then returning after a few months to the UK. He recently flew in, with Turkish Airlines, with his owner Dervise whose feedback (all feedback is so important as it can help other owners) was .....
" All good, Kasper done well
Entrance to Ercan good.
Vet came quickly.
Exit from Heathrow more bit of a faff as no one knew what to do with him!
Asked if he was a service dog :)
Usual fun and games.
Thank you for your help."

Until it is time for you to go back to the UK - Happy TRNC Days Kaspar x - see you in a couple of months Dervise !

Meet Magnus and Toby .... 2 young Maine C**n kittens who we recently helped to relocate to the TRNC.
Maine C**n (also know as Gentle Giants in the cat world) is a v large domesticated cat breed. One of the oldest natural breeds in North America, the breed originated in the U.S. state of Maine, where it is the official state cat. They are an affectionate relaxed cat - making them great as family pets.
Adult males can weigh as much as 10kg.
Magnus and Toby's owner - Gary - kept us updated during his (and the kitties) journey from UK to TRNC.
" Hi........ Just a short update.
Checked in at Edinburgh, Paperwork all good and they are happy.
Both kittens travelling in cabin with me, although they are by no means the size of a regular kitten.
All good so far.
Just the Turkish leg to navigate later tonight"
"
Good Morning, arrived safe and sound.
Couldn't of asked for a better Journey.
Turkish leg was very smooth.
Thank You for the assistance.
Now we have 2 Demons running riot ...))))"

Happy TRNC Days Demons ! X

If we are not posting on here about our traveling pets - please do not think it is because we are not helping any, or are not working - sometimes we just have so much going on with various pets being prepared (paperwork checks, measuring, meetings with owners/vets/airlines etc, organising boxes) and general admin - that we simply do not have time to also post.
We have just run out of time - sorry.
For those owners whose pet's travels we have not featured - we are sorry - but please keep watching !!!
