Transporting dogs from the US

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of vetting transport companies so that we can make our move to Portugal in 2016. There are so many pet relocation companies online, but not a lot of 'valid', unsolicited reviews that aren't sponsored by the companies themselves. I have received a number of estimates, already and they are all pretty much in the same price range so I really wanted to check here to see if anyone has had success with transporting their pets to Portugal and if so, the company they'd recommend.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi charliegirl,

We are planning to move to Portugal by the end of this year and have 1 cat and 1 dog (who's name is Charlie and is a female - what a coincidence!)
Wondering if you ever found a recommendation or who you ended up using, and if you were satisfied. Our "fur babies" are family members and very concerned about safe transport from the US to Portugal.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Cats can go in carriers under the seat on most flights for a fee. We have a 106lb dog and will not have her in cargo, we also have 3 cats. They are our family. I am thinking of getting my dog certified as a service dog so she can fly in the cabin with us. I just don't know how hard the training will be
