What our customers are saying
We used Paws on Route back in September 2025 to successfully relocate Arnold, our senior Great Dane, from Canada to Italy. Mona made this (very) stressful process seamless and provided us with support at every step. She was very responsive, made sure that all the paperwork was in order and booked my mandatory CFIA appointment. Thanks to Mona, Arnold is enjoying the dolce vita !

Everything went smoothly. Sam was very helpful. Had a little difficulty finding the correct Cargo Jet receiving entrance but bay 19 was it. Snoop arrived late but is now safe in Alberta with his mumma.
