I could not be happier with Paws en route. They provided the absolute best service even though Air Canada was majorly delayed Mona did everything in her power to move my dog to a new flight.She was very attentive, sorted and confident and I did not have a single issue the whole way.I’m grateful for their service and highly recommend.
