    Well Done !!!! I wish I had your ability to deal with bureaucracies and red tape with such (seeming) good grace ..... :D ..... Anywhoo ....
    Glad the family is back together safe and sound .....

    We’re literally doing the exact opposite right now! Canada to Italy running into the same problems with our girl, who is too heavy and whose kennel is too big for most airlines, including Air Canada and Lufthansa.
    KLM seems like the best option as they don’t have a size limit, but rather a weight limit (75 kgs).
    Trying to avoid using the shipping agent as we got a quote for $6,000 one-way, ouch!!

      Ah, indeed our lives are the exact reverse of each other! You're going to love Italy -- and it's sooo dog-friendly, too! Just gotta get her over there :) Glad to know that KLM doesn't have a size limit ... here's hoping COVID doesn't mess with their rules too much!

    We moved our small dog and ourselves to Italy last month. Now we need to import two cats like Kiro did (thru Frankfurt in a crate). So it’s nice to see his experience went well.

    This is so great to be reunited with Kiro. Thanks for sharing the video Katie! I’m from Toronto and you will love the vibe and be sure to check out Woodbridge (located just north of Toronto) it has the largest Italian population bordering Toronto and lots of great restaurants, bakeries, grocery store. You’ll need to check out The festival Italiano show on Sundays at noon which celebrates our Italian culture. It’s iconic to watch while eating Sunday Italian lunch 😋also known as Sunday sugo by my kids!

    That is so great to see that your little one made it safe and sound. You keep hearing so many scary stories, but doing a pet relocation is probably the best way to go. If I can ask, how much did it cost to send him across?

    Wow, I remember many mooons ago when my parents decided to leave Toronto and move to California in the 80s we had a full gownn Doberman. He (Doby) flew on Air Canada to Los Angeles and then we had a family member pick him up and drive to Fresno. They had to sedate him becasue he would bark and growl at everyone in the airport.

    • @TheQKatie
      @TheQKatie  Před 2 lety +1

      Oh wow, interesting! I learned through this process that they actually don't allow sedating dogs anymore! If someone who works for the airline senses that a dog has been sedated, they won't let them on the plane!

    Hi did Kiro travel in the cabin or in one of the lower holds of the plane?

  • @amethyst6386
    @amethyst6386 Před rokem

    Was this plane travel for Kiro on a pet plane only? What I’m most concerned about is what my friend who used to work with plane luggage told me. He said that they put pets in their kernels at the luggage department and there is no sound insulation there. They end up being traumatized from the loud engine sounds and turbulence among the objects stored with the pet kernels. So these scared animals vomit, urinate and defecate from the stress. He described to me how freightened they look when they’re unloding them. I would never want to put my pet through this. Especially as she is sensitive to this type of thing. I guess giving the pet some pills to clam down is a good option. But how about the overall environment they’re in? The noise, the turbulence (no safety belts for pets obviously), the air conditioning…
