Are you thinking of making aliyah but not sure what to do about your beloved canine pal? Never fear, olim-to-be: the Israeli Pet Travel Agency is here for you. According to their statistics, more than 6,000 pets made the move to Israel in 2012:
Dr. Eytan Kreiner, founder and CEO at The Israeli Pet Flight Agency, understands the special challenges awaiting pet owners in the relocation process. Having met so many Olim and returning citizens in the course of the last two decades, he knows that a pet can make a huge difference to a young child who is dealing with the stress of Aliyah, who has left his friends and all that is familiar to him, behind. Our pets are much loved members of the family and the thought of leaving them behind is heartbreaking.
But what does the Israeli Pet Travel Agency actually do, you ask?
· We can help you import your pet even if it is considered ‘banned breed’.
· We can help you fly with your pet, in the main cabin, as an ’emotional support animal’ in case you have a special condition and need your pet with you for support throughout the flight.
· We can help you import an exotic animal (if it is a home pet).
Well, what are you waiting for?
