When my yorkie, Chewie, was denied export from Canada due to misinformation from the wrong sources and little support from a new veterinarian, I was left scrambling to find him accommodations.
The refusal stemmed from a mix-up in Chewie's rabies vaccinations and microchip implantation order, a nuance I wasn’t aware of and a mistake my regular vet should have caught while reviewing the travel requirements. This lack of communication on both sides led me to discover that many people shared similar vet experiences and struggled to determine the right resources to rely on.
Bodzin Pet Travel Solutions became a reality, and today I’m able to turn the knowledge I’ve gained through numerous moves and extensive travel with my dogs into trustworthy, comprehensive services for caring pet parents like you.
Let’s rewind a few years…
how do i know?
As a conscientious pet parent, you know your pet’s comfort and safety is too important to leave to chance. Still, while general advice on the internet or from others may be helpful, it’s not always totally accurate, up-to-date, or applicable to your situation, leaving you frustrated and overwhelmed.

My best work happens when a dog or cat is sitting on my lap or by my side. You'll never find me working without a drink to sip on, like a flat white or brewed tea.
