Welcome to Global Paws!
Global Paws is a professional and caring pet travel company that will help you to relocate your dogs, cats and other family pets to your new home… either in another country or another city within South Africa.
We take care of the entire pet moving process & your pet travel arrangements:
- We will guide you through complicated country requirements for the pet travel
- We will quote you on pet friendly airlines and guide you through their animal transport restrictions
- We will check your pet’s travel paperwork and provide detailed veterinary time schedules
- We will book your pet’s flight and provide you with the airline approved pet travel crates
- We will transport your pets in our branded and air-conditioned vehicles
- We will communicate with you regularly on the status of your pets while in transit or in our kennels
- Additionally we provide Traveller Comfort Pack & Pet Protection Plan to ease the journey of your pets
Besides local animal transport within South Africa or international pet transport services we are also able to assist with the import of pets into South Africa and surrounding SADC countries. If your pet is transiting through South Africa we are able to arrange onward flights to all African and other international destinations and manage all your pet transit requirements.
Global Paws was born in 1989 and since then we have shipped over 50 000 pets all over the world and in South Africa.
Currently we have offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town with a combined team of 27 pet lovers who are dedicated to making sure that your pets’ journey is effortless for you and a joyous reunion event for them.
Our company motto is: HOME IS WHERE YOUR PET IS. Every decision we make is based on this statement as we honestly believe that a pet completes a family. Every day we send or receive pets, either from international or local destinations, and see that the reunion with beloved furry friends is a very emotional and rewarding event for both the pet and its family. We are and will always be happy to take part in this unique experience.
