Five Ways to Jumpstart
Your Pet's Summer Move
Our team just hit the ground running, prepping for the many pet moves slated for the summer months.
If you're overwhelmed with the details of your own relocation and wondering how to organize your pet's move, follow these first five steps to get started.
- Take accurate measurements of your pet. The first step in the process is to gather details about your pet, including exact height and length (this illustration can help you or click here for our guide). It's very important to measure your pet precisely to make sure the travel carrier is the right size. With larger pets, we may need to arrange for transport on certain aircraft models. More Steps

First North American Cat Café Opens for Feline Fans
Last weekend thousands
of people stood patiently
in line for a chance to sip "cat'achino" cappuccinos and visit with specially selected felines at North America's first Cat Café.
New Yorkers were smitten with the country's only
pop-up coffee shop in Manhattan's East Village where 16 adoptable cats were casually mingling with their feline fans. The Cat Café concept began in Asia and has since gained popularity in Europe, too. Last weekend's Cat Café was the first such spot on this continent, although other American cities on the West Coast as well as Canadian locations are "cat-sidering" their own cafés.

REUNITED
Everything Is Rosie!
This very sweet black Lab/terrier started her travels in St. Paul, Minnesota, heading by car with her pet parents to Chicago. This playful girl then jetted to London, after a few days delay in the Windy City. It sure can be overwhelming for a family to make a move across the ocean, but Rosie, now safely snuggling in her new home, is ready to take on London's doggie parks!
