Moving pets to Hawaii just got easier

by Joe
(Kona )

The hardest part of moving here seems to be getting your pets through the process.

Seems it just got a little easier according to West Hawaii Today the local newspaper, they said "qualified pets may now fly direct to neighbor islands."

Used to be you had to ship fido to Honolulu for quarantine first before he could could join you on the big island.

 Many Mahalos from Monstah!
by: Lynsey

Monstah (4 yr old cat) and I found Akona Pet while we were trying to get him from North Carolina to my new home in Maui. Ruth was incredibly helpful and made it such a stress free process! Monstah got to Maui safely and couldn't be happier in his new home thanks to Akona Pet.

 Hats off to Akona Pet Relocation Service
by: Bill and Amy Peterson

We wanted to bring our Cairn Terrier, Sparky Maxwell to the big island, however,after reviewing all of the quarantine guidelines, we decided it would be too difficult. That was until we found Akona pet! Wow, Ruth and Mitch are true professionals as well as fun people to deal with. They provided us with the paperwork, the deadline information and a very clever passport kit.

Ruth made Sparky's reservation and on November 17th, Sparky flew from Denver to Honolulu. He was released from the quarantine office as they had all of the information needed for direct release. Her handler in Honolulu then put Sparky on a plane for Hilo and I picked him up at the Aloha Cargo office. He was in fine shape and he is now loving being an island dog!

I am a worrier and I was nervous about him flying so far BUT I spoke with Ruth often and she assured me it would be fine. She was right. Do not hesitate to contact them if you have a pet you want to relocate to any of the islands!

 Border Collies Are Great Dogs
by: Joe

Aloha Lee,

Glad you like the site, a year passes pretty fast and the next thing you know is you're soaking up the sun with your toes in the sand... If you have any questions about moving just ask, hopefully I can help. Joe

 I love this information
by: Lee Kohn

We are planning to move to Kona next year (if we can sell our house in Michigan). We have a border collie (48 lb.s) and a small indoor cat. We are so relieved that we can fly straight to Kona and have a Vet release them from the airport.

Love your site
