The Story of Thor, the Golden Icelandic Traveler

Thor, the Icelandic Golden Retriever, and his family spent a year in Málaga, but their return to Iceland required an exhaustive export process. We handled his health certificate for non-EU countries and prepared the export documentation, ensuring every Icelandic requirement was met. It was crucial to confirm they had an approved import permit from Iceland before starting the journey. Additionally, specific tests like Angiostrongylus vasorum and Leishmania via PCR, as well as IFAT for Brucella canis, were conducted, along with precisely timed external and internal deworming treatments.

When the airline required an IATA-compliant carrier, we made sure it met every specification. The entire process was meticulous, but the collaboration and gratitude of Thor’s owners made it all worthwhile.

Today, when they return to Málaga, they always stop by to say hello, bringing thoughtful gifts like Icelandic books or chocolates, reminding us of Thor’s journey back to his homeland. That process brought us closer, and now we feel like part of their family.

The Story of Tito and Mimi: A Special Return to Ecuador

Tito, a cheerful Shih Tzu, and Mimi, a soft-coated feline, embarked on a heartfelt journey as their Ecuadorian family decided to return home after many years in Spain. Helping them prepare for this trip was a detailed process, ensuring compliance with Ecuador's specific requirements.

We began by securing the export and health certificates for non-EU countries, meticulously meeting the rigorous standards for animal entry into Ecuador. Both pets underwent rabies antibody testing, and internal and external deworming treatments were administered within the exact timeframes required.

While the family already had an airline-approved fabric carrier for Mimi from a previous trip, Tito needed an IATA-compliant crate. We assisted them in finding the perfect model to ensure his journey was both safe and comfortable.

A unique aspect of this process was accompanying the family to their appointment at Málaga’s border inspection point, where official veterinarians conducted a final check of Tito and Mimi before their departure. It was a distinctive experience, but together, we ensured everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently.

Finally, we received photos and heartfelt messages from Ecuador, where the family expressed their joy at being reunited at home. This story remains close to our hearts, as we recall the happiness with which they embarked on their return, knowing every detail had been managed with the utmost care.

The Story of Lulu, the Little Maltipoo Traveler Heading to Miami

Lulu, an adorable apricot Maltipoo, arrived at our clinic in an urgent situation. For those wondering, a Maltipoo is a delightful crossbreed between a Maltese and a Poodle. These small dogs are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and curly coats, making them perfect companions for families and travelers alike.

Lulu’s owner was in a bind, with a flight to Miami in just a few days, and had been unable to find a trusted veterinarian to handle the export certificate. Upon arriving at our clinic, they felt an immediate sense of relief, and we quickly got to work. We swiftly issued the health certificate for non-EU countries and managed all the required documents, although, fortunately, most of the paperwork had already been prepared by the owner.

Thanks to our quick intervention, Lulu and her owner made it to Miami without any issues. The experience was so positive that for their next trip, they contacted us directly to repeat the process. Since then, our clinic has become their go-to reference, especially for their beloved and charming Lulu.

Sun, a charming XS Australian Shepherd, is a frequent traveler between Málaga and Miami, always accompanying her owner, a doctor with a professional life split between both cities.

For Sun, we ensured full compliance with the updated requirements, meticulously reviewing her health records and keeping her rabies vaccinations up to date.

Before her departure, we confirmed that her breed was not on Morocco’s restricted breed list, as some countries impose specific regulations. With that assurance, we began the preparations.

Since the owners lived far from our clinic, we coordinated Laika’s vaccinations, deworming, and rabies antibody titer test with a nearby veterinary clinic, streamlining the process for them. Finally, we issued her health certificate within the 24-hour window before travel, as required by Moroccan regulations, and arranged the export certificate in record time, ensuring all documents were in order for both departure and return.

From Málaga to Dubai: Luxury Canine Adventures

Our daily work is never short of intriguing stories, and these two examples are proof of that.

First, we were tasked with arranging the journey of Max, a Belgian Malinois, from a canine hotel in Málaga to Doha, Dubai. Max, accustomed to the exquisite care of his temporary stay, patiently awaited his reunion with his owner, who was already eagerly waiting for him in Dubai.

Then there was the transfer of two very special dogs—a Labrador and a Bodeguero—inseparable companions to the horses of a renowned Arab sheikh. These dogs not only provide company but also share the luxury and prestige of life among elite stables.
