From Military Families

We had 30 days to move our dog from our home base to an overseas posting. Paws en route had a full compliance plan in our hands within 24 hours—health test schedule, import options, everything. We couldn't have done it without them.

Air Force Major — Home Base to Overseas Posting

Domestic → International

My partner got posting orders with 6 weeks notice. Two dogs, one of them a restricted breed. They found a routing solution no other service even knew was possible.

Military Spouse — Short-Notice International Move

Home Base → Germany

The reimbursement documentation they provided saved us hours of back-and-forth with the finance office. Every receipt was formatted exactly the way they needed.
