Pet Relocation - Go-Ahead

I have been going back and forth between several different pet relocation companies. 2 companies remained as the top companies. Over the past couple of weeks I did some checks on them and work out some of the details that needed to be worked out in order to make a final decision. Currently the date for Daisy's relocation is set for August 17th. I finally gave today one company the go-ahead to get things, regarding Daisy's relocation, started.
This one company fulfilled all my requirements:
Daisy is NOT being shipped as cargo. She is being relocated supervised. She will fly in a compartment that has equal pressure and temperature as the passenger compartment. She will be the last one loaded onto the plane and the first one to get off the plane. She won't be stuck in the travel crate for more than 10 hours. And this will be a door to door service, meaning she will be picked up at our place and delivered to my parents place in Austria. In addition to all that the medical paperwork will be compiled ahead of time, that way she doesn't have to be put through quarantine.
Of course that service isn't cheap...it will be around 4 Grand, but that's money well spent. As soon as I have the detailed travel info for Daisy I can buy my flight ticket. I intend on being at my parents by the time Daisy arrives, that way she will be greeted by a familiar face.
4 month preparation time is more than enough time to compile all the necessary medical paperwork, slowly re-familiarize Daisy through positive reenforcement with the travel crate without having to rush things. That should make for a way less stressful move for Daisy and I.
