Our Singapore Pet Import Testimonials
Im so happy we decided to work with Shiloh. Smooth process n most importantly they didn’t let us worry a bit for anything. Very trustable & on time. Thank you so much Lance & Jamie you guys are the best . Would recommend your awesome service to everyone .
Thank you so much for transporting our 3 dogs from Houston to Singapore with such an ease. I felt I trusted you fully with your professional and reassuring attitude.Couldn’t believe how well they all looked! You guys are the best!
We moved from London to Singapore with our pet dog ans Shiloh did an excellent job. It’s obvious that Shiloh Animal Express knows their stuff inside out. They have definitely made our relocation a fuss free experience. Highly recommended!
Shiloh AE did a fantastic job in bringing my Jack Russell Terrier (age:15) from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by road during Christmas time in 2015. They are professional, providing me with accurate and appropriate information in a timely manner. They are very responsive in keeping me posted on the progress and answering to various questions I raised throughout the process. I was obviously very nervous about having to ship my old & blind dog for 30-days quarantine two weeks before my own departure. During the two weeks, their visitation service was very helpful, visiting my dog for an hour at the Quarantine Station and taking him out of the kennel to exercise outdoor. If you need to move your pet from/to Singapore and want it hustle free, Shiloh AE is the one to go! Highly recommended.
