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.
