Our Facilities

Located at Schiphol Airport, our office and operational workspace are designed to support fast, secure, and welfare-focused animal logistics. Close to major airline handling agents and veterinary services, we coordinate every movement efficiently and with great care. 

We work directly with specialised partners at Schiphol — including handling agents, veterinary inspectors, groom teams, and custom crate builders — ensuring animals receive the right care and setup before departure. While we do not board animals ourselves, we collaborate with trusted partners who provide appropriate pre-flight care and holding when required.

  • Dedicated space for preparing travel crates and documentation 

  • Safe loading and unloading with professional handling partners 

  • Immediate access to NVWA inspections and customs facilities 

  • Seamless coordination between our logistics team and airport partners
