Greta, are your dogs on your orders? That makes things so much smoother! Also if you work with whatever airline it is that ships your dogs they usually have prearranged kennels that they use that are chosen becuase of how they treat the animals...not to mention they make bank! LOL I am hoping all goes smoothly for you...My g/f has certainly told me horrible pet stories but I can honestly say we never had a minutes trouble travelling with ours!

Good deal Renee! And that's a load of BS from Biogen. They are supposed to maintain a list of certifed Infusion Centers for patients. That's their job. I know this for a FACT! This was part of the issues that were covered at the last RiskMAP conference. I got it from the Biogen people that this list would be made available to patients when they called in to MSActiveSource...by zip code. That's why I told you to talk to a supervisor.
When we were in the Navy, we took our dogs overseas and it was no problem at all. We met them at the airport and it was a piece of cake. The only issue we had was we could not have them on base with us until we had housing. So we had to wait 6 weeks to have them shipped. We left them with my sister and she shipped them once we had a housing assignment. That was the Philippines. There was no "adequate" kennel facility available.
