Question: “What are some issues found in home inspections?”
Our Answer:
The issues found during home inspections can vary. Some of the problems Inspectors look for are:
Structural or foundation problems.
Windows and doors operating correctly.
Safety issues such as too few smoke alarms, or tripping hazards in floors or staircases. This could include cracked or missing tiles in the floor.
Potential problems in a home’s exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, cisterns, pool equipment, air conditioning, and interiors.
Sometimes additional inspections by specialists in a certain field are recommended to get more information which may include costs of repairs. The most common are:
Air conditioning
Pool equipment
Cisterns
Roof
Structural
Appliances
Electrical
Plumbing

Question: “What are my options for bringing my pets to St. Croix?”
Our Answer:
For dogs and cats, no import permit is needed; however, their official health certificate must state that they did not originate from an area quarantined for rabies. They must also have been vaccinated for rabies within 12 months of the date of shipment, except those that are less than 12 weeks old. When traveling, the rabies vaccination certificate must be attached to the official health certificate.
Commercial airline limitations can sometimes cause additional challenges — size, breed, weight, and number of pets, along with the season of travel, are all things to take into consideration. Certain breeds are prohibited from traveling commercially, and airlines are unable to accommodate transport for animals during hot months (think June through October).
For some, chartering a plane is the only option to get their pets to the territory. Using a charter service through a company like Bohlke International Airways is one option to consider. Their animal-friendly charters provide safe passage for all types of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds.
