Starwood Pet Travel Reports 800% Growth in Pet Relocations Linked to Healthcare Workers Moving to New Zealand

CAPE CORAL, Fla., Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Starwood Pet Travel, a global leader in international pet relocation, has reported an 800% increase in relocations since 2019, driven in part by a surge of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals moving to New Zealand with their pets.

According to the Medical Council of New Zealand, internationally trained doctors currently make up more than 43% of New Zealand’s medical workforce, and over 70% of all new doctor registrations in the year ending June 2024 were overseas-trained.

For nursing, the Nursing Council of New Zealand reports that 9,381 new nurses registered in the 12 months ending September 2025, with roughly 72% trained internationally.

Overall, workforce data shows that around 43–47% of practicing nurses in New Zealand hold overseas qualifications, depending on the reporting period.

New Zealand has actively expanded medical staffing through its Accredited Employer Work Visa and Green List pathways. In the first year after its borders reopened, more than 6,300 overseas health workers entered the workforce, including approximately 2,500 nurses.

Starwood Pet Customer Perspective: A Relocating U.S. Healthcare Professional

Ezekiel Watts, a U.S. healthcare professional relocating to New Zealand with his family and pets, shared: “Most healthcare workers are on Tier 1 of the Green List, which makes the visa process faster and provides a clear path to residency and dual citizenship within five years.” Ezekiel added, “The process of shipping pets to NZ is incredibly complicated and full of potential pitfalls. Starwood has helped make the process clear and held our hands throughout. They have kept us on track and made sure we have everything done on time to get our fur babies safely to the other side of the world.”

Starwood Pet Executive Perspective

Adam Melton, VP of Strategic Initiatives at Starwood Pet Travel, emphasized the company’s role in supporting relocating medical professionals, “Relocating to another country is a life-changing decision, and for most of our customers, their pets are family. We work with many doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals who are already carrying the stress of immigration, licensing, and starting a new job in a new country. Our role is to make sure they never have to second-guess whether their pets will be cared for along the way.”

Starwood Pet Relocation Trends

From 2019 to 2025, Starwood reports an 800% increase in total relocations to New Zealand, with 2025 alone seeing bookings triple over 2024. The company attributes the acceleration in part to New Zealand’s medical-talent recruitment strategy and the rise in pet-inclusive migration among healthcare workers.

Tips for Medical Professionals Planning a Move with Pets

From firsthand customer insight:

  • Engage an immigration agency early
  • Expect lengthy processing times and begin planning ahead
  • Budget appropriately — full relocation with pets can reach $30K–$45K USD, with pet relocation costs starting at around $5,295
  • Stay resilient — “the process is a marathon and not a sprint”

About Starwood Pet Travel

Starwood Pet Travel specializes in international pet relocation, handling the logistics, compliance, and safe transport of pets worldwide. The company provides end-to-end support for families, professionals, military members, and corporate transferees relocating with animals.

Syntun | 2025 “Double 11” Promotion Report: The GMV during China “Double 11 Shopping Festival” reached 1695 billion CNY (~238 billion USD)

BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After seventeen years of evolution, this year’s festival has transcended its role as a mere shopping frenzy, reflecting a profound transformation within the retail ecosystem and deep technological integration. In 2025, major platforms have moved beyond competing solely on price and traffic; instead, they are leveraging Instant Delivery and AI technology as dual engines to drive a comprehensive upgrade of the consumer experience.

This year’s festival commenced earlier than in previous years, with Kuaishou launching its promotional campaign on October 7, followed by Douyin and JD.com on October 9. Tmall and Pinduoduo initiated their respective promotions on October 15 and 16.

Furthermore, platforms like Taotian and JD.com have deepened integration across sectors including food delivery, hotel and travel bookings, and transportation, signaling a broader strategic shift toward building comprehensive consumption ecosystems that encompass diverse retail scenarios, spanning “food, accommodation, transportation, and services.”

Concurrently, the comprehensive integration of AI technology has emerged as a defining feature. Major e-commerce platforms have launched a suite of AI-powered tools, such as “AI Universal Search” and “AI Try-On”, enabling end-to-end intelligent operations across supply chains, merchant management, and consumer engagement to elevate overall campaign effectiveness.

Propelled by instant retail and AI, the 2025 Double 11 Shopping Festival has evolved beyond a mere promotional event into a comprehensive competition centered on the upgrade of platform consumption models and technological innovation, marking a profound “consumption revolution.”

VinFast sets another record, delivering more than 20,000 cars in october 2025


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2025 VinFast continues to break records in the domestic automotive market by successfully delivering 20,380 electric cars of various models in October 2025, bringing the total number of VinFast vehicles delivered nationwide to 124,264 units in the first 10 months of the year.

After becoming the first automaker in the history of the Vietnamese auto market to sell more than 100,000 vehicles within just the first 9 months of the year, VinFast went on to set another record in October 2025 by becoming the first brand to sell more than 20,000 cars in a single month.

Specifically, 20,380 electric cars were delivered to customers in October 2025. Among them, the VF 3 maintained its position as VinFast’s best-selling model with 4,619 units sold. Since the beginning of the year, the VF 3 has sold a total of 36,005 units, firmly establishing itself as Vietnam’s “national car”.

Following closely is the VF 5, a model optimized for cost and daily use, with 4,450 units delivered in October, bringing its cumulative total to 35,406 units since the beginning of the year. Next is the VF 6 with 2,524 units sold in October and a cumulative 10-month total of 16,949 units. These results reinforce the VF 6’s strong position as the most favored model in the B-segment SUV category in Vietnam.

The VF 7 also recorded an impressive month with 1,190 units chosen by customers, raising its total sales from the beginning of the year to 7,067 units, making it one of the best-selling C-segment SUVs in the market. And with 1,477 units sold since the beginning of the year, the VF 9 is currently the most popular E-segment SUV in Vietnam.

In the category optimized for commercial operations, the 7-seat MPV Limo Green continued to show strong appeal with 4,160 units delivered to customers in October 2025. After only 3 months, a total of 6,504 Limo Green vehicles have reached customers.

Herio Green, which was recently awarded “Commercial Fleet Vehicle of the Year” at the Car Choice Awards 2025, continued to affirm its position with 2,920 units sold in October, pushing its cumulative total since the beginning of the year to 11,524 units.

The strong growth across all models and market segments has helped VinFast secure the position of the number one automaker in Vietnam for the 12th consecutive month. With two peak business months remaining at the end of the year, VinFast is expected to set a new record in total annual vehicle sales.

Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales and Marketing at VinFast, stated: “More than 20,000 vehicles sold in October and more than 124,000 in 10 months are unprecedented figures in the Vietnamese automotive market, demonstrating the strong trust and support of customers for electric vehicles in general and VinFast cars in particular. This also reaffirms the quality of our products, services, and the value VinFast brings to customers. As a Vietnamese automotive brand, we will always accompany customers to promote greener transportation, reduce environmental pollution, and improve quality of life for everyone.”

To further support and encourage customers in transitioning to electric mobility, VinFast is offering attractive incentives throughout November 2025 for electric vehicle models, such as support of up to 100 million VND for customers switching from gasoline cars to electric cars (customers in provinces heavily affected by storms and floods may receive support of up to 150 million VND), gifts valued up to 50 million VND, and free charging at V-Green stations until the end of June 2027.

In the final two months of the year, VinFast is expected to officially begin delivering two completely new vehicle lines to customers: the EC Van (small commercial van) and Minio Green (compact urban car), further expanding customer options and meeting diverse needs.
