Private Pet Transports Nationwide.

One of the toughest things to do is to ship your pet with someone else. You can put them on a plane as carry on, if you are permitted. You can load them as cargo or your can ship them another way like through a ground transport company. This post will address the issue of dealing with a ground pet transport company for your dog or cat. First of all, as a fellow pet lover I know how much we all love our pets. They are awesome. They love unconditionally. Don't care if we are handsome or pretty, short or fat, even if we smell good or not at the time. They just love us. This makes it easy to love them back.

I used to be involved with K9's as a police officer (now thankfully retired) and have always had dogs and cats. My love for pets though came from growing up and always having them. If you aren't an animal lover, you wouldn't understand. Pets can heal a broken heart like the wife that can not have children, or in our case only one and wanting more. I would have a real problem sending my pets with anyone else and I understand the feeling. There are some things that you should look for in a pet transport company. First and foremost, they MUST be registered with the USDA as a pet carrier. They have rules that must be followed under The Animal Welfare Act. There are a lot of companies that do a service called private dog or cat transports. This is where a persons pet or pets will travel as a passenger in a vehicle. They are not crated and can rest on a seat just like they do when they ride with you. This service costs more than taking pets in a crate because the pet transporter will take other crated pets with your pets and spread the total cost of the trip out among all of the pet owners. There are advantages to both ways of transporting your pet, but the crated transports advantage is only the cost savings typically. The private pet transport is usually a straight shot from the location where the pet or family of pets is picked up, directly to where they are all to be dropped off. The companies usually have two drivers and can travel over 1,000 miles a day including stopping for dog walks and exercise exercise and to allow the pet or family of pets to relieve themselves along the way. If you need your pet shipped from Maine to California, it can be done in a matter of 3-4 days but the cost is higher of course. If you can afford this method of transport, it is the best for your pets. If you do decide to go with a private pet transport, make sure that you use a USDA approved shipper. Even if a shipper tells you that they do not have to be licensed if all they do is private transports, that is wrong! You can check an pet transport companies USDA license by going to the USDA website here and searching for a name or certificate number.

Have a great day.
