Ground Dog and Cat Transports

Now that we have been in business for a while and have transported over 100 pets nationwide, I can see why so many folks use a private pet service. A ground service that picks up your pets from one location and drives direct to the drop off location, stopping only to care for the pets, eat and gas up the transport vehicle. You can get from coast to coast in a few days. It is so much easier for the pets since they are not with any other pets along the way and they get lots of attention. The biggest problem is that with the cost, the private transports are so expensive. Some companies charge over $1.30 per mile for the transport and when you consider all of the expenses. the cost really isn't that far out of line. There is gas, car insurance, maintenance, paying the two drivers to name a few of the built in expenses. There is also the cost to get to the pickup location as well as the cost to get to the next pickup stop after your pets are dropped off. These all cost the pet transporter when they do the ground transports of your dog or cat. We have held the line on our costs but with a weary eye, we are watching the price of fuel. Nationwide the cost has gone from an average of $3.22 to $3.45 per gallon. That can mean a 2500 mile trip from coast to coast would take about 139 gallons of fuel in one of our vans getting about 18 miles per gallon. A few months ago the fuel would cost us $447.58 where it now costs us $479.55. That doesn't include the other costs we listed above and we didn't even mention the cost for tolls. It all adds up. Even though it is expensive, we feel that it is worth it to keep the pets off of the airplanes where the are treated as cargo. We couldn't imagine traveling that way and that is why we try to keep our costs reasonable so more folks can transport our beloved pets with loving care. You don't have to feel guilty sending your pets with a good ground transport service. There are getting the same care that you would give them on a long trip.
