Never Leave Your Furry Friend Behind With These Pet Transportation Services

These services will get your pet where they need to be when you can't.

Maddie Topliff is a Daily Paws intern and a senior at Drake University studying public relations, Spanish and advertising, but perhaps most importantly, she is sister to her human brother Ben and her two fur baby brothers Chip the cockapoo and Doug the pug. Maddie also works as an intern at Principal Financial Corporation and has a year of ad agency experience under her belt, too. Writing for Daily Paws has been absolutely paw-some, and Maddie feels lucky to be a contributor!

Whether you're moving across the country or the world, figuring out how to get your pet from point A to point B can be a challenge. Thankfully, there are many pet transportation services whose mission it is to safely deliver your furry friend to wherever you're going. Some even offer luxury services like travel insurance or the ability to transport your pet via private jet.

It can be daunting to choose a pet transportation service, especially since you're trusting a company with your pet's well-being. Unfortunately, there are many scam companies that do not have you or your pet's best interests in mind. To avoid any mishaps, we gathered a handful of trusted pet transportation services that are recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture for their work.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Ship a Pet?

The cheapest way to ship your pet is to transport them yourself using your own vehicle. By doing this, you'll essentially avoid spending any money on a pet transportation service. But if driving your pet yourself isn't an option, opting for a pet transportation service's basic offerings without any bells and whistles can help keep your costs low.

Is It Safe to Ship Pets in a Plane's Cargo Hold?

While some pets travel just fine in cargo holds, it's still a good idea to either opt for a less stressful form of transportation or just leave them with a sitter if you're going on vacation or a quick trip. Generally, transporting your pet in a plane's cargo hold is risky business, as this puts them in a potentially deadly situation if the temperature ends up becoming too hot or cold during transit.

Fly With Me

By angela passman.

I decided to write this book for several reasons. The first is when I realized that there isn’t really a lot on this topic available. Unlike pretty much everything else, where there is a wealth of information to sort through on the internet, when it comes to pet shipping and transportation, well, to say it’s lacking is an understatement! There isn’t a whole lot out there. It’s a real struggle trying to find information about the rules and regulations, about the actual process, about what an owner needs to do for a pet before the move, during the move, and even after the move.
