Canada service area

Province-to-province and cross-border pet transport.

Canadian searches often include a province or city, but our service is planned around the actual route rather than a fixed list of lanes. We serve road-accessible destinations across Canada and handle U.S.–Canada trips in either direction when the applicable requirements can be met.

Ontario and Quebec

Ground transport for routes involving Ontario or Quebec, including moves connected with Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and surrounding communities.

British Columbia and Alberta

Long-distance routes involving British Columbia or Alberta, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and other road-accessible locations.

Prairies and Atlantic Canada

Pet transport for qualifying routes involving Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador where the trip can be completed by the planned ground route.

Northern and Alaska-connected routes

Routes involving northern Canada or Alaska require additional route planning because distance, road access, season, and border crossings can materially affect timing and cost.

U.S. to Canada

For a pet moving from the United States into Canada, review our dog and pet travel requirements for Canada before pickup, then confirm the route with us.

Canada to U.S.

For moves into the United States, destination-state rules and current federal entry requirements must be satisfied in addition to the ground route itself.

Pets we move

Dogs, cats, puppies, and qualifying small pets.

Species-specific needs matter on long Canadian routes. Use the service page that matches your pet for more detail.

Canada travel requirements

Check the route before you book.

Rules can differ depending on species, origin, destination, province, whether a border is crossed, and current animal-health measures. We keep the regulatory detail on dedicated pages so this service page stays focused on transportation.

U.S.–Canada border requirements

Review our U.S.–Canada pet border requirements for current official-source guidance and links.

Provincial requirements

See our Canada provincial pet transport requirements page for province-to-province considerations and source links.

State requirements

If the route enters or ends in the United States, also review our state pet transport requirements.

Pet transport cost in Canada

What affects the cost of pet transport within Canada?

Canadian ground-transport quotes are route-specific. Distance, pickup and delivery locations, number and size of pets, timing, tolls, remote access, ferry segments, border processing when applicable, and northern or Alaska routing can all affect the total.

See our pet transport pricing page for the general structure, then request a quote with the exact Canadian pickup and destination so the route can be priced accurately.
