Long-distance puppy transportation across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Canada, with one dedicated handler responsible for the trip from pickup through delivery.
Puppy transport is still ground pet transport, but age, feeding routine, bathroom breaks, crate familiarity, vaccination status, and route requirements all matter when the trip is planned.
Provide the puppy's regular food and written feeding instructions so the handler can keep meals as close as practical to the normal routine.
Stops are planned around the route and the puppy's age, comfort, hydration, and bathroom needs rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Crates, carriers, or other restraint setups are selected and secured based on the puppy's size and what they are accustomed to using.
We review the route and applicable travel-document requirements before pickup. The pet owner's veterinarian remains responsible for issuing veterinary documents when required.
The same handler remains responsible for the puppy from pickup through delivery rather than handing the puppy between unrelated transporters.
You receive progress and photo check-ins during the trip so you know how the puppy is doing along the way.
Send enough of the puppy's regular food for the trip plus clear written feeding directions.
Provide the secure travel equipment discussed during booking and make sure it fits properly before pickup.
Have vaccination records and any route-required health documents ready before pickup.
Tell us about crate familiarity, motion sickness, anxiety, medications, bathroom routine, and anything else the handler should know.
Puppy transport cost depends on the route, distance, timing, puppy size, travel setup, and any special care or border requirements. See our ground pet transport pricing page for current starting prices.
