Q: I am adopting a puppy from another country. Can you pick them up from the airport and transport them to me?
A: In some cases, yes — we may be able to pick up your puppy after their international flight.
Please check with the arrival airport about pickup procedures and confirm that we are authorized to receive your puppy, if required.
International airport pickup is subject to the arrival airport’s rules and authorization requirements.
Q: How early should I book my trip?
A: We recommend booking as early as possible for the best availability and pricing.
Recommended timing:
General trips: 2–3 weeks ahead
Air travel: 4–6 weeks ahead
Ground transport: 6–8 weeks ahead
This is especially helpful for long-distance trips or very specific dates.
Last-minute bookings:
Trips booked within 1 week of pickup may still be possible, depending on availability. A priority fee may apply.
Whatever your timeline, we’ll do our very best to help make your pet’s trip possible.
Q: Do I need a health certificate for ground transport?
A: Yes. To ensure the safe and healthy transport of your pet, we require a veterinary health certificate and a copy of your pet’s vaccination records.
This USDA-mandated health certificate must be issued within 10 days of the first scheduled travel date and completed by a licensed veterinarian using APHIS Form 7001 or a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI).
Providing this documentation within the 10-day window allows us to confidently deliver a happy, healthy pet.
Q: How long will it take to transport my pet?
A: The time required to transport your pet depends on your location. We can typically deliver your pet the same day by air travel. However, ground transportation between the farthest points in North America can take up to 5 days, assuming favorable weather conditions and no delays.
Q: What happens if there is unfavorable weather while you are transporting my pet?
A: We closely monitor weather conditions and flight statuses to ensure a smooth, stress-free travel experience for your pet. However, weather forecasts can be inaccurate, and flight delays are sometimes unavoidable. In such cases, we work diligently to make alternative arrangements to deliver your "fur baby" to you on time and as agreed. Your pet's safety is our top priority, so we will never drive in unsafe conditions.
We pride ourselves on maintaining excellent communication and providing real-time updates, so you can have peace of mind and stay informed about our itinerary and the status of your pet.
Q: What if I am not available when you arrive?
A: It is crucial that you or an authorized representative (over the age of 18) be present when we arrive with your pet. We cannot leave your pet in anyone else's care.
Our real-time status updates and GPS locator will keep you informed of our exact arrival date, time, and location, so you have ample time to prepare for your special delivery.
While we'll do our best to accommodate any true emergencies, significant delays could result in you being responsible for the associated costs.
Q: My family has more than one pet. Can you transport them all?
A: For assistance with transporting multiple pets, please contact us. We'll need to discuss the specific pets you wish to transport, as some may require specialized expertise.
We can typically accommodate several small dogs on a flight, with the help of additional flight nannies. However, transporting a variety of pets of different sizes may be more practical using ground transportation.
Q: What if my pet has special needs or requires medical attention?
A: If your pet has special needs or requires medical attention, please inform us in advance. We will make the necessary arrangements to accommodate their needs and ensure their well-being throughout the journey.
Additionally, we are Pet First Aid Certified and utilize FirstVet, which provides access to veterinary consultations via video call. This allows us to address any immediate medical concerns or questions during transport, giving you and your pet added peace of mind.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: We accept all major debit and credit cards through a third-party processor. For short local deliveries we accept Paypal, Venmo, and Zelle.
Ask us about our payment plan options!
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes! We take this very seriously! We pray that nothing ever happens, but we are fully insured just in case. We hold commercial pet insurance to protect your pet in the event of accident or injury.
