Pet relocation is often so stressful that pet owners frequently feel more anxious about their animals than they do about themselves. After all, we humans can care for ourselves, ask for directions, or file complaints, but we don’t know what our pets are going through “down in the cargo bay” or how they’ll be treated upon arrival. Much of this anxiety about pet travel can be laid to rest by preparing far in advance.

Pet shipping can be complex and requires you be well informed and plan in advance! Thankfully, there are now more and more pet movers and transportation companies available and as time goes by, their experience adds up to less stress for you!

We’ve done some of the legwork for you too. The following are websites of expert pet relocation companies. Most offer much more than mere pet transport services. Their websites are full of information on how to plan your trip, how keep your pet healthy during transport, what to pack when traveling with pets, how to find out what documentation and vaccinations you will need, and much more. Even though you will eventually choose only one pet shipping specialist, it’s truly worthwhile to visit all of the websites below as each offers very useful information to help you prepare.
