We offer the following pet
transport services:
- flight and ground transportation
- care in
between flight connections when necessary
- airline, TSA and
USDA documentation
- boarding
- any other service
your pet may need while en route.
In short, we take the
“hassle” out of pet transport.
You can feel comfortable knowing that all of our
pet
transportation staff, agents and drivers are experienced
professionals. Your pets are
chauffeured in heated and air-conditioned vans. All drivers
carry cell phones, so each office knows where your pet is
during every phase of the trip. All pets in our care get lots
of attention and are given time for food, exercise and
bathroom breaks.
Our goal is stress free pet transportation. We
use the quickest and most direct routes and only approved
boarding facilities. We guide our customers and help arrange
for all pet health certificates and required TSA and USDA
documents and permits. Your pets are transported in approved
airline kennels (carriers) based on pet size requirements.
Many pet owners have asked us
where their pet is
located during the flight. Pets are transported
in the live animal cargo section of the plane which is
insulated, pressurized and temperature controlled. The
temperature is the same as it is in the passenger area of the
plane. Your pet can rest comfortably in his or her crate
during the flight. When you use the cargo system, pets are put
on the plane last and taken off first to assure their safety.
Excessive heat or cold can prohibit airline
pet transportation. Airlines place restrictions on pet
transport due to temperature. These restrictions are referred
to as heat and cold embargos. These policies are implemented
during the warm and cold weather months to prevent illness or
death. Although the temperature in the live animal cargo area
of an airliner is controlled during the flight, the embargos
take into account the temperature on the tarmac (runway)
before take off and upon arrival. We arrange for the best time to
transport your pet during the winter and summer months. This is
especially
important in the summer for pug-nosed dogs
and snub-nosed cats who are more susceptible to oxygen
deprivation and heat stroke.
You may have read about the
suggested use of tranquilizers during air travel on some pet
related information sites. This is dangerous advice that can
be fatal to your pet. According to the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA), air transport of
sedated pets may be fatal. PetTransporter
Worldwide will NOT transport a pet that has
been sedated. We can help our customers acclimate their
pets to air travel before a trip takes place to help prepare
them for their journey. We specialize in providing services
that are in the best interest of the family pet. |
