Pet Ground Transportation

Safe and Comfortable Long-Distance Travel for Your Pets

Pet Ground Transportation Services

At Pets Travel International, we understand that air travel isn't always the best option for every pet. Our specialized Pet Ground Transportation service provides a safe, comfortable alternative for pets traveling long distances within the continental United States and between neighboring countries.

Our fleet of custom-designed pet transport vehicles is equipped with climate control systems, monitoring technology, and comfortable, secure compartments to ensure your pet's journey is stress-free. Each transport is managed by trained pet handlers who prioritize your pet's safety and well-being throughout the journey.

Pet ground transportation

When to Choose Ground Transportation

Breed Restrictions

For breeds that face air travel restrictions or bans, such as brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs and cats that may have breathing difficulties at altitude.

Large or Giant Breeds

For very large dogs that exceed airline size or weight restrictions, ground transportation offers a comfortable alternative.

Seasonal Restrictions

During extreme temperature seasons when airlines may impose embargoes on pet travel in cargo holds.

Health Considerations

For elderly pets or those with medical conditions that make air travel inadvisable but are still cleared for ground transportation.

Multiple Pets

For families relocating with multiple pets who wish to keep their animals together during transport.

Regional Moves

For relocations within driving distance where ground transportation is more practical and less stressful than air travel.

What Our Clients Say

"When we found out our French Bulldog couldn't fly due to airline breed restrictions, we were so worried about how to get him to our new home across the country. Pets Travel International's ground transportation service was the perfect solution. The regular photo updates during his journey gave us such peace of mind, and he arrived happy and healthy at our new home."

"We needed to transport our three large dogs and two cats from Texas to Canada, and the logistics seemed overwhelming. The ground transportation team at Pets Travel International handled everything perfectly. The vehicles were amazing - climate controlled, monitored, and our pets had regular breaks. The handlers were so caring and professional. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur family."
