How do I ship my Dog to another State or from State to State - Across the Country
 

Pet Transportation, Pet Relocation and Dog Shipping Across the States and Internationally requires special care. Some destinations have implemented programs of rabies control whereby pet owners have an alternative to the traditional long-term (6 month) quarantine. By meeting prescribed criteria of pre-entry veterinary requirements quarantine periods can be reduced to a minimum of 1 month.

Here at Animal Transporters, We specialize in helping pet owners meet the strict requirements of these pet transportation and import programs. We have been in this business for many years and our policy of "zero-tolerance for error" has contributed to our success, and earned us an excellent reputation.

Shipping, Transporting and/ or Relocating dogs, cats and most pets from the US to Foreign Countries and state to state is a complicated process and requires specialized knowledge of import and export documentation, veterinary procedures, timing, airline policies, pet  travel crate requirements, quarantine, boarding accommodation, and proper animal identification.

We provide professional assistance to pet owners, breeders, and their veterinarians to make this process as seamless and stress-free as possible. We can provide a complete "door-to-door" service to ensure that your pet makes it to your new home without any problems.

We adhere to the rules and regulations of the Live Animal Regulations of the International Air Transportation Association (IATA).

We are registered with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) as an Intermediate Handler, with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as an Indirect Air Carrier and we adhere to the USDA's Animal Welfare Act in all phases of our operation.

We are also members of the Independent Pet and Animal Transportation Association International (IPATA).

If you want to ship your Dog, Cat or Pet to another state or from state to state & across the country by yourself, here are a few things you need to know:

Tips, Warnings and more important info regarding Pet Transportation, Relocation and Dog Shipping:

Ship your dog in a sturdy, plastic pet carrier with adequate ventilation and a secure mechanism for latching the door to prevent escapes. Your carrier should be large enough for your dog to stand up, lie down and turn around. Mark it with "LIVE ANIMAL," arrows indicating which side is up, your dog's name and your complete contact information.

If you're flying, your small dog can fly in the cabin with you as carry-on luggage on many airlines. Check the specific airline for requirements on carrier specifications and dimensions. Most providers require the carrier to fit under the seat in front of you.

Do not ship your dog wearing a muzzle. This can be a suffocation or choking hazard.

Remove your dog's leash from inside the crate; it can pose a choking hazard.

For dogs with special needs or health problems, travel by car is generally safest.

Hawaii has laws that require dogs coming into the state to go through an inspection and up to five-day quarantine period. Check current restrictions in advance of your dog's trip to avoid unnecessary delays or rejection after quarantine.
