    Temperatures are heating up! That means many pets can no longer fly as it must be below 80 degrees Fahrenheit for all cities on their itinerary.

    If your pet needs to travel in the contiguous U.S. we can offer you our By Ground Safe & Sound     Service as an Airline Alternative.

    Our By Ground Safe & Sound service includes the following:

    • Door-to-door transportation
    • Transportation in heated/air-conditioned Sedans, SUVs, Mini Vans or Cargo vans
    • Communication with you throughout the trip
    • Comfort stops, walks, and potty breaks along the way
    • Your pets will be fed, given water and are able to bring their favorite toys along for the ride!
    • Any of your pets’ belongings, including bedding, toys, treats, regular food, etc., are encouraged to make the trip with them!

At Happy Tails Travel, we ship your pets by air with care to just about anywhere (domestic and international pet relocation assistance is offered), and our prices are fair. We will customize and assist with all of the details and logistics of your pet move whether it is local, national, or international pet travel. Our goal is a hassle-free, safe journey for your pet, and peace of mind for you. We make moving pets a breeze!

We are advocates for all pets moving. This includes pets who are now restricted from air travel due to airline changes in pet policy. We offer private transport from current home to new home. This is especially helpful for Giant breed, Snub nosed, and "Dangerous" breed dogs. It also benefits people who want an alternative to Airline Travel for their pet. Read more about our pet ground travel services.

Please fill out the Pet Travel Services Form to provide us with all the necessary information to meet your individual pet relocation and pet shipping needs. We can prepare 'Known Shipper' documentation and expedite the shipping of your pet through the entire pet move process. As a certified USDA Intermediate Handler, we comply with the Animal Welfare Act and applicable federal and airline pet move regulations.

With the information from your no cost/no obligation Pet Travel Services Form we can address your entire pet shipping, pet relocation, or pet transport needs. Let us help you safely ship your cat, dog, puppy, or kitten!

Loyal Customers – Many of our clients come back to use us for their next pet move, and refer friends and family to us. Our professional, friendly & customized pet services are some of the reasons we have people utilize our pet relocation planning again & again!
