Featured Testimonial

"After much research, I selected Happy Tails Travel for my pet ground transport needs. We needed to get our dog Zoe from Florida to North Carolina - and as soon as possible for health reasons.

From the moment that I was connected with my pet travel specialist, Samantha, she was professional, friendly, and answered all of my questions. I was promptly assigned a driver and trip plan. Our driver, Julie, immediately made both myself & Zoe feel comfortable and ready for her adventure.

During the trip, Julie stayed in regular contact and furnished wonderful photographs. I never had a moment of doubt or worry - I knew Zoe was in excellent care.

The choice to go with Happy Tails has been one of my best decisions ever. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and helped to make a difficult time much easier. Excellent communication, professional experience, and friendly service. I highly recommend Happy Tails Travels!"

Ernesto safely received Cashew with open arms in Phoenix last week. Thank you so, so much for such an excellent service. I am extremely impressed with the organization and the quality of communication/information I received from Happy Tails and all associated parties throughout the process. All my questions were answered and at no point did I have any concerns or worries. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my beloved pet. He is doing absolutely fine and has already settled into our new house, absolutely no qualms about the big journey! 

All my warmest regards,

I highly recommend Happy Tails Travel for pet air travel across the US.  So many thanks to Samantha and Happy Tails for a safe, cross-country air travel for Chili. Our two year old grand puppy suffers from megaesophagus.  After much anxiety, my decision to go with Happy Tails was the best one yet.  Chili has a deformed esophagus requiring special medical care.  Samantha was there to customize those needs.  She provided professional expertise, was an excellent communicator (even on her days off) and helpful throughout the whole experience.She made sure Chili had a direct flight and helped us with all the paperwork needed to fly in cargo.  She took care of a miscommunication we had with Chili’s vet regarding the health certificate.  It is hard to find service consultants who are as dedicated as Samantha.  Thank you to Happy Tails for the safe journey for our grand pup.

Emory is doing great and loves her new digs.  She quickly shook off the stress of travel and is settled in. Here are a couple of shots of her snuggling up once getting home.

We appreciate how clearly you explained everything and how smoothly this went.And we are so very glad to have her here with us while we are in Chapel Hill!

Thanks,

Allie had a long but successful day. She was very happy to see our mother when we picked her up. The whole process was much easier and smoother than we were fearing.Ruth got her dropped off without any issues and we had the same picking her up at SLC. The picture is when we got her to mom's new nursing home and mom was able to get her out of the crate for the first time. You can see the staff behind mom, all very excited to see their new 4 legged resident. She's now getting used to being the talk of the home and getting lots of attention by both residents and staff.

We really appreciate all you guys did. This was a complicated process to navigate and it was well worth it to have you all do the legwork and guide us through it.

Peace,

Happy Tails Travel provided peace of mind during a very busy time as we and our cat prepared to move across the country. Lizzie was wonderful to work with and provided ready information and guidance every step of the way. Our cat Pete made his way safely and comfortably across the country and is now happy in his new home. Two paws up!

Thanks for everything!

Lizzie at Happy Tails was an awesome partner throughout this whole process. She was constantly reaching out to help me stay on track, answering all my questions (and I asked a lot of them) and making me feel comfortable that Pepper was going to be okay as we both moved across the country. I had to move without my dog, and she helped coordinate getting her from my parents' home to me in Seattle, thousands of miles away. She called the vet to make sure all the paperwork was set, and sent reminders as the day approached. It was more affordable than the other services out there too! She was on top of everything and kept me sane. Thanks so much to Lizzie and Happy Tails for getting Pepper to our new home safely!

Shelbie and her team were amazing in bringing my little girl across country. The coordination, communication, care, and responsiveness made all of the difference. She took care of door to door transport. I would highly recommend Happy Tails Travel and Shelbie for bringing your fur babies home.

I can’t thank you enough for your service and guidance! You made the whole process easy for us and a lot less stressful. I’ll definitely work with you all again for future travel—though I hope it’s a little while before we plan another cross country move!

All the best,

From organizing the flight to providing emotional support to worried dog parents, Happy Tails was the best for helping us relocate little Paloma. We needed a last minute flight change and they were more than willing to adjust to fit our wishes. Paloma got to the East Coast happy, healthy and hungry! She has settled in wonderfully and we can’t thank Happy Tails enough.

I recently moved across the country, from Washington to New York City. It was a tremendous undertaking, let alone with my cat, Nala, so I was unsure how to best take her with me. I contacted Happy Tails Travel Inc and they helped me the whole way through. Kim was amazing to work with, keeping me updated with their research for travel, letting me know what I needed beforehand to avoid issues with the airport, getting me convenient drop-off options, and coordinating the final pet taxi when the plane landed. Nala is adjusting to her new home well.

I would definitely recommend Happy Tails to anyone looking for an easy way to move their pets!

Can’t thank Kim enough for ensuring a seamless cross country relocation from New Jersey to Arizona for our 11 year old Yorkies, Buddy and Boo. Despite all the impact of covid as well as weather for airline travel, Our pups experience (as well as ours) was completely stress-free. She and her team were in constant communication with us throughout the planning process, travel day, and even afterwards to make sure they were settled into our new home. Thank you for everything.

Moving two cats across the country was a little nerve wracking, but the team at Happy Tails Travel are pros and expertly guided us every step of the way. A big Thank you to Kim who's attention to detail and obvious care for our pets was much appreciated. Travel day went off without a hitch and it didn't take long for Peanut Butter and Jelly to get cozy in their new home.

Our four cats just completed a 2500 mile journey from California to New Jersey. What could have been an incredibly stressful experience was instead a complete "white glove” experience and the cats were impeccably taken care of. They are happy, healthy and settling in, if a little confused about who stole California! If you are considering a move and are worried about your furry friends, Happy Tails Travel will take this worry away. We would heartily recommend them!

Aulin's trip went really well! We were so happy (and relieved) to see him in good spirits when he was dropped off on Saturday. Jonathan was great at checking in with us and sharing pictures while Aulin was boarding with him and his family-- definitely appreciated the updates! Our little dude has already made his way to quite a few dog parks within the city and is slowly becoming friends with other dogs in the neighborhood.

We can't thank you all enough for providing such thorough service and making sure our pup was in good hands for his entire trip from CA to MA! Again, thank you so much!

Thanks, again!

Bridget,
I want to thank you for making Bailey's trip from Minnesota to Arizona so worry free. I wish the rest of our move could have been so easy! Any time there was an issue to overcome, you were right on top of things and had the situation resolved before we could blink an eye. We had no idea how much actually went into relocating our pet, but you have all the best knowledge and connections to get the job done!! Now we know who to call if Bailey needs to do any more flying in the future. Thanks again for all your help.

We would highly recommend
flying your pet with "Happy Tails" anywhere and at anytime.

If it were not for this GREAT organization, our cat would have not made it. Due to the hottest time of the year, no one would fly him from Buffalo to Arizona. Happy Tails was our ONLY hope and we cannot speak more highly of their services. Nicky's travel plans were taken care of with perfection from his airline preparations to his delivery right to our front door.

PS: I have included a before flight and after flight photo of Nicky enjoying his bandana and cat toy!

Hello from the Bay Area!
This note is long overdue. I want to THANK YOU for making it so easy for me to bring Barkley from Washington DC to San Francisco this past April. He was so happy to see us when he arrived, and Mark and I were ecstatic. Thanks for bringing our family together. Barkley loves the West Coast! God Bless you.

Just wanted to thank you again for your assistance in transporting Princess to our new home in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I would highly recommend your company's services in transporting beloved animals from one destination to another. I was very anxious about trusting someone that I do not know with so many details and the well being of our Pug with a flight from Florida to Arizona (over 2,000 miles). You made it worry free for me and that is what I really wanted. Our Pug, Princess, arrived safe, sound, and happy to see us. Thank you Happy Tails Travel!

Sincerely,
Hope E. G.
