What is a Known Shipper?
Due to new security regulations implemented by TSA to ensure that risks from cargo are mitigated they now require that cargo on passenger planes is sent from "known shippers." All Pet Travel is a known shipper as well as a registered Indpendent Air Carrier (IAC).
Due to these new regulations, it may mean that if you want to ship your pet as a cargo on a passenger flight, you will more than likely need to contact a professional pet shipper. This may an inconvenience to you but it will mean a safer, more secure trip for your pet. Back to Top

All Pet Travel can assist you with choosing the appropiate size crate for your pet's travel. We can also assist you with acclimitating your pet to its carrier to ensure he is well adjusted and comfortable during his journey. Back to Top |
