Can I move my pet myself?

Yes, you can. Domestic travel is easier than international travel arrangements. Please know that using a professional pet relocation agent is not the least expensive way to ship your pets but it can be invaluable.   A relocation specialist can assist you with logistics and put your mind at ease.  International travel arrangements can sometimes be difficult and be aware that even a simple mistake can hold your pet in quarantine longer than needed.

Can I rent a Shipping crate?

No.  Travel carriers are relatively inexpensive and the shipping and handling of getting the carrier back and forth outweighs the value of the kennel.   Crates can be purchased at a local pet store or we can supply one for you.

What is a Known Shipper?

Due to new security regulations implemented by the 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 Independent 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 be an inconvenience to you but it will mean a safer, more secure trip for your pet.

What size of Crate do I Need?

The Animal Welfare Act states that your pet be able to sit, stand and turn-around in its crate without restriction.  All-Pet Travel can assist you with choosing the appropriate size crate for your pet's travel.  We can also assist you with acclimating your pet to its carrier to ensure he is well adjusted and comfortable during his journey.
