How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance for optimal scheduling, though we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests depending on route and availability.
What breeds do you transport?
We transport most dog breeds under 25 lbs, including small and toy breeds. However, we do not transport brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus, and Pekingese due to their increased respiratory risks during air travel.
What documentation is required?
Your pet will need a health certificate issued within 10 days of travel, proof of vaccinations, and any destination-specific documentation. We'll guide you through all requirements during booking.
What are your pricing factors?
Our transparent pricing considers flight distance, connections required, pet size/weight, and any special handling needs. We never charge hidden fees, and quotes include all services.
How do I prepare my pet for travel?
We provide a complete pre-travel checklist including carrier familiarization tips, feeding schedules, and comfort items to bring. Our goal is making the journey as stress-free as possible.
