Pet transport service for cross-country move?
We are relocating to the bay area in a few weeks. We are a family with three kids and we have two furry dog kids. We are under the gun with trying to get out there fast enough for my high schooler to make marching band camp so driving across the country (CT to CA) is not really an option. One of my dogs has epilepsy so I really do not want to fly him as cargo. Has anyone here used a pet ground transport service with success and could you share their name with me?

Hello,
We moved from CT to CA two months ago. We used United's cargo service from Hartford and we were ok with the service. Just they were very particular about the size of the kennel. We had to buy another kennel before his flight. My dog arrived in the same day of his flight. He seems quite happy and didn't get scary too much.
There are not many options for our dogs unfortunately for cross country moves.
Good luck.
I have not used this service but found it on google - preciouspetstransport.com It seems to be an air-conditioned van that will drive your dog to it’s destination. Pet Airways was doing pet only flights for awhile but has stopped. You can rent a very expensive charter flight from them. I personally would avoid regular air line cargo at all costs. Do you know a reliable college kid who could drive your dogs across country in your car? Then your car and your dogs would arrive safely and you could book dog friendly hotel rooms along the route. Good luck in your move!
