We've reached out to our Good Breeders community for their personal recommendations of transportation professionals they trust and use regularly. This list of Good Transporters represents professionals who have earned the confidence of your fellow breeders, giving you peace of mind when arranging transportation services. By sharing these trusted resources, we're strengthening our community and ensuring safe, reliable transport options for all.

Disclaimer: Transporters listed have been recommended by fellow breeders in the Good Dog community based on their personal experiences. Good Dog does not verify credentials, licensing, or qualifications, and inclusion does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of services. These are personal referrals only. We strongly encourage you to conduct your own due diligence when selecting a pet transporter, including verifying proper licensing, registration, and insurance as required by law. Good Dog assumes no responsibility for services provided by any listed transporter. The relationship formed will be solely between you and your chosen transportation professional.

Overview:

What to ask before working with a transporter

Before working with any transporter (including those on this list), you should personally verify that they have the proper licensing, registration, and insurance as required by law. We know that the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) regulations and requirements can be difficult to navigate, so we have summarized some of those regulations to help you interpret those requirements when considering pet transportation options.

To confirm your pet transporter’s experience, ask them the following questions, among others:

  • How long has the transporter been transporting pets?
  • Is the transporter registered with the USDA or a member of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association?
  • Does the transporter carry insurance, and what are the specifics of the insurance policy?
  • Does the transporter require that the breeder pack any supplies for the dog’s trip?
  • How often does the transporter stay in contact with the dog owner and breeder during the trip?
  • What health and safety protocols do they follow to reduce the spread of disease?
  • How often during the trip can the dogs stretch their legs or stop to eliminate?
  • What is the protocol for offering the dogs food and water while in transit?
  • What does the transporter do with dogs that stay with them overnight?
  • How will the dog be restrained while in the vehicle?
  • Is the vehicle climate-controlled?
  • What information does the contract with the transporter contain?

Kristy has transported many puppies for us and has always done an A+ job. Kristy is both a dog breeder and former flight attendant and knows the flight nanny profession very well. She’s very professional and knows the airports very well and how to transport puppies safely. As a breeder she knows what other breeders expect and always delivers exceptional service. We are extremely type A as a breeder and only use the best when it comes to our repro vet and flight nannies...after using some other flight nannies (horrible experiences) and then finding out about and using Kristy ever since, we will never use anybody else.

Air Transport

Website

What the transporter says: Our business is based on humanity, People or Pets, We CARE.

What your fellow Good breeders are saying about them: I have been shipping puppies and dogs air cargo for over 30 years. A whole lot has changed drastically. When Covid came around I tried using various flight nanny services without success. Then I found Travelers Care. I will never ship a puppy air cargo again. Travelers Care is FABULOUS! They made everything super easy, they took care of all the flight arrangements, the puppy traveled in the cabin so there were zero worries about flight disruptions or weather embargos. They were super nice and kept both me (breeder) and new owners updated with pictures and videos every step of the way. They fly domestic and international. And honestly, the cost was reasonable, This Gooddog Preferred Breeder and AKC Breeder of Merit recommends Travelers Care highly!

What the transporter says:

In addition to our USDA registry our driver is First Aid & CPR certified for pets specifically (I am happy to provide the certificate upon request). We have 2 drivers so the vehicle is always moving to expedite the trip. We have customized our Ford Transit with a L track system to secure the crates (which we provide) to the side frame of the vehicle for safety and we have a separate Proair HVAC unit for the passenger area to ensure a comfortable temperature at all times year-round. We take care of just about everything else, we will only need a health certificate and a little bit of food for the trip to be available when we pick up your kiddo. Passengers over 6 months old will be walked every 3-5 hours during the day or as needed. Under 6 months stay in the vehicle for their safety as usually they have not completed their initial shot regiment, however, we keep their crates cleaned throughout the trip and there is always someone in the back to keep an eye on them and give them attention along the way. We are happy to answer any questions not covered above and hope to earn the opportunity to work with your breeders.

Kats Pet Transport Service

Ground & Air Transport

Primary Location: East Coast in the Southern Tier of NY

Facebook Page

What your fellow Good Breeders are saying about them:
I live in north central PA and struggled to find a reliable, affordable transporter who was based near by.  Thankfully I found Kat and she has been absolutely amazing.  She is affordable, reliable and loves all the puppies she transports like they are her own.  She now does all my transports and just this week delivered two puppies that I sold through Good Dog.  Kat specializes in private ground transports (no feet on the ground) and also acts as a flight nanny.  She primarily delivers on the east coast but has also delivered to the middle of the country, the west coast, and even Canada.

I never worry when I hand over a puppy to Kat.  She treats them as if they are her own.  She takes pictures along the way and sends them to both the breeder and the buyer.  I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Kat is so trusted she is the only person who delivers for several of us small breeders in the area.

What the transporter says:
Kat's Pet Transport Service is a private transport service owned and operated by myself. I am located on the East Coast in the Southern Tier of NY. I only handle one pet at a time. I pick up from the breeder and deliver straight to the buyer. No multiple stops or deliveries. As a result, my prices may be higher than some transport companies but what you are getting in return is your pet delivered straight to you by a fully insured animal bailee with no risk of illnesses that may come from co-mingling before your new pet's immune system is fully protected. My car and the kennel your pet travels in are cleaned and sanitized with Veterinarian approved Rescue Disinfectant after every transport. I also spray my seats, floors, doors and every other surface in my vehicle. Bedding is washed in hot water with bleach. Food and water bowls are run through the dishwasher. I take every precaution to keep your most precious cargo safe and healthy. You have my word on that!!! Your new baby will receive the best possible care with their safety and comfort my #1 priority. They get my sole attention and will be well cared for by me during the duration of their time with me, as all of my clients can tell you. I stay in touch with both the buyer and the seller for the entirety of the trip with updates. I am professional, proficient and passionate about pets.

They have transported for me a handful of times now. Great! They definitely aren’t the transporters for those who want hourly updates though. They transport more than just gun dog breeds. They have never been more than a full day off from delivery estimate in the 10 times I’ve personally used them. They are not the transporters for you if you are expecting hourly updates as they only are on their phones at rest stops checking in with people.
