Dog Owners Trust FurShipper With the Trip That Matters Most

A dog’s transport needs change with its size, breed, and age, what works for a ten-pound terrier doesn’t work for a ninety-pound Lab. Unlike a single dog transport company with one truck and one route, FurShipper puts your listing in front of independent dog movers and transporters nationwide, so you’re comparing options instead of waiting on one company’s schedule.

Why a Professional Dog Transporter Beats a Favor From a Friend

Long drives are hard on dogs that aren’t used to them, heat, cramped crates, and skipped bathroom breaks add up fast. Professional dog transporters on FurShipper plan around your dog’s size and energy level, not just the shortest route on a map.

Vaccination & Health Paperwork

Drivers who regularly move dogs know which states expect a current health certificate or rabies record, and won’t leave you scrambling at pickup.

Routes Planned Around Rest Stops

Long-distance drivers build in exercise and potty breaks every few hours, not just when the tank needs gas.

Crates Sized for Your Dog

From small dog carriers to full-size crates for large and giant breeds, secured and climate-controlled, not a loose leash in the back seat.

Care From Pickup to Drop-off

Feeding schedules, medication, and your instructions followed the way you wrote them, logged and photographed at every step in the app.

Ground Transport vs. Flying a Dog: What’s Actually Better?

For most dogs, ground transport is the safer, calmer option, no pressurized cargo hold, no layovers, and a driver who can pull over the moment your dog needs a break. Flying puts real limits on dogs: many airlines won’t fly brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like Bulldogs, Boxers, and Pugs in cargo because of their higher risk of overheating and breathing trouble, and large or giant breeds often exceed cargo-hold crate limits entirely.

Dog Transport FAQ

The questions dog owners ask us most before booking a trip.

You pay one flat FurShipper booking fee based on distance, from $34.99 for trips under 100 miles up to $299.99 for cross-country trips over 2,751 miles. Your driver’s own fee is separate, set by their bid, and paid directly to them at pickup (FurShipper never marks it up.

Your dog should be able to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. When you post your trip, list your dog’s breed and weight so drivers can bid with the right crate size and vehicle space already in mind.

Drivers on longer routes build in stops roughly every few hours. Ask your driver directly about their planned stops in chat before you accept a bid, especially for cross-country trips.

Yes, by ground), that’s exactly why ground transport exists as an option for brachycephalic breeds. Most airlines won’t fly them in cargo due to overheating and breathing risk, but a climate-controlled car ride with regular stops avoids that risk entirely.

Yes. Mention both dogs and their sizes when you post your listing so drivers can bid with enough crate space and vehicle capacity for both.
