Why some animals travel by road
The breed is restricted.
Chloe could not fly out of Texas because of her breed, however gentle she is. She and her cat siblings drove to Miami, where the airline options were better, and flew from there.
One airline says the animal is too old.
Axel was refused on age. He flew from Los Angeles to Panama anyway, and then continued by road to Boquete.
The animal is too large for that aircraft.
Lucy, travelling with Bunny and Striker, was too big for Copa. She flew to Miami ahead of them, her owner collected her the next day and drove her to Washington DC.
The crate is too large for that aircraft.
Jasper's crate was too large to fly to Washington DC. He flew to Miami and his family drove the last leg.
The road is simply the better leg.
Leroy and Stitch flew Panama to Miami, and our partners drove them on to Texas.
What we drive
Inside Panama. Home collection in Panama, including the long runs. Dutchess finished in Boquete. Penny had to be collected from Taboga Island and brought to the city by ferry before she could go anywhere at all.
To and from the airport. Collection after clearance, straight to your door or straight to our kennels.
Cross border and long distance, with partners. Miami to Texas, Miami to Washington DC, and further. In Europe too: we delivered two dogs from Amsterdam to Bonn, and we drive through the Channel Tunnel to the United Kingdom.
Entire moves without a flight, where the route allows it.
Two journeys
Dutchess, North Carolina to Boquete.
We collected her from her home, brought her to Miami for the paperwork, she stayed the night with us, and then flew on a flight arranged by our partner. The road leg came afterwards, from Panama City up to Boquete.
Penny, Taboga Island to New York.
She was found on Taboga Island, brought to the city by ferry, treated for ehrlichiosis, vaccinated and looked after at VIP Vacation Kennels. She flew 81 days later.
Tell us what the airline told you
Where your animal is, where it needs to be, and what you have been told so far. There may be a route once we know the location, destination and exact restriction.
