We travel both domestically and internationally.

Elite K9 Services LLC is USDA licensed, American Red Cross Pet Certified allowing us perform CPR and first aid on pets if necessary

We have a team full of animal lovers. We have a mixture of breeders, trainers, drivers and nannies who have been working in the pet industry for many years.  

Not only are health certificates required by the USDA, but animals can easily transport bacteria and diseases to other animals traveling with us. Having a healthy animal aboard protects our drivers, handlers, and all animals involved. 

Along with the health certificate, we will need a photo ID, signatures on our forms to start and end transport and the names of the intended recipients. 

We make stops every 3-4 hours to give your loved ones food and water, clean them if necessary and allow them to exercise and mingle as needed. We also take this time to inspect and clean out our vehicles. 

Not only are health certificates required by the USDA, but animals can easily transport bacteria and diseases to other animals traveling with us. Having a healthy animal aboard protects our drivers, handlers, and all animals involved. 

Elite K9 Services LLC will assist you with executing the transaction of buying your new pet by giving you fraud protection services. We will act as a middleman and not only conduct the transaction by verifying your new pet and the reputation of the breeder, we will also send you pictures to confirm the transaction before handing them the money. You have to inform our travel coordinator this service is necessary during your transport order. 

Every animal is special needs to us. We understand some have more needs than others and we will accommodate those needs by using the written instructions you will provide, garments, special diet instructions, restraints etc. to ensure the safety and comfort of your loved one.  

The answer to both of these statements is No No No No No. Please do not ever sedate your pet before travel. Some airlines do not allow sedated pets and sedation is not good for your pet because sedatives suppress their respiratory system and often cause disorientation. If your pet is sick they will have to stay home with you to nurse them back to health because we do require a health certification for travel. Loving them through their illness will make both you and them feel better about their travel plans.
