FIND THE BEST PET SHIPPING PRICES

How to Ship a Pet

With uShip, shipping a pet is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1 | Create a Listing on uShip

Take a minute to consider your needs, timeframe and budget. There are a few things you’ll be asked in the initial listing process. Be prepared with your pet’s name, breed, age, any special needs they may have, and if you have a kennel for you pet or if you need a kennel provided. Many pet shipping companies have their own crates and kennels for your pet’s safe transport. Provide as much detail about your pet as possible in the listing.

2 | Choose the Best Pet Shipping Service

Once your shipment listing is complete, you’ll start getting quotes from vetted pet transport companies, as they compete for your business. We encourage you to ask questions of the carriers as they provide shipping quotes. This will give you a good feel of the pet transporter’s response time and personality.

Every carrier on uShip has a profile with their shipping history, safety records and customer-rated feedback for your review. Most carriers include photos of their vehicles, so you can see exactly what your pet will be transported in. You can see a list of all their previous pet transports completed on uShip and the experiences they provided their customers. We strongly recommend reviewing carrier profiles to feel confident you’re choosing the best pet shipping service for your and your pet’s needs.

3 | Pet Shipping & Delivery

After you’ve selected your pet transporter, contact them directly with any questions, concerns or further details. Share any third party contact information with your carrier and let them know any time constraints on either end of pick up or delivery. Have payment ready at the agreed upon time. A lot of times, pet transporters do take full payment prior to delivery to help care for the pet on its journey. Should you run into any issues with your pet shipper, contact uscontact us. We’re here to help before, during and after your transport.
