How Early Should I Book Pet Transport Services?

When it comes to planning a move or a big trip with your pet, timing is everything. One of the most common questions we hear at PetCommute is: "How early should I book pet transportation services?"

The short answer? As early as possible. But here’s the good news: At PetCommute, we can often accommodate bookings with as little as a few days' notice! Still, booking earlier can help you avoid extra stress and secure the best options for your pet.

Let’s dive into why early booking matters — and why you should get started.

Why You Should Book Pet Transportation Early

• Limited Availability: Quality pet transportation services fill up fast, especially during busy seasons like summer, holidays, and spring break.

• Paperwork Prep: Health certificates, vaccinations, and international travel documents can take time to gather and process.

• Travel Coordination: Airlines, ground transport, and logistics providers often require reservations for pets.

• Pet Comfort: Early planning gives your pet time to get familiar with carriers, travel crates, and new routines.

• Peace of Mind: Securing your pet’s travel plan early means fewer last-minute worries for you.

Special Considerations

• Breed Restrictions: Some airlines limit travel for brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds, which may require specialized routing.

• Large Pets: Bigger pets may need custom crates and extra logistics.

• Medical Needs: Pets with health conditions may require a bit more planning with your veterinarian and transport specialists.
