I would definitely recommend CitizenShipper. The transporters were super communicative and efficient, and they sent photos, which I really appreciate because no one's more obsessed with my dog than me.

I chose AVL Transport because her description had everything that you needed to know, considering we are our first time using this platform to transport our pet without us, and she communicated with us in the morning, midday, and also in the afternoon for any estimated times or delays that was occurring.

The quote I got from any other company was $ 6,500 to get my kids out here. I recently relocated to the East Coast, and if it hadn't been for CitizenShipper, I wouldn't have been able to afford to get them all out here.

I had Betsy Blue, my mini Aussie, driven from Portland, Oregon up to DFW, Texas. That's over 2,000 miles. And she came and arrived in great shape. The transporters were super communicative and efficient and they sent photos, which I really appreciate because no one's more obsessed with my dog than me. But yeah, they were just super sweet about it all. I was even able to track their location as they went so that I could see where she was in real time. Time they got. They ended up arriving here at 1am and they were like, hey, we don't expect you to be up at 1am but that's when we're set to arrive. Do you want us to wait in the morning? And I was like, I'll be up, I'll be up. Give me my dog back. Just because I was so excited to see her. And so they drop her off. And what I thought was really notable is that immediately Betsy noticed me and she ran over and she was like, mom, hi. You know, like, you know, the dog whine and the tail wag and all this stuff. And I was. And then as a joke when we were like parting ways, then I was like, oh, tell them bye. And then Betsy ran back over to her transport team and she wagged her tail and said, you know, goodbye to them. And then when I cued her to get in my car, then she just hopped right in. So I guess being in a car for that, for that many hours was not traumatic for her and she clearly loved her team. So I would definitely recommend citizenshipper. I'm not able to fly my dog up to Texas in August, which is when I got her, because it's too hot. It wouldn't be safe. So having this as an option was less stressful on the dog and just made more sense for our whole family so I could have her sooner.

Hi I used AVL transport to transport my dog Marble from Washington State to Maryland. It took her about four days to get here, which we think was really fast considering how she had other stops along the way. I chose her because her description had everything that you needed to know, considering we are our first time using this platform to transport our pet without us, and she communicated with us in the morning, midday, and also in the afternoon for any estimated times or delays that was occurring. She also gave us pictures every day to show us that our dog has been adjusting well or having fun or etc. So we definitely encourage other transport or other customers to look into AVL transport. She was able to work with the budget that we have, as well as offer any discounts if necessary. So yeah.

This is my new dog, Balco. He was transported from Charleston, South Carolina to New Jersey using Citizenshipper. Very happy with their service. The driver was punctual picking him up. She shared her location with me for the duration of the trip. She kept informed the whole trip with photos and text updates on how he was doing. And he arrived on time and he arrived clean and there were no issues. And I'm very happy with Citizenshipper and I would definitely use them again or recommend them to anybody else who needs a pet transported.

Hello friends. I came to show you guys my teddy bear. Her name is Shooky and I got her from the state of Pennsylvania and I found her and I need a someone to transport her to Massachusetts and I did some research and I found this great company called Siddons Shipper and that's where I found the lovely lady Melody where she brought my baby home safe and sound. The process was really smooth between. Going online and getting the offer. It is a great website. I totally recommend and you can bring not only pets from what my understanding you can bring ship anything through them. But she made a home and we were so happy to see her. Everything went really well and I do recommend go look them up citizenshipper and great people trust worth it and it is worth two trust them. My experience with them was great and my experience with Mallory was even better and I appreciate them bringing my puppy home and I chose Mallory because not only she was a pet owner so she knows how to deal with pets but her offer was great. So check them out. Thank you. Bye.

Hello. This is my new puppy, Nilla. We got her through Citizenshipper. They helped me find someone to transport my puppy all the way from California to Michigan, and I wasn't able to fly out there. And so this was just a much better route for us to take to get her. And so there's lots of different options between air nannies or having somebody to drive her, which is the option we chose just because it was the least expensive. And, yeah, they gave us video updates and photos and just kept us updated on timing the whole time. And, yeah, it was a good, smooth experience, and I'm so glad we had that option. Otherwise I wouldn't have her. So thank you.

Hi, my name is Rachel and I use citizenshippers services to transport my dog and my guinea pig, that is the dog, across country. I received bids. I was able to see what services and any qualifications or certifications that the handlers had and I was able to select a provider of my choosing, saw that she was USDA certified, bonded and insured and all of that. Received picture updates every day. And my dog had a great time and the guinea pig did too. Thank you so much.

Hello, this is my puppy, Kaia, that I had transported through Citizenshipper. I had her picked up in New York. She was brought to South Carolina and I was able to go to the website. I filled in my information, the dates I needed her picked up and only took a couple of minutes before I had several offers for transporters to bring her to me in South Carolina. It was easy, it was fast. And everybody that I looked at had their background checks. They were. They had insurance, they were USD certified, and so I felt very comfortable having someone bring my puppy to me. The shipper that I used, her name was Kelsey. She sent me pictures. She was very prompt in responding when I asked questions. She gave me an estimated time of arrival, a full day ahead, and I was able to make sure I had everything prepared. She gave me a 30 minute warning, I guess you could say warning whenever they were about to arrive so I could make sure that I was ready in here whenever the puppy got here, so I would definitely use Citizenshipper again.

Lucky's home. Thank you, Citizenshipper. Lucky made it to Florida from New York. And it's all because of your help and support. I was able to get Lucky from New York to Florida using a transport company I felt I found through citizenshipper. Now, I went with PAWS and Pathways, who is basically run by. Which is basically run by Osman. And when I tell you this process was so seamless, so perfect, I will pay for convenience every single time. Okay? Every single time. Now, as I mentioned, I did not know how I was going to get Lucky from New York here, right? There clearly are options. The plane just felt too overwhelming. Like, there was all these rules I saw, and it was just very like, you may be able to fly with him, you may not it. And he's 21 pounds. So I know that they had, like, a certain weight requirement when it comes to the carrier and the dog. And so, like, that felt like, okay, like, I don't want to deal with that, the what if and the unknown. And so I was just like. And then when I realized I didn't want to drive, I had known about citizenshipper on social media. Someone had mentioned it, and I have researched it before, and I had looked into it and I saw that you could basically put up what you're looking for, like what you need, basically the dog, the size and everything from New York to Florida. And then companies will send you quotes. They will tell you how much it costs, when the dog will get there, and all those details. What I loved about citizenshipper is that all the information is right there. First of all, you got access to several transport companies, several different. You just got options. First of all, I love options, right? I want to decide what's in my budget. I want to decide. All right, Am I feeling this energy? Are you very organized? Right. Like, how's your communication? Right. Like, how often am I going to get pictures? Like, do you have a GPS option? Right. And all of that was there, right? Every company had their reviews. You got to see what people had to say about it. Like, everything is within the database within Citizenship, where once people, once the company starts sending you quotes, you also have access to their page. And within their page, they give you all this information. Now you can talk to the companies and, and figure things out, but you pay a broker fee to citizenshipper and you really. So my experience, you don't get to really, like, do the process with the company until you pay the broker fees to citizenshipper. And like I said, I will pay for convenience every single time when I tell you it was worth it. It was worth it because you get access to options, right? You don't have to go out there and search companies and find out who's. Whose reputation is good or bad, right? Like all that information was right there. And they were real reviews. Not everyone had five stars. Not everyone was a five star. Was a five star company. And so you got to see that. And for me, I went with Paws and Pathway because one, like their information was like, they told me upfront what the process was, right? Everything was so upfront. I had very little questions. My main questions was around my specific situation. For me, my dog was in New York with my uncle. And so I needed Osmond and Pause and Pathway to contact my uncle to get lucky. I needed us to be on a, a group chat, right, to make sure they get lucky. And once they get lucky, then I was the point of contact. And it just all went so smoothless. Like, smoothless. It all went so effortless. Like it was such a smooth experience. From Citizenshipper to. To Pause and Pathway to Lucky getting here to New York. I got pictures along the way. I was so geeked. Like, I learned so much random information through this process because I didn't know that companies can drive a certain amount of miles per day or a certain amount of hours per day, and they put that information there, they let you know what they're qualified to do.

My name is Erica. I live in South Georgia. I was introduced to citizenshipper through the breeder we purchased our puppy from. I had never actually heard of it before, so I was a little nervous. Having never done something like that before. It could not have been easier to enter all of our info on the website, the pickup location, the drop off location. And once I chose a shipper, I was so appreciative for the website, making it really easy to communicate with them. It gave a lot more confidence knowing that everything was going through the website. Everything felt a lot more protected. And once they picked up the puppy, they were incredible at communicating with us and they sent photos and videos the whole journey. They just made us feel so joyful and so confident about the way our new puppy was being treated on his way to us. And I would highly recommend. I have told several people about citizenshipper already because we were so, so happy with the transporter, with the whole process. It could not have been easier and it gave us the ability to get this puppy that we otherwise would not have been able to make the trip ourselves to go get. So thank you, citizenshipper, for helping us get our little boy Teddy Bear. We appreciate it.

Hi. I just want to say I'm so pleased with this service. CJ Drove my new adopted baby, Frenchie, from Riverside to Denver, and he was just amazing.

Hello, everyone. This is Jesse here. Just want to tell you a little bit about my experience with Citizenshipper. It was a great experience. I picked them because of their reputation. Citizenshipper had a lot of good reviews on it. I looked at a lot of different agencies and I just felt really comfortable with them. And I'm glad I picked them. I picked Gloria to take my dog, Armani, previously named Regal, but I picked him as a puppy. So I changed his name on the way. But he, he got here safely all the way from South Carolina, 770 miles safely from Gloria with Elizabeth Transport. I can't recommend her highly enough. So if anybody is looking for a transport service, definitely pick Citizenshipper. And I would definitely choose Gloria with Elizabeth Transport. Like I said, again, just wanted to make sure because she did such a good job, she gave me updates along the way. She took care of my puppy. One of the reasons I picked her is because she, well, she had great reviews. But one of the other reasons would be, is that she had experience with a Kane Corso puppy. As you can hear him, that's him right there. You can see he's healthy and he got here safely. So shout out to Citizen Chipper and to Gloria with Elizabeth Transport. Can't recommend them enough. So thank you.

Yeah, I needed to get my French bulldog from Philadelphia up to Massachusetts, and it was urgent. And so I put in the details on Citizenshipper, and in just a few moments, I was getting quotes from folks saying how much they want to charge me and also when they can pick up. I ended up choosing someone based on. On the fact that it was the soonest that I can get my dog up here. And also I was looking at the reviews and there was a lot of positive reviews. And so I communicated with that driver and we talked about the details from then. It was really smooth sailing. She let me know when she was going to be there to pick up the dog and sent me pictures regularly. And this is not the first time I use Citizenshipper, and this is, you know, this is my second time. And it is very, very positive experience. I was really worried about handing my dog up to strangers. And so it worked out really well. And I have my dog up here, and honestly, it was cheaper than having to drive down and back or do something else. And so I'm very happy with my experience. Check it out if you need it.

Hi, I'm Brittany and I hired a citizenshipper to bring a French bulldog home from the shelter for me. Little Barkley was on the euthanasia list and we had to get him transport after we pulled him. And he is a 10 year old French bulldog and they require a little bit more attention than normal. So they were the driver was able to accommodate his needs. He allowed him to have his fan on his kennel, which was super helpful. They were so good about updating me with photos and arrival times and pickup times. It was super seamless. The driver seemed really compassionate about his name was Byron. He seemed very compassionate about his job and Barkley honestly didn't want to leave him. It was really cute. But we shipped from Los Angeles to Portland, which is quite the drive and all was well. I highly recommend say thanks. Barkley.

Hey, my name is Janelle Laird and I have three kids at my age that mean the world to me. I recently relocated to the east coast and if it hadn't been for Citizenshippers and avl, I wouldn't have been able to afford to get them all out here. I'm on a fixed budget, as any senior citizen knows. Well, unless we're like a totally rich, we're on a fixed income. This is David, and he is one of my main flame men. There, David. Say hi, David. Yeah, that's David. He hasn't been out here very long. He not. He's not going to tell you if he likes it here or not, but he likes being back with me. And this is Noah. This is David, and this is David's baby boy. Yeah, there he is. It's okay. That's Noah. Say hi there. These two boys mean the world to me. If it hadn't been for the fact that I ran across a company called Citizenshipper, I wouldn't have gotten them out here. I wouldn't have been able to afford it. The quote I got from any other company was $6500 to get my kids out here. Outrageous. I was in despair. So let me tell you something. If you're like me and you need to get your kids with you, give them a call. Give them a call and don't despair, because there is a way to do it. They help me do it and they'll help you, too. Thank you very much.
What determines the cost of Brittany shipping
Here's what you need to know about safely transporting your Brittany.
Mode of transportation
Ground travel
Cost $$$
Time ⏱⏱⏱
Air travel
Cost $$$
Time ⏱⏱⏱
Ground and air travel have different associated costs. Flying is typically the fastest option, but also the most expensive and taxing on your pet.
Travel distance
The further you need to transport your pet, the more it'll cost. If you're using ground transportation, you'll have to factor in fuel costs, lodging, meals on the road and wear-and-tear on your vehicle. These costs are applicable whether you drive the pet yourself or you hire a shipping service provider through CitizenShipper. Airlines charge more for longer plane rides as well. This is due to the cost of fuel and the need compensate pilots and flight attendants.
Pet size
Smaller pets are easier – and less expensive – to transport. If you’re flying your Brittany, they’ll need to travel in the cargo hold if they’re over 20 pounds. You’ll also need to buy a USDA-approved crate, which can cost around $200. With ground transport, it’s easier for shipping service providers to accommodate small pets.
Health clearance and travel equipment
The first step to transporting your Brittany is ensuring they’re healthy enough to travel. Most species require a vet-issued health certificate to cross state lines. This will cost $50 to $300. You’ll likely need to purchase some equipment too – such as a crate and travel supplies.
With roots stretching back to the French province of Brittany, the cheerful Brittany breed was originally bred as gun dogs, renowned for their bird hunting prowess. These spirited canines are known for their boundless energy, intelligence, and keen sense of companionship. Due to their active nature and social inclinations, Brittanys can find travel stressful if their physical and mental stimulation needs are not met. Thoughtful preparations for their journey will ensure that these friendly furballs arrive happy and healthy at their destination.
Size and Physical Needs
Brittanys typically stand between 17.5 to 20.5 inches at the shoulder, weighing between 30 and 40 pounds. As highly energetic dogs, they thrive on plenty of exercises and open space. When transporting a Brittany, it is essential to consider a carrier size that provides enough room for them to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Regular stops for physical activity are a must to accommodate their zest for life.
Common Health Considerations
These robust canines can experience health issues like hip dysplasia and ear infections. Ensuring they are current with vaccinations and having an up-to-date health certificate is crucial when planning for travel. In addition, being proactive about joint care and maintaining ear cleanliness is advisable to prevent discomfort on the road.
How to prepare your Brittany for transport
At CitizenShipper, we pride ourselves on making pet transportation a breeze. However, there are things you can do ahead of time to make your best friend's trip safer and more comfortable.
Talk to your veterinarian
Your pet's safety is number one – that's why checking in with your vet before finalizing any travel plans is essential.
Can't make it to the vet's office in time? Conveniently video chat with a qualified veterinarian at Vetster – one of our amazing partners.
Here are the questions you'll want to ask your vet:
Is my pet healthy enough for transport?
Is my pet up to date on their vaccines?
Is my pet's microchip still in place and scannable?
Health and Vaccination Records
Gather all current health and vaccination documents for your Brittany. This includes a certificate of veterinary inspection and proof of rabies vaccination. Keep these easily accessible during transport, as they may need to be presented at any time.
Identification and Tracking
Fit your Brittany with a securely fastened collar that includes identification tags displaying your contact information. Prior to travel, ensure that their microchip information is updated, and consider the use of GPS devices for additional reassurance of their safety.
Comfort Items and Familiar Scents
To ease the stress of travel, include items such as a favorite blanket or toy, imbued with the scent of home. Familiar smells can have a calming effect and offer psychological comfort throughout the trip.
Essential pet transport travel supplies include:
Food, bowls and fresh water
Collars and leashes
Waste bags
Medication
First-aid supplies
Any travel documents
A secure, USDA-approved travel crate
Traveling to a new place is exciting but stressful for your pet. Pack their favorite toys, a bed or a comfy blanket to help them enjoy their journey. Familiar items remind them of home and will soothe their anxiety.
Tailored Travel Tips for Brittany
Managing Anxiety and Stress
Mitigate travel nerves by bringing your Brittany's favored chew toys or incorporating a doggy anxiety vest if required. Familiarize them with the travel carrier in advance and consider pheromone sprays or soothing music to create a relaxing travel space.
Exercise and Bathroom Breaks
Schedule regular stops for exercise and play to help a Brittany expend energy and relieve themselves. Aim for a break every 2-3 hours to keep them comfortable and prevent restlessness.
Temperature Control and Hydration
Maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature inside the vehicle, taking into account the seasonal climate. Provide ample water to keep your Brittany well-hydrated throughout the journey, avoiding excessive heat or cold exposure.
Post Transportation Care for your Brittany
Adjustment to New Surroundings
Allow your Brittany time to explore and become acquainted with their new environment. Maintain a calm demeanor to help them feel secure as they make the transition to their new home.
Monitoring Health Post-Travel
Observe your Brittany closely post-travel for any signs of illness or distress. If you note any unusual behavior or symptoms, consult a veterinarian promptly to ensure their wellbeing.
Continuing Care and Routine
Re-establish your Brittany's regular routine of meals, walks, and playtime as soon as possible. Consistency is key to helping them adapt and maintain their cheerful disposition in their new surroundings.
