I recently had a horrific experience when I moved to Midwest with transport of my labs. I hired a company that was “military verified”. They didn’t show up (I intercepted them in Indiana from Iowa). I got to my dogs, one needed emergancy care and was admitted to a clinic on oxygen and the other needed medical attention as well and medication. This was traumatic and expensive and I wanted to share.

this actually happened to me in Italy.... i flew ahead and had my sis in law send them after we were there ...the cargo crew saw them getting hot on a cart and sprayed them down with water.. but when i got them one of my dogs was in a daze. and when he saw me and finally snapped out off it he ran right to me.. and i scooped him up and put him in the trucks ac. my advice travel with your pets... when you stop for a layover ask to walk them.. check on them... especially if your transferring.. you can see their condition and make sure they get their bathroom breaks as well as water them.. don't fly without them..

I am sure a lot of service members who have moved cross county have had good experiences with hiring companies to transport via air or pet vans. If you have please share, I used a company called All paws headed Home Inc out of TN and I wouldn’t let them move a pet rock.

That’s un-fathomable. I have two labs that I brought with me to Bliss on my Reserve MOB. Thought about having them flown, but just took them in the SUV with me. Did the same when I went cross country to Bragg a couple of years ago. A little less packing space, got a rooftop carrier. Of course, these are temporary, I didn’t do a complete move.
Hope your pups are getting bette.
