Questions people ask

How much does it cost to move a pet within Canada?
It depends mostly on your pet's size, because a bigger pet needs a bigger crate and the airline charges by crate size or weight. The route, the pickup and delivery distance, and extras like a crate or a vet ride also count. Fill in the form and you see your exact price in about three minutes. See what affects the cost.
Which airlines do you use?
Air Canada Cargo and WestJet Cargo. They are the only airlines that carry pets as cargo from Toronto.
Can my pet fly without me?
Yes. Your pet flies as airline cargo in an approved crate. We handle the booking, the paperwork and the check-in at Pearson. Someone you choose collects your pet at the airline's cargo office at the other end, and we send them the address, the opening hours and the air waybill number. When your pet flies into Toronto, we collect them at Pearson and bring them home.
Do you drive pets to other cities?
Yes, within a day's drive of Toronto: places like Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston, London, Windsor, Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, door to door. We do not drive across the country. Long drives are hard on pets, and for cities further away a flight is faster and calmer.
Do owners ride along?
No. Pets only in our vehicles. If you are flying with your pet, we bring your pet to Pearson and meet you there.
What if my dog is a snub-nosed breed?
The airlines have extra rules for snub-nosed breeds like pugs, bulldogs and boxers, and may refuse them in hot weather. We check with the airline and price these moves by hand. See snub-nosed breeds and flying.
