Guest Blog: Transit Times and Travel Crates

Below is a guest blog from Marcus, our Domestic specialist:

We have all heard of the flux capacitor, if you haven't go out and rent Back to the Future (they made two sequels). The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible...when it works. However, the only way to assign any validity as to the authenticity of a flux capacitor is to ensure that it isn't working. "Hey Marcus, my flux capacitor works. What are you talking about?" Well my friend, I am sorry to to tell you that you don't have a real flux capacitor and you can't travel through time with a fake one. You can't travel through time with a busted one either; even though its real, its busted. The point is time travel is not possible. In the meantime we have to rely on traditional modes of transportation like the automobile or air travel.

We pride ourselves on providing the safest possible transport of live animals, and yet as hard as we try, the safest way and the fastest way are not always mutually exclusive. Nobody likes the idea of having their animals crated any longer than need be. However, it still takes a certain amount of time to cross the country, the Atlantic, or the Pacific. Whenever we can utilize a direct flight with a "pet safe" airline we do, but not every destination offers direct flights with these airlines. For my clients, I prefer to provide the routing that will provide the highest level of safety and comfort for their pet rather than to have the animal subjected to varying temperatures, strange and scary wait times outside on the ramp, or handled like luggage in order to shave off an hour of transit.
