Things To Do First
Once you have purchased or have a need to transport your pet and confirmed with both shipper and receiver that this will be the mode of transport, you can contact J.P:s First Class Pet Escort Pet Nanny via phone or email to schedule the transport.
In order to schedule a transport, pet must be able to fit in a soft sided carrier not larger than 18″ x 12″ x 12″ and weighing no more than 22 lbs (up to 35 lbs may be acceptable depending on breed, which must be pre approved before scheduling). If pet is larger than the maximum weight acceptable and was not pre-approved prior to the start of the transport, the pet may be denied transporting or the additional fees for overweight pet will apply and need to be paid before pet is released. NO Refund will be permitted of any fees if the pet is denied transport due to non-weight disclosure.
