Enough room for your pets. Enough room for everything they need. See why Suburban is perfect for you… and your four-legged friends.
Having a cat or a dog can be one of the greatest pleasures in life. They can be a constant companion, a loving friend when you need cheering or a lively character who makes everyone laugh with their antics. However, if your pet needs to travel, go to the vet or get other assistance like groomer’s appointments, it can be challenging to find the time if you’re working or busy.
That is where local companies have come up with innovative ways to move our pets around. For small fees for local transport to larger costs associated with airline flight, these businesses that offer pet transportation are happy to help people with their pets and their needs to move about to and from the places they need to be.
One thing to think about if you need pet transportation is scheduling and the fee structure. Many times, these pet transportation companies work weeks to months in advance, and they can be booked when there are big events or travel times. So call well in advance of when you need the help with your dog or cat.
Also, the fees can be smaller with local trips to somewhat expensive for longer journeys. Look for a listing of fees on the website or clarify in advance the number of fees or charges that you may have with doing longer trips, such as having a companion with your pet if they have to fly somewhere and you cannot take them.
Here are some Metro Detroit area pet transportation companies that are working with pet owners to get Fido or Fluffy to their appointments on time.
